An Earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rocks beneath the earth surface. Over time, stresses build beneath the Earth’s surface. Occasionally, stress is released resulting in the sudden, and sometime disastrous shaking we call an earthquake. The shaking could last seconds or minutes, and there may be several earthquakes over a period ranging from hours to weeks called foreshocks and aftershocks, the later decreasing in magnitude with time. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. Earthquakes are measured using observations from seismometers. The moment magnitude is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale, also referred to as the Richter scale. These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible and magnitude 7 and over potentially cause serious damage over large areas, depending on their depth. The largest earthquakes in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although there is no limit to the possible magnitude. The most recent large earthquake of magnitude 9.0 or larger was a 9.0 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 (as of March 2011), and it was the largest Japanese earthquake since records began. Intensity of shaking is measured on the modified Mercalli scale. The shallower an earthquake, the more damage to structures it causes, all else being equal. At the Earth's surface, earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground. When the epicentre of a large earthquake is located offshore, the seabed may be displaced sufficiently to cause a tsunami. Earthquakes can also trigger landslides, and occasionally volcanic activity.

(I) Introduction

Project Overview

(i) Concept

To make the whole website as earthquake effect, I choose to use wall crack as my wallpaper to make my. I also will make my wallpaper a bit transparent so that readers can easily read the contents of my website. In order to contrast my words, I will create a white box above my wallpaper, inside this big box, I will write down all my content in it. Above the big box, I will create a picture slide and few buttons for linking to other pages.

(ii) Colour

I would like to choose the colour above (ffffff) as my main website base colour as I feel that it is easy to see any clean. Therefore, I chose white as my background colour. For my design, I used those red colours to do it. In order to contrast the words and my design, I choose black (000000), dark rose (A6948A) as my font colours. For that CDCDCD, I will use it as my border box colour.

(iii) Font

These are some font type that I will use in my website:

Pulse

Pulse is a font that good for earthquake effect. I feel that it’s very nice looking for my title ,and it look great when I make it in bigger point sizes. Therefore, I choose this typeface for the title of my website.

Optimus Princeps Optimus Princeps is a formal and nice typeface, this is the reason why I choose this type font for my title. Plus, I feel it can easily stand out the meaning of my topic.

Kartika Kartika this type font will be used in my content because I feel that is very comfortable when I’m reading.

Finally, I finished this website with lots of helps from Mr. SMK. From creating this website, I know many knowledge about how earthquake happened. I learn so much coding part in this subject also. Plus, I do really appreciate any of my friends who help and give me opinion in my web design. Thank you so much.
