Committee of Experts to examine the seismic problem and make appropriate recommendations. The Committee proposed a zoning map of Bangladesh in the same year. According to Bangladesh National Building Code (BNBC‚ 1993)‚ Bangladesh is divided into 3 earthquake zones (Figure- 6): Zone –1: the less risky zone. The Zone-1 comprising the southwestern part of Bangladesh (Jessore‚ Khulna and Barisal Districts) is seismically quiet‚ with an estimated basic seismic co-efficient of 0.04. Zone–2: medium vulnerable

your head so as to keep it lower than the back. If possible‚ keep your hands above your head while you bend. Avoid stairs Never go to the stairs as this is the first part of a building to be damaged. Even if they are not destroyed by the earthquake‚ they may well collapse with the weight of panicking people attempting to flee down them. Avoid the bottom floor The higher you are in a building the less weight will be crushing down upon you and the safer you will be. Avoid doorways

measure of the magnitude of seismic waves from an earthquake. Devised in 1935 by the American seismologist Charles F. Richter (1900–1985) and technically known as the local magnitude scale‚ it has been superseded by the moment magnitude scale‚ which was developed in the 1970s. The Richter scale is logarithmic; that is‚ the amplitude of the waves increases by powers of 10 in relation to the Richter magnitude numbers. The energy released in an earthquake can easily be approximated by an equation that

tsunami/earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Disaster 1 – Japanese Tsunami and Earthquake On Friday the 11th of March 2011‚ a magnitude 9.0 Earthquake struck coastal waters‚ along a subduction zone‚ surrounding Japanese islands. At the time of the Earthquake‚ no one expected what was about to occur‚ one of the most devastating tsunamis to have ever hit Japan. Earthquakes are caused by forces deep within the Earth when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.

In 1973‚ Pinochet successfully led a military coup in Chili‚ removing Allende and his Socialist government from power. For many years‚ Pinochet ruled as a military dictator over the South American country‚ which forced many citizens to become Chilean refugees. Many Chileans sought asylum in countries such as Britain and Sweden. It was Canada‚ however‚ that received a significant portion of these refugees. Here are 10 facts about Chilean Refugees: 1. Repression forced Chileans to flee. Pinochet replaced

Earth’s Newest Superhero: Ionospheric Earthquake Prediction‚ How it May Change the Lives of Those Effected Abstract Making an earthquake forecast that is successful is still one of the biggest challenges before the scientists. Losses caused by earthquakes alone are greater than the loss caused by any other natural calamity. Many attempts have been made from ancient times to predict seismic events‚ but success has not been achieved yet. This is about to change with the study

Earthquakes in Australia Australia is a very lucky country that suffers very few earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. Earthquakes are caused by converging plates (usually subducting)‚ and there a 4 different types of waves in two categories; firstly there is Body waves which are broken into primary and secondary waves (these travel through the earth) Surface waves travel through only the crust and are called Love and Rayleigh. These Waves (the earthquakes) are measured by a seismograph/ a device that

Tsunami and Earthquake Sion Hau 7D 31/07/11 An earthquake occurred in Sendai‚ Japan on the 11th of March in 2011; this earthquake also resulted in a tsunami. The earthquake measured at magnitude 8.9-9.0 on the Richter scale‚ the scale is measured in powers of ten (e.g. magnitude 2.0 is ten times more than magnitude 1.0). Japan sits on the Ring of Fire (an area encircling Pacific Ocean that has high volcanic and earthquake activity)

March 27‚ 1964 a magnitude 9.2 earthquake hit Alaska its epicenter located in Prince William Sound‚ 75 miles east of Anchorage. This earthquake was and still is the second larges earthquake ever recorded (Christensen). The plates involved In this major earthquake were the Pacific plate and North American plate. This subduction zone is know as Aleutian-Alaska megathrust zone (Sokolowski). This region was known for its active plate tectonics‚ but this earthquake did come as a surprise to the public
