2-magnitude (震级) earthquake, 1 is vital that lines of communication remain open, and the temporary post stations in Jishishan county, the epicenter (震中) of the earthquake that struck on Dec 18, have played 2 crucial role in ensuring packages get in and out. ...
据美国地质调查局称,当地时间周一凌晨4点17分,土耳其东南部靠近叙利亚边境的地方发生了高级地震。 The epicenter of the earthquake was 11.1 miles (17.9 km) deep under the Turkish city of Nurdağı in the Gaziantep province near the junction of the Anatolia, Arabia and Africa tectonic plates, accor...
As well established, the seismic epicenter rarely coincides with the area of larger shaking. Instead, the higher macroseismic intensity corresponds to the area of larger vertical displacement (either downward or upward), besides local site amplification effects. Outside this area, the vertical ...

Usually, an earthquake is strong enough to cause damage only near its epicenter. However, epicenters at the bottom of the ocean create huge sea waves as tall as 15 meters. These waves cross the ocean in several hours. Rushing toward land, they destroy small islands and ships in their path...
Primary waves travel faster than Secondary waves and are therefore the first ones to arrive at any point distant from the epicenter of the earthquake. This difference in travel speed allows seismologists to determine the location of an underground earthquake. P waves are longitudinal wave*s in ...
