Earthquake Survival,prediction and symptoms
According to china the recent earth quake has raised the death toll from more than 51,000.These kind of disasters can destroy and damaged millions of homes, Recently In china including more than 80 percent of the buildings in some remote towns were completely destroyed or damaged.
In many bigger cities, whole apartment blocks collapsed or are now too dangerous to live in because of damage and worries about aftershocks.
Symptoms
After so many scientific advancements in all areas there is still currently no scientific explanation for the symptoms some people claim to have preceding an earthquake.
Earthquakes may occur in an area before, during, and after a volcanic eruption, and are the result of active forces connected with the eruption, but are not the cause of the volcanic activity itself.
Man-induced earthquakes are often caused by such things as the deep-sea drilling that has occurred in recent years. Such activity deep into the earth can sometimes increase pressure on the plates, making a tense situation much worse.
What could be the worst dream if you just consider that you are sleeping and the bed shakes a bit at first. An item or two falls over on your bookcase. And then things start to rumble. Everything around you that had always been for your pleasure - your TV, your bookcase, everything that can be moved - is now your enemy.
Prediction
An earthquake prediction is a prediction that an earthquake in a specific magnitude range will occur in a specific region and time window.
Accrding to researcher specially equipped satellites could map minute deformations in the Earth’s crust, providing data that might possibly aid earthquake.
There are efforts to research the possibility of short term earthquake prediction on the basis of electromagnetic field variations under, on, over Earth surface and near Space.
Although there is evidence that at least some earthquakes in some tectonic regimes are predictable with useful accuracy of time and space, the reliability and reproducibility of prediction techniques have not been established and are therefore generally not accepted by seismologists. For practical purposes, seismologists bring forth seismic hazard assessment programs by estimating the probabilities that a given earthquake or suite of earthquakes will occur.
Survival kit
Is there any Survival kit to survive this!! noo all you can do is to go for best 4 pillar areas to hide underneath.You should only have to head for the doorway if you live in an old, un-reinforced adobe house.
In modern homes doorways are probably no stronger than any other parts of the house, and could have doors that will swing and injure you during a quake. You are probably safer practicing the ‘drop, cover and hold’ method under a sturdy piece of furniture.
The American Red Cross came up with the drop, cover and hold method. Drop under a sturdy desk or table, protect your eyes by pressing your face against your arm and hold on. Teach children the method as well, and practice with your family at least twice a year.
I read similar article also named ake Survival,prediction and symptoms | letmedefine, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me
