| In the past decade the Earth has been far more seismologically active in comparison with earlier times. That has become the reason for numerous shocking and dangerous happenings that has led to large disasters. I am convinced that to be able to overcome a danger you must know as much as possible about it so as to be prepared for everything. Check out some curious facts about the happening and watch the most striking video clips. |
| One of the most curios facts is that seismological activity of the Earth makes continents move, and as a result Los Angeles will meet San Francisco in several million years. The cities are approaching each other 2 inches a year. |
| In spite of numerous and the most terrifying evidence March is not considered an earthquake month. But I do not feel like believing it. Just remember terrible earthquakes in Prince William Sound or the Andrean of Island of Alaska. It is said that the latest disasters happened in February. And a devastating accident in Chile is among them (it occurred on February 27 of this year). By the way, in the result of the tremors in Chile the city of Concepción shifted by 10 feet to the west. And what is no less important, it has changed the Earth’s rotation a little bit, so the day has shortened since then. |
| While watching the videos, I am covering with goose skin. I am lucky not to like in seismologically active so I cannot even imagine what people have to go through, some of them lose the closest people, all belongings and the hope to be happy on this earth. There are over 500,000 tremors every year – some of them are devastating, others are slightly perceptible – but they are part of our nature and the planet we live on. |
