Earthquakes: Why do some places suffer more than others? Whilst earthquakes are perhaps the most frequently occurring natural hazard‚ their impact on people‚ property and communities varies enormously from one place to another. It is possible to identify a number of factors that cause some places to suffer more than others. Whilst some are large scale and are to do with tectonic location‚ others are decided at a much more local scale‚ and relate to building design and levels of preparedness. Perhaps

PURPOSE A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering. I choose to major in Electrical& Electronic Engineering with an intense urge to delve into the challenging field. During my under graduation program I learned the various fundamentals of Electrical& Electronics Engineering which together with practical course work reinforce interest. Right from my school‚ I had a penchant towards Mathematics‚ Science

What you would do before‚ during and after an earthquake? Earthquake is a natural phenomenon that happens all over the world. It causes a lot of horrible losses and sometimes even human losses. It shivers even when we talk about it‚ it’s like been played with‚ you can think only about one thing that your life is about to end. So what you would do before‚ during and after the earthquake if you knew that it might happen in a week?! At the beginning you must know how to be prepared is a good question

our society than earthquakes? Many people may argue that volcanoes are much more dangerous than earthquakes due to the devastating impact it has on people lives and the area it takes place in; however‚ others may solidify that earthquakes are infinitely more catastrophic than volcanoes considering the amount of destruction that it causes. There are two types of plates‚ oceanic and continental. Various types of movement occur along the different types of plate boundaries. Earthquakes measuring a magnitude

Andreas Fault and its role in Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Prediction The San Andreas Fault is one of the most widely studied faults in the world. Scientists use an array of methods in collecting data and providing analysis of fault characteristics both past and present. Presently there are many differing hypothesis and models used to describe crustal movements and deformation within the Pacific and North American plate boundary. Historical earthquakes along this fault have proven to be rather large

Japan and Earthquake/Tsunami Mitigation Geography 312 – Term Paper Alexandra Bradshaw – 301144682 March 29th‚ 2012 On March 11th 2011‚ Japan suffered a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off its northern coast‚ followed by an enormous tsunami which took the lives of around 20‚000 people. An earthquake of this magnitude had never been experienced in the history of mankind‚ and came as a shock to many seismologists. With the title of being the most earthquake prepared country in the world‚ Japan was thought

The strongest earthquake hit Mexico in a century. Thousands of people lost their homes after the earthquake hit Mexico.The earthquake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the earthquake in 1985 that killed around 10‚000 people. The earthquake occurred two weeks after a magnitude of a 8.1 tremor in the south of the country that killed more than 90 people. It also cause building and houses in Mexico City to sway for more than a min while it was happening. Nieto said that “This earthquake has been the biggest

one of the deadliest earthquakes shook Japan on March 11th 2011. A 500 kilometre-long fault zone was ruptured off the northeast coast of Japan. The epicentre was situated 130 kilometres east from the big city‚ Sendai. The focus occurred at a relatively shallow depth (about 30 km) underneath the Pacific Ocean. The earthquake had the largest magnitude of 9.0‚ which Japan had ever recorded and can only be explained by plate tectonics. As seen in figure 3‚ the earthquake occurred in a subducting

Earthquake Madness and Jack London‚ an Eyewitness Did you know that San Francisco had an earthquake that completely destroyed most of the city in 1906? The Story of an Eyewitness by Jack London is a close up detailed memoir of this event. In 1906‚ there was a major earthquake in San Francisco that destroyed most of the city. After the earthquake many fires broke out‚ forcing people out of their homes and businesses‚ and also there was many fatalities. Jack London uses excellent literary devices when
