NERCscience | Anatomy of an earthquake: What happens when seismic hazards meet populations? Professor Iain Stewart @NERCscience | Uploaded September 2014 | Updated October 2024, 42 minutes ago.
In this exciting educational video, Professor Iain Stewart from Plymouth University and Shadow Industries explores the anatomy of an earthquake, uncovering the science behind seismic hazards and how they can impact vulnerable populations.
As people continue to flock towards urban centres, the threat of a direct seismic strike looms large. We take a closer look at the different types of seismic waves and plate tectonics, explaining how they can cause earthquakes and the damage they can inflict.
With the help of Dr Susanne Sargeant and Dr Roger Musson from the British Geological Survey, we examine the latest research in earthquake preparedness and how mega-cities can protect themselves. Join us in this journey to understand the anatomy of an earthquake and learn how to prepare for this natural disaster.
