1.Different views toward hazards
Different people have different views towards hazards,some may think there're hazards everywhere and it's worthless for them to move around.
2.Attractions of living in a place
For example,Japan is a wealthy country.Good jobs can be found there.Economic interests is one of the consideration for people when choosing places to live.
3.Benefits of earth movement
Volcanic ash makes soil rich and farmland fertile.Valuable minerals such as diamond and gold can be found in volcanic regions.Steams and heat produced there can be geothermal power,a rich source of renewable energy.Volcanic eruption also create beautiful relief feature and attract tourists.
4.Limited choice
There's no place on earth completely free from hazards.As the world population's increasing,places to live are more and more limited.Within Japan,Japanese cannot move to a safer place.Also moving out means great change,some people are used to their country and are not willing to change.Family tie is a reason too.The person may own his family and friends all living in the country,in order to keep in clos relationship,he may not choose to move out.
5. There are lots of divocies who live in that area so..........................................
6. Roger Musson has a funny beard
7. Lots of play parks so lots of fun for all the kids unless the earthquake erupts.........
Areas prone to earthquakes should be identified so that people can prepare for them. Most notably, bridges and public buildings should be built to withstand earthquakes.
Predicting earthquakes can help save lives by providing advance warning to people in affected areas. It can also help with disaster preparedness and emergency response planning. Furthermore, understanding how and when earthquakes occur can lead to advancements in seismology and earthquake engineering.
Earthquakes because they have no warning, and effect much larger ares of land.Volcanoes aren't the answer because you can get out of the waymuch faster and most of the time you will have a warning (sign) before it actually happens.---- Date: March, 20, 2013 ----
to alert the people who live in the particular place specially the people who are in the epicenter
Any part of a continent could be affected, although plate margins are affected more than other areas. Ground shifting effects diminish from the epicenter, much like sound waves diminish over distance.
Hawaii
How were people who lived on farms or in a rural areas affected by the gold rush
i think it is partially because of the human nature to not want to move once we have established a stable home. plus most people do not want to leave behind the memories.

Japan. It has a lot of earthquakes, and is one of the most affected areas in the world. Because of their technology level (compared to countries like Indonesia and Fiji), Japan is the country with the most earthquakes reported each year. Though, that doesn't mean it's the country with the most earthquakes. But it certainly has more earthquakes than California.

Moment Magnitude Scale. Large earthquakes are not measured very well by the Richter scale, especially if the seimometers used are very far away from anearthquakeepicenter. The moment magnitude scale is now most commonly usedfor medium to large earthquakes.
