| Resumo: | Of all natural hazards, earthquakes are those which historically have caused the most extensive impact and disruption in terms of damage to infrastructure, human-casualties and economic losses. They are the expression of a continuing evolution of the Earth Planet and a reshaping of the Earth’s surface. They are the most deadly of all natural disasters affecting the human environment. Every year more than one million earthquakes shake different regions of the world, some so feeling and gentle that only the most sensitive instruments can detect the motion, and others so violent that whole communities are shattered and large sections of terrain are shifted in this process that can start landslides, block rivers, cause floods, and set massive sea waves surging across the oceans. |
