Why do richer countries cope better with earthquakes?

Richer countries generally cope better with earthquakes due to having stronger infrastructure, better construction standards, and more resources for preparedness and response activities. They can invest in earthquake-resistant buildings, early warning systems, and emergency response teams, which help minimize the impact of earthquakes on people and property. Additionally, wealthier countries often have greater access to technology and information that can help them predict and prepare for earthquakes more effectively.

The convergence hypothesis helps explain why?

economic growth rates tend to converge over time among different countries or regions. This phenomenon is based on the idea that poorer countries with lower initial levels of capital, technology, and productivity can grow faster than richer countries as they catch up.olicies can help promote convergence by facilitating the transfer of knowledge and technology from richer to poorer countries, fostering investment in human capital and infrastructure, and supporting market reforms that enhance productivity and competitiveness.


Why is it important to keep track of earthquakes that cannot be felt by humans but show up on the Richter Scale?

This is because once the Richter Scale detects something, it can be used to help predict the future onto upcoming underground activity. Having the Richer Scale to detect activity just for humans isn't the only reason why scientists still use it today.


Can England have earthquakes?

No England does not suffer from Major Earthquakes. That is because Britain sits on a minor fault line which means if an Earthquake does happen then it wouldn't be on the richer scale, whereas parts of the USA sits on Major Fault lines for example California, they are said to suffer from an earthquake everyday some people feel some people dont. There has been recent earthquakes in the North East of England the first on 21st December 2010 hitting North Yorkshire, Ripon, Teeside and Tyneside, which was measured on the 4.6 scale. The Second happened on the 3rd January 2011 which hit the same area's but this time was only measured on the 3.8 Scale. If this had happened in America you would be looking at it being measured at least into your 6.0 scales.
