Plate tectonics (sp?) cause the west coast of North America, the east coast of Asia, the northern part of the subcontinent (known as India) and northeast part of Africa to be most vulnerable to earthquakes.

Are the regions or the countries particularly prone or vulnerable to the disaster?

What is seismoflowage?
Seismoflowage refers to the movement of soil or rock due to seismic shaking during an earthquake. This phenomenon can lead to landslides, liquefaction, and other forms of ground instability. Understanding seismoflowage is important for assessing earthquake hazards and mitigating risks in vulnerable areas.
What are the earthquake prone areas of the world?
The earthquake prone areas are those on or near fault lines or subduction zones, and those near active volcanoes. Most of the rim of the Pacific Ocean is one such area.
Why developing countries are very vulnerable to earthquake damage?
Developing countries are often more vulnerable to earthquake damage due to factors such as poor construction standards, inadequate infrastructure, insufficient resources for disaster preparedness and response, and high population density in vulnerable areas. Additionally, limited access to technology and information may hinder early warning systems and effective emergency response.
How can people living in earthquake prone areas help each other to minimise the damages caused by an earthquake?
People living in earthquake prone areas can help each other by creating neighborhood emergency plans, participating in earthquake drills, ensuring buildings meet safety standards, and helping vulnerable community members prepare. Sharing information about earthquake safety and resources, such as emergency supplies and evacuation routes, can also minimize damages caused by an earthquake.
What makes a place more vulnerable to earthquakes?
Previous earthquake occurrences, nearness to active volcanoes, and location in the area where crustal [or lithospheric or tectonic] plates meet make a place more vulnerable to earthquakes.
Where is Walmart vulnerable.?
Walmart is vulnerable in the many areas. The most notable is customer service and in-stock
Is one of the causes of earthquake damage is liqueaction?
Yes, liquefaction is a significant cause of earthquake damage. It occurs when saturated soil temporarily loses its strength and stiffness due to the shaking of an earthquake, causing it to behave like a liquid. This can lead to structural failures, ground displacement, and the sinking of buildings and infrastructure. Areas with loose, water-saturated soils are particularly vulnerable to this phenomenon.
What are the Vulnerable Areas of Floods?
low lying areas middle of mountains on slopes
Does everyone feel an earthquake?
Not everyone, no. Earthquakes happen in certain areas and only those areas will feel it. Of course it depends on how strong the earthquake is.
