Enquiry 3 Welcome to Quake City, New Zealand

... The purpose of this enquiry is to examine how Christchurch, New Zealand has been affected by a devastating series of earthquakes in 2010 and 2011. The enquiry allows pupils to investigate the tectonic setting of New Zealand, as well as the specific detail of the earthquakes, prior to contributing to ...

... Tsunamis are, therefore, shallow-water waves (even in the open ocean)! Though tsunamis have very long wavelengths, their amplitude in the open ocean is often relatively small - commonly only a meter or two - and this amplitude is distributed over the very long wavelength so that tsunamis are quite i ...

Earthquake casualty estimation



Recent advances are improving the speed and accuracy of loss estimates immediately after earthquakes (within less than an hour) so that injured people may be rescued more efficiently. After major and large earthquakes, rescue agencies and civil defense managers rapidly need quantitative estimates of the extent of the potential disaster, at a time when information from the affected area may not yet have reached the outside world. For the injured below the rubble every minute counts.To rapidly provide estimates of the extent of an earthquake disaster is much less of a problem in industrialized than in developing countries. This article focuses on how one can estimate earthquake losses in developing countries in real time.
