Earthquakes: Fault LinesEarthquakes can also occur far from the edges of tectonic plates, along faults. Faults are cracks in the lithosphere caused by the stresses created as sections of a plate (or two plates) are moving in different directions. In this case, the earthquake event is called ...

The movie is in fact split in two as if by a fault line: the quake itself ends at the one-hour point, almost exactly halfway through, and during the second half the majority of the specific threats inEarthquakeare man-made. Heston dies at the end because he is t...
In areas that were developed after fault map studies were published, developers have avoided building on top of the fault, placing buildings away fromfault lineswhile still building in the fault zone. Developers in Signal Hill built homes carefully away from the Newport-Inglewood fault; parks and ...
What makes Turkey even more vulnerable is the movement from the Anatolian plate is essentially slipping along the fault lines of the North Anatolian fault zone, the most seismically active fault zone in the world, Stewart said. MORE: Turkey earthquake: 2 ...

ANKARA, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Turkey is located on active seismic fault lines and an earthquake is always at the door especially around Istanbul, a metropolis of 15 million inhabitants. Istanbul is expecting a big earthquake which is bound to happen sooner or later, a scenario predicted again ...
Iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major fault lines that cover at least 90 percent of the country. As a result, destructive earthquakes in Iran occur constantly. The deadliest quake in Iran's modern history happened in June 1990. It...
