In May 2008‚ a major earthquake hit Sichuan in the south west of China‚ it was estimated that around 69 000 to 80 000 people were killed and buildings collapsed with people in them information from an OCR science booklet‚ a news sheet. In my case study‚ I will be writing about Should we spend more money on predicting for an earthquake than on preparing a town for an earthquake I will do this by discussing different point of views of people if they agree or disagree with the statement above and use

when analyzing data from earthquake reconnaissance. Though there are significant differences between the uses of concrete in structures‚ it is certain that the properties of the concrete should match the task they are meant to perform. For instance‚ concrete which is intended to perform well in seismic regions should ideally be designed differently from typical concrete. This is a practice which is already in place in newer structures in seismic zones. During earthquake reconnaissance‚ I feel it

Alaska Earthquake 1964 Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Perhaps you have felt a small tremor or a large one. Whatever the case‚ you are not alone. Many people have experienced an earthquake at some point in their lives. It is an interesting experience and hard to forget. It can also be frightening as well‚ especially if you are caught off guard. Imagine going about your daily life when all of a sudden the ground starts to shake. Things fall and buildings collapse.

The Earthquake-Resilient Building The Brilliant Idea: A replaceable‚ building-wide system to help hospitals‚ apartment buildings and office towers survive severe seismic shaking. By Logan Ward and the Editors of Popular Mechanics September 30‚ 2010 6:30 AM Elastic high-strength steel cables run down the center of the system’s frame. The cables control the rocking of the building and‚ when the earthquake is over‚ pull it back into proper alignment. A steel frame situated around a building’s

What patterns to you see in the distribution of earthquakes across the continental United States? In researching the earthquake patterns across the United States. I noticed that a majority of the earthquakes are located along the western shorelines of California and some small amounts of seismic activities in the lower parts of the south east territories of the United States. These earthquakes occur along the Pacific coast and continue southward along the Pacific coast and North along the Pacific

Why are earthquake impacts different in LEDCs and MEDCs? Any disaster either caused by humans or Mother Nature will make an impact but this depends where it hits. Obviously‚ if a disaster‚ or an earthquake in this case occurs somewhere densely populated rather an isolated area it will have a greater impact as life could be lost‚ buildings destroyed and as a result‚ high prices to pay. We will be looking at the impacts of earthquakes in Lower Economically Developed Countries and More Economically
