What two factors do geologists consider when determining earthquake risk for a region?
By locating where faults are active and where past earthquake have occurred.
Why would securing gas appliances help make your home earthquake-safe?
to reduce the risk of fires
A community that is likely to incur a great deal of damage during an earthquake is reffered to as having a high seismic?
Risk
Why is earthquake risk greater on filled land with soft ground than so solid bedrock?
Soft sediment tends to make shaking in an earthquake worse. It is rather like shaking a bowl of jello.
What are the best methods of preventing the physical cost of an earthquake?
Loss of lives can be prevented with evacuation plans. This would allow the people to be able to react when an earthquake strikes. Also, with the use of technology, sensors can be used to tell when an earthquake will happen, giving the people enough time to react. To minimize the number of infrastructures destroyed, strengthening of pillars and reinforcing of walls can be used, although it will not be as effective as building quake resistant infrastructures. The government can also analyse the risk of earthquake and move the population away from those high risk zones.
Where is the best place to live without earthquakes?
Some areas with lower earthquake risk include the Midwest region of the United States (such as parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa), as well as certain areas in the eastern United States like the Appalachian region. Countries with low to no earthquake risk include places like Antartica, Australia, and most of Africa.

Where plates meet
What is the worst earthquake that has ever happened in Australia?
At 10:27am on 28 December 1989, Newcastle was partially devastated by a moderate earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter Scale.. Newcastle was the first 'lethal' earthquake in Australia claiming 13 lives and injuring 150 others. It caused extensive damage to about 35,000 homes and 3,000 buildings with 70,000 buildings in the regions suffering some form of damage. Insured losses reached $1,124 million while the estimated total damage to Newcastle was $4,480 million. Newcastle showed that a lethal earthquake can occur in parts of Australia considered to be of low seismic risk. It has resulted in improved building codes and practices, and closer monitoring of seismic activity. Since 1994 all buildings in Australia (including homes) are now required to be constructed to resist earthquakes. Hope this helps. :)
Would California and Nevada or Maine be more likely to have a risk of an earthquake?
yes because there in earthquake perimeter
Where in the US is the earthquake risk the highest?
California on the west coast
What factors help geologist determine earthquake risk for region?
The factors that help geologists determine for earthquake risk for religion are the movement of seismic waves along faults and friction.Hope this helped!

Is there potential for an enhanced slight risk 30 percent day of severe thunder storms on Tuesday October 14Th for western NC?
It is too early to tell but probably not likely. An an enhanced slight risk area is most likely to be issued near the center of the slight risk area. But again, there is always a significant amount of uncertainty in day 3 outlooks.
What are the risks of cystometry?
There is a slight risk of infection due to tearing of the urethral lining.
What is the earthquake risk in the state of California?
all th big buildings there
Has Sydney ever had an earthquake?
Yes, Sydney has experienced earthquakes in the past. While they are not as common as in other areas of Australia, there have been recorded seismic events in and around the city. These earthquakes are typically of low magnitude and pose a minimal risk to the population.
