Basic Seismology: Some Theory and Observations
earthquake.usgs.govEarthquake Location Earthquakes are defined by their origin time and hypocenter (location of first energy release). Inverting travel-time data for these parameters is one of the oldest challenges in seismology. Travel-time is a nonlinear function of earthquake location. Common approaches: 1) Iterative (linearized) inversion methods

EARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE, INTENSITY, ENERGY, POWER …
escweb.wr.usgs.govEARTHQUAKE MAGNITUDE Magnitude is one of the basic and important parameters of an earthquake. It defines the size of an earthquake. The beginners of seismology are, in general, confused about different scales of magnitude, and sometimes they mix-up earthquake intensity with its magnitude. Journalists often report the magnitude

Earthquake Hazards in India and Mitigation Methods
www.caneus.org20 Earthquake Hazards in India India has a long history of earthquake occurrences. About 65% of the total area of the country is vulnerable to seismic damage of buildings in varying degrees. Most vulnerable areas - the Himalayan and sub-Himalayan regions, Kutch and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Seismic regions: 1. Kashmir and Western Himalayas - Covers the
