that inform scientists about where earthquakes might happen. Where the edges of these giant puzzle-like pieces meet, specific boundaries form. The three boundaries — transform, convergent and divergent — define what happens on land, nature and to people during an earthquake. ...
Why do people live near volcanoes? How do floods affect the lithosphere? Why do volcanoes erupt in different ways? How does land degradation affect the lithosphere? Why do volcanoes cause lightning? Why does Japan have so many earthquakes and volcanoes?

byStanford University Credit: CC0 Public Domain In an increasingly urbanized world, population density often leads to more deaths and injuries when floods, typhoons, landslides and other disasters strike cities. But the risks to life and limb are compounded when earthquakes are the agent of destruct...
The world’s most powerful earthquakes happen in subduction zones, where one tectonic plate slides beneath the other. When these plates become stuck together, stress builds in the crust of the Earth — like a rubber band being stretched. When enough stress builds up to overcome the friction hol...
777s or the weight of the Eiffel Tower. While this is a very large lateral force, structures can be designed to resist such forces. Tall buildings are routinely designed to resist lateral loads of this magnitude that result from wind or earthquakes. However, it is a matter of how much ...
However, financial institutions lacking investment do not engage in CER investments within construction enterprises, leading to the government's failure to achieve its CER objectives. Consequently, the government transitions to negative regulation. However, once subsidies are introduced, financial institutions...
volcanic or anthropogenic processes. Further, the presented case studies concern a broad range of magnitudes, inter-event times, and observational setups. A general conclusion is that not only do (true and/or quasi) anti-repeating earthquakes exist, but they can even be found in very different...
How does the ocean affect the geosphere? How can the geosphere affect the atmosphere? How did the Haiti earthquake affect the biosphere? What impact do earthquakes have on the way we live our daily lives? How does the cryosphere affect the geosphere?
We evaluate the change in international reserves in the aftermath of significant external shocks by using a quasi-experimental setup and focusing on earthquakes. Our objective is to understand the macroeconomic dynamics of quake-affected countries ex-post, and their ex-ante disaster risk mitigation ...
