It is found that the distribution of small earthquakes modulated by the solid tide is of obvious features with time and space before the occurrence of moderately strong earthquakes.
Possible applications of snake robots include locating survivors in collapsed buildings after earthquakes or other natural disasters.
Scientists know where these fault lines are, and have made maps of where earthquakes are most likely to happen.
"Nuclear facilities in Japan... were built to withstand earthquakes — but not an 8.9 earthquake," said James Walsh, a CNN contributor and research associate at MIT's security studies program.
The space distribution of historical and modern earthquakes in and surrounding the Weihe basin shows that three dimensional cross structures have a strong dominion on seismicity in the basin.
Japan often suffers from earthquakes.
Scientists can't predict earthquakes. But toads might be able to.
The distribution of focal depths of small earthquakes shows that focal faults of the two historical strong earthquakes should be shallow.
In the24 hours after you read this,400 to500 earthquakes will shake the earth.
As most of the people who die in earthquakes are killed by falling buildings, we need to improve the building structures so that they can withstand the power of earthquakes.
Adaptive pattern recognition has been applied to predict possible location of earthquakes and their magnitude in the Beijing-Tianjin area and its adjacent regions.
In the past century, there were about 40 earthquakes measuring 7 or above on the Richter scale, among which 9 took place in China and cost nearly 600, 000 lives, 53% of the world's total.
Japan is subject to earthquakes.
We're quite susceptible to earthquakes. We've just had wildfires.
The paper discusses the problems on geological disasters except earthquakes in the Hualian-Taidong Region.
Again, Ananda, when a Tathagata founds the sublime kingdom of righteousness, then this earthquakes and trembles and is shaken violently.
The slip distributions of 29 shallow earthquakes were selected to characterize a shallow earthquake asperity model for predicting near field strong ground motion.
But smaller earthquakes can be deadly if they strike close to cities, like the magnitude 6.7 quake that hit Northridge, California, 20 years ago. It killed more than 50 people.
The destructive earthquakes mentioned in this Law refer to earthquakes that cause casualties and property losses.
strong earthquakes correlate closely with lunar phases in North China and its seismic belts.
With his own interests at heart, your correspondent has been keen to help researchers gather information about such possible earthquakes.
The results appeared that the ratio of modulation showed anomalous changes before some large earthquakes, which indicated that solid tide and tide-generating force have modulating and trigger actions.
These earthquakes measured about 8.5 on the Richter Scale.
A couple months ago we reported on seemingly random earthquakes happening around Azeroth. These earthquakes, it was reckoned, are part of the long build up to the Cataclysm world event.
But earthquakes, undersea landslides and explosions can generate tsunamis in all of the world's oceans, inland seas and large bodies of water.
What has made the recent earthquakes newsworthy is that the earthquakes have hit near populated areas, says Caruso.
The threat of earthquakes are not new to the area - the US Geological Survey reported that the Japan trench has had nine earthquakes of 7 magnitude or greater since 1973.
The relation between the signal inducing earthquakes and succeeding strong earthquakes is studied.
Over the past century, seismologists have invested a vast amount of money and effort in trying to predict earthquakes-without a single unequivocal success.
"We call them great earthquakes. Everybody else calls them horrible," said USGS geophysicist Ken Hudnut.
It provides fine foundational ata for the study of focal fault of historical strong earthquakes with the group feature of present small earthquakes.
"Chaos, "fury", "The embodiment of elemental rage, such as found in erupting volcanos or shattering earthquakes", "elemental fury", "catastrophe".
Volcanic eruptions are usually preceded by earthquakes.
According to the Greek philosopher Plato, Atlantis was a powerful society that disappeared under the sea in a torrent of earthquakes after it failed to take the city of Athens.
