Large magnitude earthquakes have been observed in Sub-Saharan Africa in the recent past, such as the Machaze event of 2006 (Mw, 7.0) in Mozambique and the 2009 Karonga earthquake (Mw 6.2) in Malawi. The December 13, 1910 earthquake (Ms = 7.3) in the Rukwa rift (Tanzania) is the larg...

According the theory of plate tectonics, Earth's outer shell is made up of a series of plates. The map above shows names and generalized locations of Earth's major tectonic plates. These plates move and interact with one another to produce earthquakes, volcanoes, mountain ranges, ocean ...
it is mainly induced by earthquakes, volcanic activities, storms, tsunami, and other sudden geological events. Submarine turbidity current is commonly found in China seas, and it is mainly distributed in Okinawa trough of the East China Sea,continental slope, deep sea basin of the South China Se...
However, the map also presents various regions with high strain rates but in which no damaging earthquakes have occurred since 1990. One of these regions is the Apennine sector, formed by Sannio and Irpinia. This area represents one of the most important seismic districts...
earthquakes with M ≥ 7.5 were all significantly larger than expected, based on the hazard map (by 2.3 intensity units for the 12 deadliest earthquakes); and calculations of losses of life based on the hazard map underestimate the losses sustained in the 12 recent earthquakes with more than 1...
Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions have caused abundant loss of life and properties in the past few decades. Due to these natural processes, landslides, rockfalls, debris flows, and surface collapses have been triggered. More importantly, under the impact of accelerated industrialization and ...
Fethiye–Burdur Fault Zone (FBFZ) produces moderate to large earthquakes which can severely affect the surrounding cities spreading towards the basins of the region. In this study, with the aim of feature city planning, very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF) survey was carried out across (FBFZ...
