I’m just wondering why Tokyo has this vulnerability to earthquakes? What makes them susceptible to them?

What factors could influence this vulnerability?

Thanks!

Society is seeking to destroy itself and mother nature is striking back from the centuries of abuse we have given her. The authorities, governments, organizations wring their hands and say "how dreadful, we must do something about this" but then turn to solve other problems and invest monies in things such as the war on terrorism. Rather then worrying about how other people see the world and their faith, how about we leave them alone and put in a genuine effort to fix the problems plaguing our Earth! In the end the economy, the different way people view religion, right and wrong and morality; matter not at all when our world is dead, drained of basic resources such as food and oxygen and most of our population lay decimated. Harsh words, and possibly dramatic. Do you honestly believe mother nature is not beginning to strike back and fix the balance? Tsunamis, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes; the incidence of these things is on the rise- without giving mention to the corrupt state of our governments and the power plays there in, the decline of society and the undermining of humanities faith, whether that be the christian god, buddha or any other faith. Please, does anyone out there see my point of view? You, me, the next door neighbor? Give it 100 years and we’ll be dead so what do we really matter? Humanity is only one species on this Earth, and its only us that says we are the superior beings. The Earth is not for us alone, but for all life. Lets say damn the oil companies, damn the mining companies and all the other big companies that buy our governments and corrupt our civilization for their own ends because if we continue the way we are; your dollar isn’t going to get you a damn thing! Damn the economy and save the environment!

I’m aware these roles are performed by troops from many different nations, but mainly in terms of the British Army, and especially in terms of soldiers specialising in engineering roles: How are they transferred to peace keeping or disaster relief missions? Do they request it or are they selected? What roles do they usually perform during and after conflicts, earthquakes, floods etc. And finally how long can these transfers last?
i know i mentioned the UN, but i didn’t meant to limit it to that, it was more an Engineers specific question, what roles they play and whether they can volunteer

No one is responding to my previous question so I decided to ask this other question, which is almost certain to generate more attention. I think there are more earthquakes lately. Now on a similar note, here’s my previous question:

Okay, I’m a little bit of an earthquake nut, and I visit the USGS website at least once a day, to check out all the most recent seismic activity. Recently I noticed some discrepancies on their "Earthquake Facts and Statistics" page, here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/e…

Under the 2010 column, about a week ago I think it was, the numbers had been changed. Under the 8.0+ column, it showed 2 instead of just 1. That’s what caught my attention. I knew there had only been the 8.8 in Chile this year, no others. I checked the big list for the year just to be sure, and there was just that one. Then I noticed all the other numbers under the 2010 column were different too. It was really strange. By the next day it had been fixed, but then a couple days later it was back to those same bogus numbers again (then fixed again the next day).

Has anyone else ever noticed this happening, or perhaps have any explanation for how this happened?
43 minutes ago – 4 days left to answer.

One of my dreams if to immgrate from the UK to the USA and I either want to live in LA or NY, LA more. But I was just wondering if the tectonics activity, such as earthquakes, really effect your life and how? What changes do you need to make or things you need to do due to it? Thanks.

allah just earthquaked Indonesia again knocking down many buildings, including mosques. He keeps on terrorizing the most populous Islamic country in the world. Seriously, I have never seen a country so frequently rocked by earthquakes as Islamic Indonesia. It’s incredible.

Here’s some pictures of allah-earthquaked-mosques. Guess allah doesnt care much for mosques.

PS – Go ahead, be incredibly stupid (islamic) and deny allah earthquakes mosques. Go ahead, I expect nothing less than total delusion from muslims. Complete dishonesty is what Islam is all about.
SATARA: allah is angry at little kids? He hated everyone in the community? How is that even possible? He either is mad at them all or is punishing the innocent unjustly. Which is it?
THINK TANKED: I asked about why allah earthquakes mosques, not why he creates/allows so much death and pain. In other words, he doesnt have to earthquake the mosque, right? He’s behind everything and nothing happens without his consent. So why does he earthquake mosques? He doesnt have to and yet he does.
Man of all Madness: WW1 and 2? What are you talking about? I am asking why he continues to earthquakes mosques. No one can deny he is picking on the most populous islamic country in the world. He is rocking them every 6 months or so now for the past 5 years straight! Come on! Who doesnt know this?
THINK TANKED 2: What? So allah only targets people for destruction who live in faultline / earthquake prone areas? Thats crazy!!! Seismologists can show you areas that have high likelyhood of earthquakes and those that have almost none.

Some areas are safer to live than others. If you live away from the coastline in an area that has no real threat of earthquake, your pretty safe from allah’s little temper tantrums. Guess you didnt think this through.
NINJA: You never answered the question. I asked why allah earthquakes so many mosques. Indonesia was a side note. Muslims are always quick to find allahs hand in every meaningless coincidence and you will not swear to allah otherwise.

Indonesia is the most populous islamic country in the world and I am suppose to ignore this coincidence? Allah blasts them constantly. Do you even believe in allah? You refer to nature as if its detached from allah. Of course it is, and allah is a fiction but YOU are the muslim, not me. If you really believe in this ridiculous religion, why do you pretend like allah isnt in control? If he is in control, why does he earthquake sooo many mosques and blast Indonesia mercilessly. I loathe Islam and even I feel sorry for them.
THINK TANK 2: I presume no such thing…where do you get that? YOU presume allah controls everything…do you not? So, if allah controls everything, why does he blast the most populous islamic country in the world over and over and over. He could blast them in equal proportions to the rest of the earthquake prone areas of the globe but he choses to blast this islamic country that has only existed for a short time
almost the moment it became islamic.

