Effects of earthquakes Shaking and ground rupture Shaking and ground rupture are the main effects created by earthquakes‚ principally resulting in more or less severe damage to buildings and other rigid structures. The severity of the local effects depends on the complex combination of the earthquake magnitude‚ the distance from the epicenter‚ and the local geological and geomorphological conditions‚ which may amplify or reduce wave propagation.[44] The ground-shaking is measured by ground acceleration

because it was shook by an earthquake‚ attacked with a tsunami‚ and kicked in the neck by a hurricane. All jokes aside‚ these were horrible incidents that happened to the small country of Haiti. The earthquake that shook Haiti happened on January 12‚ it had a magnitude of 7.0‚ killed about 230‚000 people and injured about 300‚000 people.

Dear the Society for Earthquake Enthusiasts; I feel as a member of the Society for Earthquake Enthusiasts‚ I need to express my opinion on your ideas to move our headquarters to San Francisco. While I am a lover of California and appreciate California from afar‚ I feel as though we should rethink relocating to California. I feel as though this is the best choice to make due to the fact that the earthquake of 1906 was just only a preview of what the San Andreas Fault can do to San Francisco. Due

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

One of the strongest earthquakes in Mexico history struck the country’s southern coast. It happened later on a Thursday night. The earthquake destroyed hundreds of buildings. Panicked people ran into the streets in the middle of the night. About 90 people died. The earthquake hit minutes before midnight and caused buildings to sway violently in Mexico City. The capital of Mexico is more than 650 miles away from where the earthquake had struck. Beds were banging against walls. People still wearing

The destructive effects of an earthquake can be classified into primary and secondary effects. Primary effects are the immediate damage caused by the quake‚ such as collapsing buildings‚ roads and bridges‚ which may kill many people. Those lucky enough to survive can suffer badly from shock and panic. Secondary effects are the after-effects of the earthquake‚ such as fires‚ tidal waves‚ landslides and disease. Fire - earthquakes destroy gas pipes and electric cables‚ causing fires to spread
