week 2

• rapid fall in sea water level causing the ocean to recede exposing the ocean floor
• loud roaring coming from the ocean is abnormally huger wave or tsunami is approaching
• Ground shaking can cause the objects in a building to

  fall which may injure anyone nearby.
•  

  Structures built adjacent to the fault will acquire less damage compared to the

  structures built across the fault.
• When the ground acts as a quicksand, the foundation and support of structures weaken causing the structures to sink into the ground, overturn, or collapse.
• Tsunami can destroy houses, uproot trees,

  devastate nearby properties and drown and kill people and animals.
• Earthquake hazard map is a special type of map that shows the possible

  physical and geographical effect of an earthquake

  within a particular area or

  region. It is also known as a ground shaking hazard
• ground shaking is caused by the release of stored energy in the lithosphee that was releae during an earthquake
• strength measures in terms of velocity, acceleration, frequency and duration
• by evaluating various geographical map information, we can create a grounds shakings susceptibility map that can tell us the most at risk area without knowing
