Why do many people continue to live in cities which are at risk from earthquake?

Question

need 5 detailed reasons
thanks!!

Answer 1

There are many fault lines in the U.S. and throughout the world such as the San Andreas fault and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Vibrations and motion create mechanical shock waves that increase plate tectonic activity, resulting in shifts in the continental plates, resulting in earthquakes. Sadly, most people don't know that there's plenty of free real estate in our own stellar backyard.

In our Milky Way Galaxy there are 235 planetary bodies, of which 169 moons are in our Solar System. These 169 moons are the well documented satellite moons of the 9 planets. Jupiter alone has 63 moons. The challenge lies in how we can build atmospheres on them to support human life and all other living things. Also, we have to weed out the ones that are inhospitable.

Venus=0, Earth=1, Mars=2, Jupiter=63, Saturn=60, Uranus=27, Neptune=13, Pluto=3

The trick is to categorize them into planets/moons that either spin on their axis, or don't. Then, increase the surface gravity by inserting a Superconducting Magnet into the core. The magnet would range from 2 Tesla to 15 Tesla, depending on the amount of iron/nickel that is present in the core.

Finally, to introduce atmospheric gases into the man made electromagnetic bubble.

This website gives the exact location of each of the moons of Jupiter: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/sate...

and this site tells us how to make an ATMOSPHERE on all the moons: http://www.atmospheres.5u.com/index.html...

Answer 2

About a year before Katrina I watched a TV commentator make the statement that we had two places in the United States that were extremely vulnerable to hurricanes; New Orleans and New York City, due to their vulnerability. New Orleans is actually BELOW sea level, while the concentration of people in NYC would make evacuation impossible. So when Katrina hit New Orleans and caused all the destruction and havoc that it did, it was obvious that having a city that size below sea level was not in the best interests of all concerned. It took billions of dollars to reconstruct that city and I, for one, seriously questions whether rebuilding was wise. So now, New Orleans is about to be hit again, this time by an even more powerful hurricane than Katrina. It will be interesting to see whether common sense will prevail following this one.

Answer 3

There is no place in the world that is entirely free from earthquakes. We must be prepared to live with the disasters. During my visit to U.K in the year 2002 I demonstrated the usage of my earthquake alarm in London T.V. When I approached the leads university to study the usage of my quake alarm. They refused to do it. The two reasons given by them are their country is not prone to earthquake and me the person developed this equipment is not a seismologist. After few months U.K has also experienced earthquake. By the use of my Earth quake alarm I issued the warning to our local T.V.stations 2 hours before Tsunami struck our Indian coast. But they ignored my warning at last our country alone lost the life of 10,000 innocents.

Answer 4

Because is their City (1) and is so hard in other city, (2), a lot of these people desen't have much money to do a Transfer (3), and a lot of the people had learned to live togheter this dangeorus (4), the own City, is always the BEST City (5) !

Answer 5

1) thats where they have always lived 2) where else could you move that was any better for jobs etc friends etc 3)why go somewhere where they have tidal waves all the time or tornadoes or hurricanes 4) with the house market getting worse could you now get a good price for your home? 5)if you have pets do you want to leave them if you went into an apt or condo because they don't take pets. I will add a sixth, I am too old to start learning to drive somewhere where I'm not familiar and last but not least, when I die I want to be where all my relatives and friends are and not die where no one knows me or cares about me.

Answer 6

Some don't have the money to move
The place/city may hold dear memories
It's still home to them no matter what
It may be hard to find another job in a different city
Some are there to study the earthquakes xD [ran out of reasons]

Answer 7

I only have one...I was born and lived all of my childhood in southern California, the real dangers of earthquakes is the failure of structures and support services.
The earthquakes themselves, aren't that bad.

Answer 8

Every city has a risk factor.

Answer 9

price might be much lower in that area than it would be for the same house in a different area.

Because it's home and there's no place like home.
