Earthquake is a natural disaster, always threatening the lives of people. On May 12th, 2008, a terrible earthquake took place in Sichuan. Most houses fell down. Thousands of people were killed or injured and the whole cities were destroyed. This earthquake is like nature reminds...

The planet has four major layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. The crust makes up a thin skin on the exterior of our planet, but this skin is not all in one part, it’s made up of many pieces similar a puzzle...

The New Madrid earthquakes of 1811–12, were three large earthquakes that happened near New Madrid, Missouri, from December 1811 to February 1812. There were thousands of aftershocks, about 1,874 of them were so large that they could be felt as far as Louisville, Kentucky, almost...

The Earth had formed over 4.5 billion years from now and since then, we are still seeing changes. We are seeing volcanoes erupting and earthquakes shaking the earth’s surface causing massive destruction, the causes is due to plate tectonics. The plate tectonic theory is the...

An earthquake is when the ground starts shaking caused by a slip on a fault. Stresses in the earth’s outer layer push the sides of the fault together. Stress builds up and the rocks suddenly slip releasing a ton of energy in waves that travel...

Parts of an Earthquake?-Earthquakes happen when two pieces of Earth all of the sudden slip past each other. The surfaces that slip past each other are called fault line or fault plane. An earthquake starts in the hypocenter, which is located beneath Earth’s surface. Right...

Scientists could predict whether or not major earthquakes are likely to occur, however, based on the movement of the plates in the Earth and the location of fault zones. They also can make general guesses about when earthquakes might occur in a certain area, by...

Parts of an Earthquake?- If two pieces of Earth, all of the sudden slip past each other then an Earthquake will follow. The surfaces that slip past each other are called fault line or fault plane. An earthquake starts in the hypocenter, which is located...

Probable causes and governing factors related to the manifestation and distribution of intraplate earthquakes are proved to be very much subtle. Different researchers have tried to explain this earthquake in different perception and several model have been proposed till date. On a global context, occurrence...

Out of many natural disasters, an earthquake is considered one of the most dangerous and evil. Until these recent days, the prediction of the shocks is one of the hardest tasks for the scientists to do. When the earthquake appears the giant cracks happen in...

Earthquake faults are way more complex than you could have thought. There have been a lot of trial and error geologists have gone through to figure out these natural occurrences and they haven’t even figured out most of their nature hood. So, what do geologists...

Absolute mayhem has just occurred in California, as a devastating 9. 3 earthquake has hit, leaving San Francisco and surrounding cities completely destroyed. With reports of over 100, 000 deaths, and four times that many severe sustained injuries, there are is no time to waste....

Natural hazards have always fascinated me and therefore I made a decision to write this article on the subject. Earthquakes just like other hazards of nature are unpredictable and remain one of the most devastating among all natural disasters. A disturbing yet an inevitable fact...

Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, typhoons, and hurricanes inflict serious damage and so seem to be bad for the economy. For firms, natural disasters destroy tangible assets such as buildings and equipment as well as human capital and thereby deteriorate their production capacity. These...

Think about how life would be if there is no earthquake? Build an imagery of what Earth will look like. You will probably say that there would be less destruction, loss of lives and earth would be a safer place to live in. But earthquake...

Introduction Haiti is a poor city; however, it’s better known for its frequent and destructive earthquakes. Earthquakes are caused by the movement and tension between the tectonic plates. In this scenario, Haiti lays in between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates, two major fault...
