5.7 Notes What are Earthquakes? Objective: Explain what causes
... Movements of the crust that you may or may not feel are called tremors. Sudden, strong, shaking movements can cause a lot of damage are called earthquakes. The focus is the point beneath Earth’s surface where an earthquake starts. The epicenter is the place on Earth’s surface that is directly above ...

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.