You gotta admitt, mosques arent very special to allah cause he has no problem knocking them down like everything else.
SHE SAID: We agree. Muslims arent special to allah at all. They are DEFINETLY NOT immune. Agreed.

Of course its even worse than indifference isnt it? If allah exists, and everything is controlled by allah, then given those premises we can make a very strong case that allah hates muslims more than anyone else. Not only are muslims and mosques not immune, but they are more often targeted. Indonesia is constantly blasted. Theres no other country that compares. Ohhh…and guess what…ITS THE MOST POPULOUS ISLAMIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
SHE SAID 2: Dishonesty is the hallmark of being islamic. Did you not paste a link of an allah-spared mosque? You contradict yourself. Either allah does show favor or he doesnt. You take both sides. I cant tell if you are of the brainless dim-wits that see allahs hand in everything or one of the cowardly agnosticish muslims who knows that there is absolutely no trace of an allah in nature but is to afraid to get off the religious Kool-Aid. Which is it? Is there a disorder here I need to know about?

A 5.2 earthquake hit in a neighboring state one night with aftershocks felt in Indiana where I live.while I was sleeping it jarred me out of bed and I now wakeup occasionally in the middle of the night feeling what can best described as "phantom earthquakes." I checked the Earthquake website [http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/] and there is nothing that validates my slumberous tremors. (SIDENOTE: Although I just updated 10 minutes later and surprisingly there was a 6.4 in Russia– but I find that somewhat besides the point.)

I don’t necessarily have a fear of earthquakes. Ever since the one we had felt it has caused me to wake up several times in the middle of the night feeling like there was a trembling occurring, none of which have been confirmed on the above website.

I have Googled my heart’s desire to find out if this is a legit thing I’m experiencing…phantom quakes. Any help and serious answerers would be helpful! Thanks.

i know southern cali haas been having a lot of earthquakes(5.4 yesterday+ tons of aftershocks or something) not to mention mexicali earthquake and the easter earthquake were pretty large i read.
where do u think the next one will be?
if u think south cali, where abouts? theres a lot of south cali
well, not saying i believe in earthquake prediction, but u got to have some common sense. just a guess maybe

I heard about this but I’m not sure how they have an impact on the Earth’s axial rotation. They said these earthquakes cause the Earth to speed up in axial rotation and there was one today; I hope to God and in my heart, no innocent people were caught in it. That would be bad. Would we have to skip a second or make them internally shorter on the other hand?

Ever since the Easter earthquake, I have been really tense and paranoid. I know the "big one" is bound to happen sometime….. and I also know that you can’t predict earthquakes… but I’m sure scientists have made estimates of when it will strike. And if it strikes LA, how badly will it affect San Diego? And will this "big one" cause a tsunami?

i dont understand. it comes up under significant earthquakes in the usgs.gov site here:

Remember when Pat Robertson claimed the Haitians made a pact with Satan, which is why God created the earthquake that destroyed the country? Why don’t Republicans take a few science classes and learn that earthquakes are caused by tectonic plates, not by some sky daddy with a beard.

I have scientific proof that 2012 is bound NOT to happen. I just want to hear your thoughts, and share mine, too. Evidence: you would be able to see Planet X coming by now in the night sky if it were that close to Earth (or if it even exists); the possibility of Planet X actually striking Earth is very slim; Polar Shifts are just a theory, and would otherwise take 5,000 years to complete; the Galactic Alignment had, supposedly, already happened or is going to happen later on, but Sag. A (center of the galaxy) would need to be thousands of light-years closer to Earth to have any effect AT ALL; human disasters are predictable, but astronomical and natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are completely unpredictable; the Mayans started all of this, and even THEY don’t think 2012 is a disaster but a celebration for a new tomorrow!

These are my accurate facts about 2012, now tell me what you think!

soooooooooooo…. they said we have nothing to worry about… with all the hype of the obvious "2012" thing, but more specifically, the fact that the earth is going through a lot more the past few years is pretty bad.

tell me this doesn’t add up to something?

another thing – the chile earthquake shifted the earth’s axis, and our days are shorter by a fraction of a second, i know not to worry about a fraction of a second, but eventually it adds up… 1/50th of a second is a whole second in just 50 days, a minute in a couple years, and will eventually add up to an hour to a whole day to a couple days, to a week, to a month, to a couple months to half a year, to a whole year (that’s giving the half a second or whatever it is, hundreds of years to take away a whole years worth of time)… i plan on living a long healthy life, so why would i want a day or two taken out of my routine?

no, i’m not being paranoid… frankly, i don’t give a crap. i just wanted to post a question to make people think. SO please don’t put up "omg you’re so dumb" "wow you need to kill yourself" "wtf you believe everything you read" answers.

ten points will go to the person who puts the most thought into their answer… thus, you won’t get 10 points by posting "posting for points" because that’s not going to get you anywhere.
i applaud you dylan, although, you’re a dick… so i have to give you a thumbs down.
gexi… i’ll be with you in hell because i don’t believe in it either LOL and i don’t think the world is gonna end ^^ i’m not into following the rest of the obvious cattle into the cage so we can be slaughtered. but, i don’t believe nothing is going to happen.. i’d rather be undecided because that way whatever happens happens and i can accept it either way.

Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes. Can they ever damage to a nuclear power plant, causing a radiation leak, or worse? Maybe this needs to be asked by our government, in light of the oil leak in the gulf.. We need to investigate and prepare for ANY potential disaster.
