The New Madrid Fault Zone History The largest earthquake sequence the United States has ever experienced happened east of the Rocky Mountains starting out in Northeast Arkansas on December 16‚ 1811. On the Richter scale‚ it was ~7.7 and five hours later AK experienced an aftershock of a magnitude of ~7.0. A little over a month later on January 23‚ 1812 New Madrid‚ MO experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of ~7.5‚ and again on February 7‚ 1812 reaching a magnitude of ~7.7. By March 15

Reflection seismic data along Orsa profile was acquired in 2011 (Fig. 2) by Juhlin et al. (2012). The length of the profile was 12 km directed by NE-SW direction. The acquisition line is crooked for the purpose of the facility. and followed roads and forest due to crooked line. The general acquisition parameters list in Table 1. Table 1 list the data acquisition along the profile. The VIBSIST 3000 was used as a source to generate the seismic signal with 542 points and 20 m source spacing. The spread

‘Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid.’ Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. (40 marks) Over the years proceeding the birth of the theory‚ increasingly convincing evidence has been gathered for proof of the theory of plate tectonics. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner proposed the theory that continents are sat upon tectonic plates and that these plates are slowly drifting around the Earth (continental drift).

‘The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people’ to what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and sesmin events and activities can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically develop countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been masses of examples of where volcanic and seismis event have had an impact on both MEDCs and
