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. . The Transamerica Pyramid, San Fransisco. It has been build pyramid shaped as this is hard to topple over. . http://.

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.

According to A.N. . 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’..
