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. Visualizing Crustal Thickness from active-source seismology... Why Care?. Understanding the fine details of what is happening beneath the Earth is largely an open ended scientific inquiry.. Studying the magma body below the sea floor could contribute to understanding and perhaps someday harnessing hydrothermal vents.. 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. .

Rescue efforts are continuing in Nepal after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake killed hundreds of people.. Hospitals are inundated with the injured, while many survivors who have lost homes will be now sleeping . Hazards are produced from the response of energy released. Amount and duration are related to the amount of energy released. Which hazards do you know?. Earthquake Hazards. Tsunami: displacement of a large volume of water. Tectonic plates are huge rock pieces within the earth’s crust. 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.
