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.

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. .

Overview of CUSEC. . Formed in 1983. Result of a growing body of research . Partnership effort between State and Federal Government. 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. Creation. Flood. Crucifixion. Los Angeles sinking.
