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

Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building structures are vulnerable to severe damage and/or collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. Among the possible structural damages‚ seismic induced pounding has been commonly observed in several earthquakes. A parametric study on buildings pounding response as well as proper seismic hazard mitigation practice for adjacent buildings is carried out. Three categories of recorded earthquake excitation are used for input

Hazard identification Malathion is an insecticide that is used primarily on crops to control insects. Malathion brakes down quickly when exposed to the elements like soil‚ water‚ and sunlight. Normally people are not exposed to this insecticide unless they are in the vicinity of the area that is being sprayed. Then the risk will be the spray that is in the air‚ or on surfaces that have been touched. (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov) Malathion affects how the brain and the nervous system
