Earthquakes far from tectonic plate boundaries generally exploit ancient faults, but not all intraplate faults are equally active. The North American Great Plains exemplify such intraplate earthquake localization, with both natural and induced seismicity
Investigation of Human Injuries during the July 26, 2003 Northern Miyagi Earthquake with Focus on Furniture Overturning In the morning of 26 July 2003, a powerful shallow inland earthquake of Magnitude 6.4 on the JMA scale occurred in northern Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Sever......
DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14314 If the interaction between plates at their distant boundary were the only source of deviatoric stress in continental interiors, then the intraplate stress field would be broadly uniform, and all suitably oriented faults would have equal chance of experiencing an earthquake. ...
IPOS includes the Global Positioning System (GPS) and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). It can obtain geographic position, attitude, and acceleration information, correct the effects of the movement in real time, and perform accurate positioning. In 1993, Germany introduced the first commercially ...
However, each of the alternative energy systems also has risks—some far less obvious than others. For example, some of the first images of earthquake damage in Japan on March 11th were of fires and explosions occurring at LPG storage facilities at an oil refinery [2]. Moreover, it has ...
Similarly, radiologists prefer to use integrated images for diagnostic and treatment of cancer. In remote sensing, a remote location is analyzed and examined by satellite e.g., to estimate or detect damages in an area that is exposed to an earthquake. The equipment used does not provide ...
