Anything divided by zero is undefined. A sneeze is infinitely more powerful than "no earthquake at all."

What are the solutions for earthquake?

There is none and scientests cannot predict earthquakes yet or maybe never but they can measure them after one has happened. But so far there is no solution. But it is possiable to make your house safer from earthquakes.


Are there several reliable methods of short-range earthquake predictions?

Traditional short-range earthquake predictions are challenging due to the unpredictable nature of earthquakes. While there are some methods being developed, such as monitoring foreshocks and changes in groundwater levels, none have proven to be consistently reliable for short-range predictions. It is more common to focus on early warning systems that can provide seconds to minutes of advance notice once an earthquake has already begun.


How many shells have Hydrogen?

Hydrogen has one shell.


A region where earthquakes are expected but none has occurred for a long time?

A region where earthquakes are expected but has not experienced any seismic activity for a significant period of time is known as a seismic gap. Seismic gaps are areas along a fault line that have not ruptured recently, increasing the likelihood of a major earthquake in the future due to accumulating stress. Monitoring these zones is crucial for earthquake forecasting and preparedness.


Is there a link between the size of an earth-quake and death toll?

Yes. The bigger the earthquake, the greater the number of deaths and injuries. However, the place where the earthquake occurs, the time of day, the proximity of the nearest city, and the building standards are more important factors. In California or in Japan, where the building standards are fairly stringent, even a big earthquake won't kill a great number of people. However, recent earthquakes in China and in Iran have caused much larger casualty numbers. Why the difference? In Iran, the quake was close to the city, the city was quite ancient, and the buildings were made of un-reinforced brick and stone. The biggest factor is, does the quake cause buildings to collapse? Very few people are killed by the earth shaking; people are killed and injured because the buildings fall down and crush people. In Japan many years ago, an earthquake caused a large building to TIP OVER and fall down; but because the building didn't collapse, the number of deaths was fairly small. The biggest earthquake ever to hit the U.S. (that we know of) occurred in New Madrid, Missouri in 1812. Because none of the cities in the Midwest have building standards as strict as California's, another similar earthquake is likely to kill many more people than would be killed by a similar quake in Tokyo or in Los Angeles.
