An earthquake (also known as a quake‚ tremor or temblor) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth’s crust that creates seismic waves. The seismicity‚ seismism or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency‚ type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Tectonic earthquakes occur anywhere in the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a fault plane. The sides of a fault move past each other smoothly

Thesis: Earthquakes have been a natural part of Earth for many years and are caused by a shift in the Earth’s tectonic plates. Tectonic plates shift when two separated pieces of Earth’s crust push together because of the pressure of the hot air below them pushing up on the plates from the heat of the Earth’s core. This pressure must be released somehow‚ so when the pressure becomes too great for the plates to withstand‚ one part of a plate gives way to the pressure by rising above the other part

Earthquakes are one of the most destructive of natural hazards. Earthquake occurs due to sudden transient motion of the ground as a result of release of elastic energy in a matter of few seconds. The impact of the event is most traumatic because it affects large area‚ occurs all on a sudden and unpredictable. They can cause large scale loss of life and property and disrupts essential services such as water supply‚ sewerage systems‚ communication and power‚ transport etc. They not only destroy villages

In 2010‚ a huge earthquake hit Haiti and almost flattened the tiny country. A year later‚ in 2011‚ an equally huge if not bigger earthquake hit Japan. Many people were affected in Japan but now the country is running smoothly again while Haiti’s poverty rates are still as a high as 80%. Why did these earthquakes have such different effects on these countries? The most significant reason these earthquakes had such different effects is the simple matter that Japan is just much more prepared than

The result of the team’s effort was a book which describes the science and the political ramifications of this technology. That book‚ Angels Don’t Play this HAARP: Advances in Tesla Technology‚ has 230 pages. This article will only give the highlights. Despite the amount of research (350 footnoted sources)‚ at its heart it is a story about ordinary people who took on an extraordinary challenge in bringing

Kobe Earthquake – Case Study Kobe Earthquake – Case Study In the early morning of January the 17th 1995 instruments in a lab in western Japan picked up a burst of intense electro-magnetic radiation. It was the signature of a massive earthquake which had just struck the City of Kobe from its epicentre 20 kilometres to the south west. There was no warning‚ 180‚000 buildings were destroyed‚ an urban area 20 kilometres long and 4 kilometres wide was totally wrecked. Nothing moved in or out of Kobe
