Would earthquakes of similar magnitudes in different populated regions of the Earth cause approximately the same levels of damage? In your discussions‚ consider both geologic and human-induced factors. The amount of damage caused by an Earthquake does not solely depend on the magnitude of the Earthquake. Factors such as population‚ geographic location‚ soil type‚ and the type of building material commonly used for construction in a region determine the extent of damage caused. If an Earthquake strikes

state what the cause of earthquakes was. In 1960‚ Michell noted that “earthquakes and the waves of energy that they make are caused by shifting masses of rock‚ miles below the surface” in a scientific memoir (USGS‚ 32). In order for you to completely understand the process of an earthquake you must first understand the process of how an earthquake is measured. An earthquake may not be able to be predicted at the moment but the intensity and magnitude of the earthquake can be measured and categorized

What is earthquake? Earthquake is just a sudden movement of the earth’s crust caused by the release stress accumulated along geologic faults by volcanic activity but just because of this sudden movement‚ it can destroyed a city in a few minutes. As far as the environmental problems which are widely prevalent in the twenty-first century are concerned‚ earthquakes definitely stand out as the most widespread one. Even though most of the government takes measures to rout out earthquakes‚ they are disappointed

Whether that may be a severe thunderstorm‚ tornado‚ hurricane‚ or a Magnitude 9 earthquake there is always a financial consequence for most of these natural disasters. After a earthquake occurs the country affected by the earthquake has to rebuild and restructure their nation back to where it was before the earthquake occurred. The overall problem is a country that might not have sufficient funds to restructure after a earthquake could be a big problem to how the country can go back to where it was before

waves that radiate from where the earthquake starts‚ a place called the focus. These Seismic waves are what cause the intense shaking at the Earth’s surface that can cause buildings and roads to collapse. All across the world governments are going to great lengths to ensure the safety of their citizens by building resistant structures that are designed to withstand earthquakes and prevent the immense damage their shock waves do.
