Every country in the world has experience at least 1 earthquake.
The second world war has been terribly devastating. The devastating hurricane caused serious damages in that city.
First world countries or regions that are earthquake prone tend to have very strict building regulations so that earthquake resistant designs and construction techniques are employed in the design and construction of buildings and other infrastructure. These regulations are also strictly enforced. Countries where earthquake are rare are unlikely to require the results of seismic activity to be considered in the design and construction process (except in the most sensitive of buildings e.g. nuclear reactors) as this is more expensive and is considered to not be a significant enough risk to warrant the additional expense. As such in the unlikely event that a large earthquake did occur in the country where they were rare, it would do significantly more damage as the structures were not designed to withstand earthquakes. Also earthquake prone regions will have an emergency response prepared in the event of a major earthquake that will be well practised. The emergency response in a country with low earthquake risk will be less well prepared as they will concentrate their training on dealing with other more likely scenarios.
The poorest countries currently are Haiti, due to the earthquake, Somalia, at the horn of Africa. And Last but not least Ethiopia. And the richest country in the world is actually the smallest, Luxembourg
The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, is considered one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. It had a magnitude of 9.0 and triggered a devastating tsunami, causing widespread destruction and loss of life.
Japan experiences more earthquakes per year per km2 than any other country.
No. It is impossible for an earthquake to blow up the world...
Largest earthquake in last 6 months was the magnitude 8.6 earthquake off the west coast of northern Sumatra on April 11, 2012. There was recently a magnitude 6.4 earthquake in Northwestern Iran on August 11, 2012 followed by a series of aftershocks.
The Great Hanshin earthquake, also known as the Kobe earthquake, struck Japan on January 17, 1995. It had a magnitude of 6.9 and caused widespread destruction in the city of Kobe and surrounding areas. The earthquake resulted in over 6,000 deaths and left thousands more injured and displaced.
