to choose the specific field of study. My decision to apply for master program in Seismology at University of Potsdam is driven by my strong desire to be able to explore earth structure and seismic condition of this earth‚ especially in Aceh. According to the geographical condition‚ Aceh‚ one of provinces in Indonesia‚ is located on the ‘Pacific Ring of Fire’ which causes many earthquakes every year. Seismology is crucially needed in Aceh to be explored for further study about earthquake. Lack

Earthquakes and Logarithms Earthquakes are responsible for a wast majority of natural hazards on our planet. This natural geological phenomena are almost impossible to predict‚ and they occur usually in zones of the planet that are prone to movement in the uppermost crust of the earth. Certain areas are more likely to experience earthquakes‚ and also the aftermath of the earthquakes can be just as destructive or sometimes even more. Different methods of measuring earthquakes have been implemented

Loma Prieta Earthquake Story Teller By: Kavita Butani There is a lot that happens around the world we cannot control. We cannot stop earthquakes‚ we cannot prevent droughts‚ and we cannot prevent conflict. Earthquakes and the damages they bring have affected the lives of many people around the world forever. As our community grows so does the danger caused by these quakes also increases by mass. Earthquakes can affect our lives in many ways; this type of natural disaster can upset everything from

Who copes better with Earthquakes: HIC or LIC? This report will focus on examples of different earthquakes happening around the world and explain why some countries cope better than others. To cope well‚ the country should have low death tolls‚ good communication with rescue services and other countries willing to help‚ evacuation and other emergency plans are planned well‚ and minimizing the amount of damage done to the country. What are HIC and LIC countries? HIC‚ also known as MEDC‚ stand
