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. .

Occurred just before midday on 25 April 2015. 7.8 Magnitude at a depth of around 15 . kilometres. The . epicentre. was the village of . Barpak. in the . Gorkha. district. The tremors were felt as far away as India, Pakistan and Bhutan.. Hazards are produced from the response of energy released. Amount and duration are related to the amount of energy released.

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.. earthquake. (also known as a . quake. , . tremor. or . temblor. ) is the result of a sudden release of energy in the . Earth's. . crust. that creates . seismic waves. . . The . seismicity. , . seismism.

Strahler. and A.H. . Strahler. ,(1976), ‘An earthquake is a vibration or oscillation of the surface of the earth caused by a transient disturbance of the elastic or gravitational equilibrium of the rocks at or beneath the earth the surface’..
