EARTHQUAKES In its most general sense‚ the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event — whether natural or caused by humans — that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture of geological faults‚ but also by other events such as volcanic activity‚ landslides‚ mine blasts‚ and nuclear tests. An earthquake’s point of initial rupture is called its focus or hypocenter. The epicenter is the point at ground level directly above the hypocenter

However‚ we saw how they took some in consideration of earthquakes and instead of building concrete walls around it‚ they built concrete floor on the foundation all under the dorm. They did this indoor to stop the swaying individually‚ but to make the whole dorm sway as one. This will stop the tearing and the disruption of the dorms and the foundations.

up between the plates also causing regular earthquakes which can sometimes result in tsunamis as well. In the Philippines earthquakes have multiple impacts. This is partly to do with the physical geography of the land. Being a group of islands means that the epicentres of the earthquakes are often in the sea‚ which increases the likelihood of tsunamis. It is also very mountainous inland which means many areas are vulnerable to landslides. One earthquake in 2006 triggered landslides‚ a flood and a
