Where is the location of that June 19 quake (to the nearest tenth of a degree latitude and longitude)? Follow the steps 1 through 4 to complete the table below (refer to and complete Appendix D, reproduced from Geoscience

On August 24, 2014 a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in and around the city of Napa, CA. The earthquake killed one person and injured over 150 people. And these people were treated at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa [1]. More and more earthquakes occurred on this earth. So this grasps people’s attention.

An Earthquake that registered 7.8 on the Richter Scale which lasted approximately 1 minute caused catastrophic damage to the City of Berkeley and LPHG. As a result of the Earthquake 31

The 1906 disaster, a major earthquake estimated at between 7.8 and 8.3 magnitude. Haiti’s was a 7.0 in 2010.On

Earthquake Hazards occur when there are adverse effects on human activities. This can include surface faulting, ground shaking and liquefaction. In this essay I will be discussing the factors that affect earthquakes, whether human such as population density, urbanisation and earthquake mitigation or physical such as liquefaction, magnitude, landslides and proximity to the focus.

Shake Maps provide an alternative way to investigate a seismic event, with an emphasis more on surface strength and its impacts, than in ground- motion modelling. Shake maps rely on the use of the Modern Mercalli Intensity scale (referred to in the rest of this literature review as the MMI scale) to represent the strength an earthquake. MMI is a scale which is used to show the strength of an earthquake, with regards to the damage it causes. This is an area of investigation for the 1906 San Francisco in which there are numerous sources from Lawson et al. as volume one of the report contains countless reports of damage caused across the state of California by the 1906 earthquake. While adjustments have been made to the scale we use

The earthquake was caused by a “blind thrust” fault action along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system, which had been building up stress for the past 250 years. A blind fault is a rupture in a lithospheric plate that does not reach the surface of the Earth. According to researchers from the University of Colorado, the rupture was “approximately 65 kilometers long” accompanied by lateral movement of 1.8 meters on average. The event recorded a magnitude 7.0 and an intensity associated with the IX category of the Modified Mercalli scale.

Let’s imagine a situation where I would have to deal with a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 7.1;

On Tuesday 22nd February 2011 at 12.51pm, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit Christchurch which killed 185 people and injured several thousand. The earthquake epicentre was near Lyttelton, just 10 kilometres south-east of Christchurch’s central business district. The earthquake occurred more than five months after the 4 September 2010 earthquake, but is considered to be an aftershock of the earlier quake.
