This is the cause for frequent earthquakes and the presence of many volcanoes and hot springs across Japan. If earthquakes occur below or close to the ocean, they may trigger tidal waves (tsunami). Historic earthquakes Many parts of the country have experienced devastating earthquakes and tidal waves in the past. The worst earthquake in Japanese history hit the Kanto plain around Tokyo in the year 1923, when over 100,000 people died in the

Coseismic displacements at a dozen historical monuments of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India have been interpreted in terms of subsurface rupture geometry and slip (SriDevi et al, 2003 Aftershock data The Mw7.6 Bhuj earthquake that shook the Indian Province of Gujarat on the morning of January 26, 2001 (Republic Day) is one of the two most deadly earthquakes to strike India in its recorded history . One month after the earthquake official Government of India figures place the death toll at 19,727 and the number of injured at 166,000. Indications are that 600,000 people were left homeless, with 348,000 houses destroyed and an additional 844,000 damaged. The Indian State Department estimates that the earthquake affected, directly or indirectly, 15.9 million people out of a total population of 37.8 million. More than 20,000 cattle are reported killed. Government estimates place direct economic losses at $1.3 billion. Other estimates indicate losses may be as high as $5 billion. An informative assesment of damage has been assembled by the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and EERI. Some

Maine Geology - Earthquakes
earthquakes in Maine. Henry N. Berry IV Maine Geological Survey Department ofConservation. Seismic Activity. LINKS TO WEB SITES RELATED TO earthquakes.
http://www.state.me.us/doc/nrimc/pubedinf/factsht/bedrock/quake.htm

Extractions: Department of Conservation Seismic activity in Maine is typical of the Appalachian region of northeastern North America. There is a low but steady rate of earthquake occurrence. The earthquakes are presumably caused by modern stress being released occasionally along zones of weakness in the earth's crust, but a more specific cause for the earthquake activity is not known. Recorded earthquake locations and detailed seismic motion studies do not show any clear correlation with either local or regional geologic features (Ebel, 1989). No significant amount of motion has been shown for any fault since the last Ice Age, about 20,000 years ago, and geologic evidence demonstrates that many faults have been inactive since the formation of the Appalachians, over 300,000,000 years ago. None of the ancient faults in Maine have been identified as active (Anderson et al., 1989; Osberg et al., 1989). The largest earthquake recorded in Maine between 1747 and 1992 was near Eastport in 1904 with a Modified Mercalli intensity estimated at VII. The largest accurate measurement was on June 15, 1973 from an earthquake just on the Quebec side of the border from northern Oxford County, Maine, with a Richter magnitude of 4.8 (Johnston, 1995). Most Maine earthquakes are of small magnitude. Many are too small to feel. No Maine earthquake has caused significant damage. The persistent activity, however, indicates that some crustal deformation is occurring and that a larger earthquake cannot be ruled out (Ebel, 1989). Based on past earthquake data collected over a limited time span (1975-1982) from the whole of New England, and assuming that Maine is a representative part thereof, Ebel (1984) has estimated the return times for earthquakes in Maine as follows:

Find out all about earthquakes, history, where they are most likely to happen, howthey happen, and what to do about them. Welcome to All About earthquakes!
http://www.readinessinfo.com/eqindex.shtml

Extractions: Welcome to All About Earthquakes ! Earthquakes have sparked man's curiosity since ancient times. They have also disrupted lives, destroyed great monuments and cities and created great tidal waves. After a brief tour of this site, you should know all about earthquakes. You can navigate through the site by clicking on the page link to the left that interests you most. Or you can visit the entire site by clicking on the "next page" links at the bottom of each page. At the All About Earthquakes site you will learn the history of earthquakes . We will talk about some of the great disasters of history, and how men have viewed earthquakes throughout the ages. The Science of Earthquakes has had many recent advances with new theories on plate tectonics and subduction. In this section, you will find out how earthquakes work. Many places around the world are subject to earthquakes, some more so than others. We'll show you where the danger areas are. What should you do about earthquakes? Of course, there is no stopping an earthquake, but you can be prepared for the event. We will tell you what you should do to prepare for an earthquake, how to survive an earthquake and, finally, what you should do when the shaking stops. Be sure to visit our Bulletin Board with discussion about earthquakes. If you have any questions regarding the material here it can be posted there or
