According to the USGS, "ShakeMaps provide near-real-time maps of ground motion and shaking intensity following significant earthquakes. These maps are used by federal, state, and local organizations, both public and private, for post-earthquake response and recovery, public and scientific information, as well as for preparedness exercises and ...
Nearly 75% of the country is at risk for a potentially damaging earthquake in the next 100 years, according to a recently updated map from the U.S. Geological Survey. The map is the first to ...
Where an earthquake is not recorded on seismographs an isoseismal map showing the intensities felt at different areas can be used to estimate the location and magnitude of the quake. [1] Such maps are also useful for estimating the shaking intensity, and thereby the likely level of damage, to be expected from a future earthquake of similar ...
A major earthquake measuring 7.4 hit Taiwan early Wednesday, killing 9 and injuring at least 1,000. A 7.4 earthquake is exponentially more destructive than the 4.8 quake that struck central New ...
The EarthScope Voyager, Jr. allowed students to explore and visualize the various types of data that were collected. In this interactive map, the user could add various types of base maps, features, and plate velocities. Educators could access to real time GPS data of plate movement and influences through the UNAVCO website.
Nearly 75% of the U.S., including Alaska and Hawaii, could experience a damaging earthquake sometime within the next century, USGS study finds.
Map showing the amount of advance warning time that might be available from ShakeAlert for several plausible future earthquake scenarios. [1]Initially the system has been developed to monitor and alert the West Coast of the United States, an area with significant seismic risk due to the San Andreas fault zone and the Cascadia subduction zone.
Thurston's earthquake theorem states that for any two points x, y of a Teichmüller space there is a unique left earthquake from x to y.It was proved by William Thurston in a course in Princeton in 1976–1977, but at the time he did not publish it, and the first published statement and proof was given by Kerckhoff (1983), who used it to solve the Nielsen realization problem.
