Types of Earthquake Waves
... There are forces within the earth that are bending and straining the relatively thin crust we call home. Although scientists and engineers do not full understand these forces, we know that they cause the earth’s crust to bend until it snaps. This action is called an earthquake. Earthquakes can cause ...

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.
