2006-4 EARTHQUAKES: Living with Risk Global View – National Geographic Map Poster
Never before have so many people packed into quake-prone zones like Los Angeles, Istanbul, Tokyo, and Lima on boundaries of Earth's giant sliding tectonic plates, those cities risking death and economic disaster from earthquakes. The map-side of this study contains a world-map col;or-coded according to the risk of earthquakes. This side also contains a small study of the stresses along the San Andreas fault, plus how after a quake, stresses are re-distributed to other areas, some lessened and some increased. The reverse art-side titled :”Living with the Threat” displays the waves of destruction to a urban area, and contains a discussion of how buildings and structures can be designed using earthquake-resistant materials and techniques to lessen the damage during quakes.
