## Resource

When the ground moves, stories surface—about how faults fail, why small quakes ripple across provinces, and how a few seconds of warning can change outcomes. We sit down with seismologist Marika from Earthquakes Canada to translate seismic science into everyday clarity and practical steps that keep people safer. We start with the core mechanics: stress, friction, and sudden slip along faults that launch P and S waves through the crust. Marika breaks down why the old, cold, and uniform rocks ...
