EARTHQUAKE IN BANGLADESH An earthquake is a sudden‚ rapid shaking of the Earth caused by the release of energy stored in rocks. It is a natural phenomenon like rain. Earthquakes have occurred for billions of years. Descriptions as old as recorded history show the significant effects they have had on people’s lives. Long before there were scientific theories for the cause of earthquakes‚ people around the world created folklore to explain them. In simple terms‚ earthquakes are caused by the constant

Earthquakes and Logarithms Earthquakes are responsible for a wast majority of natural hazards on our planet. This natural geological phenomena are almost impossible to predict‚ and they occur usually in zones of the planet that are prone to movement in the uppermost crust of the earth. Certain areas are more likely to experience earthquakes‚ and also the aftermath of the earthquakes can be just as destructive or sometimes even more. Different methods of measuring earthquakes have been implemented

Comparing Kobe and Sichuan Earthquake- “The wealth of a country influences the nature of the earthquake event experienced there”. With reference to the Kobe earthquake (1995) and Sichuan earthquake (2008)‚ decide whether this statement is true or not. This statement can be true in a number of ways‚ because an MEDCs have generally better infrastructures made for withstanding huge earthquakes unlike LEDCs where houses (especially squatter settlements) are damaged very easily and this makes the

Nepal earthquake The April 2015 Nepal earthquake (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)[6][9] killed more than 8‚800 people and injured more than 23‚000. It occurred at 11:56 NST on 25 April‚ with a magnitude of 7.8Mw[1] or 8.1Ms[2] and a maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was east of the district of Lamjung‚ and its hypocenter was at a depth of approximately 15 km (9.3 mi).[1] It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal–Bihar earthquake.[10][11][12]

A Discussion On Earthquakes Perhaps Mother Nature offers no greater force than that of the earthquake. Across the span of time‚ earthquakes have been recorded for their incredible destructive forces‚ and their abilities to awe mankind with their unparalleled force. Earthquakes can often strike without any notice‚ leveling large cities and killing scores of innocent people. Not only can earthquakes bring harm to society through these methods of destruction‚ but they can also cause millions

Effects of earthquakes Shaking and ground rupture Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes‚ principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. The severity of the local effects depends on the complex combination of the earthquake magnitude‚ the distance from the epicenter‚ and the local geological and geomorphological conditions‚ which may amplify or reduce wave propagation.[44] The ground-shaking is measured by ground acceleration

because it was shook by an earthquake‚ attacked with a tsunami‚ and kicked in the neck by a hurricane. All jokes aside‚ these were horrible incidents that happened to the small country of Haiti. The earthquake that shook Haiti happened on January 12‚ it had a magnitude of 7.0‚ killed about 230‚000 people and injured about 300‚000 people. It lasted about 35 seconds‚ it was one of the strongest temblor to hit Haiti in more than 200 years. What caused the earthquake to happen was that the North
