Magnitude 8.0 SOLOMON ISLANDS . Wednesday, 6 February, 2013 at 01:12:23 UTC. Australia. Magnitude 8.0 SOLOMON ISLANDS . Wednesday, 6 February, 2013 at 01:12:23 UTC. Tsunami model amplitude information is shown colour-coded to the scale. Filled colours show maximum computed tsunami amplitude in cm during 24 hours of wave propagation. Black contours show computed tsunami arrival time. . Are You Prepared To Ride It Out? We have heard it so many times –the “big one” is coming. In our lifetime, we still haven’t seen or felt that huge earthquake. That shouldn’t stop us from preparing. The Transamerica Pyramid, San Fransisco. It has been build pyramid shaped as this is hard to topple over. . http://. Footage of the transamerica pyramid. /. The Beijing National Stadium, China. To earthquake-proof the stadium, the bowl and roof were split into two separate elements and the bowl split into eight zones, each with its own stability system and effectively its own building. .

The plates are usually marked by fractures or fault lines formed when the plates tear apart or slide or collide past each other. This results in a change of the earth’s interior masses which send out powerful shock waves with enough force to alter the surface of the earth. The shock waves can thrust up cliffs and open huge cracks on the ground leading to an earthquake event. Earthquake Risk. Earthquakes are likely wherever plate movement stores energy in the rock along faults.. Geologists can determine earthquake risk by locating where faults are active and where past earthquakes have occurred.. S. eries . E. arthquake.’. 1989 San Francisco Earthquake. The Epicentre.
