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

An earthquake is a sudden and violent shaking of the ground‚ sometimes causing great destruction‚ as a result of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action. This happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The Earth’s crust is made up of about a dozen plates on which the continents and oceans
