PREDICTION OF EARTHQUAKES
H.L. Dunegan, May, 1996
http://www.deci.com/poe.htm

Extractions: INTRODUCTION Earthquakes account for more loss of life and property than any other natural phenomena. In spite of this fact, and the fact that we know why and how earthquakes occur, there is a great deal of pessimism from both the scientific community and Government agencies concerning one's ability to accurately predict earthquakes. This pessimism is evidenced by the large amount of funds expended in earthquake preparedness programs compared to the funds available for research concerning earthquake prediction. The primary reason for the lack of an earthquake prediction model is the inability of low frequency surface mounted seismic instrumentation to detect the higher frequencies associated with small fractures that occur prior to a large movement of a fault. The high frequencies associated with these small events are attenuated by the upper mantel and never make it to the surface. Once the higher frequency events due to small fractures occurring from a fault are detected, it is proposed that the data be handled in a fashion similar to that used for acoustic emission data from man made structures. Therefore some discussion of the procedures used for handling acoustic emission data will be presented, and analogies drawn to their use for earthquake prediction.

Search You are here: Home Earthquake Hazards Earthquakes in Alaska Earthquakes in Alaska Earthquake risk is high in much of the southern half of Alaska, but it is not the same everywhere. This map shows the overall geologic setting in Alaska that produces earthquakes. The Pacific plate (darker blue) is sliding northwestward past southeastern Alaska and then dives beneath the North American plate (light blue, green, and brown) in southern Alaska, the Alaska Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands. Most earthquakes are produced where these two plates come into contact and slide past each other. Major earthquakes also occur throughout much of interior Alaska as a result of collision of a piece of crust with the southern margin. (Click on map for a larger version - .pdf file, 312K.

Extractions: Latest Quake Info General Quake Info Earthquake Research Special Features ... Additional Resources In the winter of 1811-12, the central Mississippi Valley was struck by three of the most powerful earthquakes in U.S. history. Even today, this region has more earthquakes than any other part of the United States east of the Rocky Mountains. Government agencies, universities, and private organizations are working to increase awareness of the earthquake threat and to reduce loss of life and property in future shocks. The 400 terrified residents in the town of New Madrid (Missouri) were abruptly awakened by violent shaking and a tremendous roar. It was December 16, 1811, and a powerful earthquake had just struck. This was the first of three magnitude-8 earthquakes and thousands of aftershocks to rock the region that winter. Photo Not Available (Click on image for a full size version - 184K) Severe shaking accompanied the powerful New Madrid earthquakes that struck during the winter of 1811-1812. By winter's end, few houses within 250 miles of the Mississippi River town of New Madrid (Missouri) remained undamaged.

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Story Tools MANILA, Philippines (AP) Two strong earthquakes struck the central Philippines just hours apart, damaging houses and knocking out power. There were no immediate reports of casualties, officials said Sunday. The second, stronger Philippine temblor, with a magnitude of 6.2, struck at 7:01 p.m. Saturday and was set off by movement in the Philippine Fault, a major fault line running from the country's mountainous north to the south, the Philippine Institute of Vulcanology and Seismology said. It was strong to enough to topple old buildings but hit sparsely populated rural areas, said government seismologist Ishmael Narag. The first quake, with a magnitude of 5.5, occurred at 1:47 p.m. Another earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.1, jolted Tokyo and surrounding areas Sunday, but there were no reports of damage or injuries. In the Philippines, damage was reported in Masbate, one of at least seven central provinces where the earthquakes were felt. Masbate lies about 230 miles southeast of Manila. The Office of Civil Defense in Manila reported that the second earthquake collapsed an empty Muslim day-care center beside a mosque in Masbate's capital city, Masbate.
