2. Earthquake prediction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_prediction

   Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits, [1] [a] and particularly "the determination of parameters for the next strong earthquake to occur in a region". [2] Earthquake prediction is sometimes distinguished from ...

3. Earthquake engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_engineering

   Seismic performance assessment or seismic structural analysis is a powerful tool of earthquake engineering which utilizes detailed modelling of the structure together with methods of structural analysis to gain a better understanding of seismic performance of building and non-building structures. The technique as a formal concept is a ...

4. Seismic risk - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_risk

   Seismic risk. Seismic risk or earthquake risk is the potential impact on the built environment and on people's well-being due to future earthquakes. [ 1] Seismic risk has been defined, for most management purposes, as the potential economic, social and environmental consequences of hazardous events that may occur in a specified period of time ...

5. Earthquake forecasting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_forecasting

   Earthquake forecasting is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the probabilistic assessment of general earthquake seismic hazard, including the frequency and magnitude of damaging earthquakes in a given area over years or decades. [1] While forecasting is usually considered to be a type of prediction, earthquake forecasting is ...

6. Induced seismicity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_seismicity

   Induced seismicity can also be caused by the injection of carbon dioxide as the storage step of carbon capture and storage, which aims to sequester carbon dioxide captured from fossil fuel production or other sources in Earth's crust as a means of climate change mitigation. This effect has been observed in Oklahoma and Saskatchewan. [12]

7. Volcano tectonic earthquake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_tectonic_earthquake

   v. t. e. A volcano tectonic earthquake or volcano earthquake is caused by the movement of magma beneath the surface of the Earth. [1] The movement results in pressure changes where the rock around the magma has a change in stress. At some point, this stress can cause the rock to break or move. This seismic activity is used by scientists to ...
