In January, the USGS estimated that nearly 75% of the U.S. could experience a damaging earthquake in the next century. The prediction is based on research done by dozens of scientists and engineers using seismic studies, historical geological data and new information to identify nearly 500 addit...
in its most generic sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event—whether a natural phenomenon or an event caused by humans—that generates seismic waves. earthquakes are caused mostly by rupture(破裂, 裂开) of geological faults(断层), but also by volcanic activity, landslide...
What-is-a-natural-disasterWhat is a natural disaster? A natural disaster is an event with a natural, as opposed to human, cause that results in large-scale loss of life or damage to property. It could be related to weather, geology, biology or even factors outside the Earth. Examples ...
as color, height of a digital innovation model, and several variables is attached to every grid cell. Examples include thematic maps, digital elevation model/ digital surface model (DEM/DSM), remote sensing (RS) images, photogrammetric photos, scanned maps, geophysical images, and geological maps...
Large-scale geological or meteorological phenomena that have the potential to cause loss of life or property are considered natural disasters. Studying past natural disasters is the best technique to predict when future ones will happen. This provides critical data to scientists about the events surrou...
Humans are a rather interesting development of the short lived primates over a few million years of Earth’;’s 4.5 Billion years, evolved by a geological tectonic event 3 Million years before present, (3Ma BP), the closing of the gap between NOrt and South America that ended the connection...

Is earthquake insurance worth it? Not everyone needs earthquake insurance. In some areas of the U.S., the risk of an earthquake or volcanic event is almost nonexistent. Paying even a low annual premium, when compared to the limitations of your coverage and the significant deductible, may not...
Since each represents a different source of the tsunami, it is desirable to simulate the tsunami by considering the timing of each source. According to the Earthquake Catalog of the United States Geological Survey (USGS)1, the peak moment rate is reached approximately 30 s after an earthquake ...
