Going up one whole number on the scale indicates the ground motion recorded by seismic equipment increased by a factor of 10. This means a magnitude 5 earthquake would result in about 10 times as much ground movement as a magnitude 4 earthquake, according to theDepartment of Geological Mining ...
The possible causes of the observed damage are addressed in detail. These earthquakes once again revealed the common deficiencies of existing reinforced concrete structures in Türkiye, such as poor material quality, poor workmanship, unsuitability of reinforcement detailing, and inadequate earthquake-...
theb-value, controls the relative rate of small and large earthquakes. Resolving spatiotemporal variations of theb-value is critical to understanding the earthquake occurrence process and improving earthquake forecasting. However,
As part of a clear ongoing effort of the earthquake engineering community to develop knowledge on the risk posed by smaller events, a global database of earthquakes with moment magnitudes in the range from 4.0 to 5.5 for which damage and/or casualties have been reported has been compiled and ...

an increase of stress or a strength decrease would drive it closer to - or maybe even trigger - an earthquake. This is usually perceived as an undesired circumstance. However, with respect to the potential damage, a time advance might not necessarily be a bad thing. Here we show that the...
earthquake in Croatia, in the active compressional margin of NW Adriatic, an area with rarely known seismic history. Recent high-quality historical and archaeological data revealed that the 1750 earthquake was associated with high (up to VIII) seismic intensities, which were assigned to local ...

The solid black triangles represent the seismic stations selected in this study. The station codes and borehole depths are listed in the bottom right corner. The white pentagram indicates the epicenter of the Tohoku-Oki Earthquake. In this study, we aim to investigate the near-surface softening ...
Earthquake - Seismology, Epicenters, Magnitude: Worldwide during the late 1950s, there were only about 700 seismographic stations, which were equipped with seismographs of various types and frequency responses. Few instruments were calibrated; actual gro
