• Question:-Peru had an earthquake on August 16th,would that cause the northern fault lines in California to rupture?
  I'm no scientist, but because Peru had an earthquake, would that put more pressure on the fault lines north, up the coast and eventually cause major earthquakes on the coast of California? Didn't California have a small earthquake just recently and wasn't there predictions of a major earthquake on the San Andreas Fault line made on CNN just a few days ago? Shouldn't people be made more aware of this possibility?
  
  Answer:-Not really, the earthquake is a relieving of the pressure on an area of the fault, it shouldn't have a major effect on other areas.
  
  Generally a part of the fault line which is subject to Earthquakes, but has not had one for years is most at risk. There are instances where a fault has been dormant for a long time {Indonesia recently} and it is subject to several fairly major shocks.However when the stress is relieved is not predictable, although sometimes pre-shocks are detected.
  
  In summary; go move to the center of a tectonic plate.

  Answer:-no one that i know..
• Question:-Do you think that the second collapse of the mine in Utah had anything to with the earthquake in Peru?
  And if so what do you think is going on with the stability of the earth itself?
  Just wanted to make sure everyone realizes that Peru is on the same planet as Utah!!!
  
  Answer:-Aftershocks in an unstable mine are not tectonic in nature (earth crust moving). Not enough energy from the Peru quake would make it that far north, or else it would have triggered a lot of quakes in Cali as well.
  
  I have a theory that the melting ice caps are redistributing such a large mass of water around the planet that the poles are undergoing tectonic rebound, causing stress at plate boundaries around the world. IT'S aTHEORY (for whoever wishes to argue the point) but I think I am going to watch quake frequency for the next few years.
• Question:-How do I find orphans from The Huaraz Earthquake of 1970, in Peru? Where would I find a list?
  My husband had family living in Yungay or Huaraz in 1970. They never found his cousins, children who may have been at the Circus during the Earthquake and eventual landslide. Does anyone know who would have a list of survivors from this disaster? Alot of the children were sent to Europe for adoption, but I don't know where to. Are there any good websites for this kind of thing?
  
  Answer:-It is very difficult to access to a list of orphans (if there is actually one) The only thing I can think of is to actually visit Yungay (the new town) and start asking the local authorities. Just remember that when the earthquake happened, the government was run by militars who may or may not have sent the orphans omewhere else. The best thing would be to contact people who lived there at the time, and local authorities now in Yungay or in Huaraz. Websites? I dont think so, these things are very delictae to post online.
  Good luck!
• Question:-Do you think that the second collapse of the mine in Utah had anything to do with the earthquake in Peru?
  And if so what do you think is going to happen to the stability of the earth itself?
  Just wanted to make sure that everyone does realize that Peru is in the same planet as Utah!!!
  They have been calling it a sizemic bump on the news.
  
  Answer:-Possibly, the tectonic plates are very large, I dont hink Utah felt any seismic waves though, so I dont think that is the cause of the mine collapse.
• Question:-If you could prevent either an earthquake in Peru that would kill 40,000 people,...?
  a crash at your local airport that would kill 200 people, or an automobile accident that would kill an acquaintance of yours, which would you choose?
  
  Answer:-Wow that's really tough. I would never want to kill anybody I know or have anything happen to them, so I'd have to go with that, number "3" so to say.
  
  Not that I don't care about Peru or the local airport, but if they are people I don't really know and never met what does it have to do with me or my loved ones? You don't know if the people at the local airport were unkind or even people who destroyed themselves and I don't live in Peru.

• Question:-Examples of San Francisco 1906 earthquake amateur photographers?
  I am looking for examples (eg digital archival images) showing amateurs taking photographs in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. It's claimed this was one of the first disasters to be documented heavily by amateur photographers ... I want to see some images of these people "at work". Also interested in images of the 'quake and fire taken specifically by amateurs.
  Please note specific requirements. I'm after images specifically of or by amateur photographers. Specific links would be appreciated. I have already conducted general searches myself, but I'm hoping someone has some specific leads to help answer my question.
  
  Answer:-I have been collecting SF Earthquake negatives for about 10 years now. It was heavily documented by amateurs.
  
  Enter "earthquake" "negative" and search closed auctions. You can usually find a few.
• Question:-Who was the interim fire chief during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake?
  I am doing a research paper on the San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, and I was wondering who the alternate fire chief was. I know that the original one, Dennis T. Sullivan, was killed during the initial quake, but nowhere does it say who filled in for him. Can you help me out?
  
  Answer:-The sheriff was appointed as interim fire chief. Here is a link. Scroll down to find him.

• Question:-How long did it take to clean up after the 1906 san francisco earthquake?
  I was just looking up natural disasters and was looking at one of the world's most well known disaster of the 1906 earthquake that rock san francisco that claimed 3,000 lives.
  I was just wondering how long did it take for the city too clean up and shape like it has today?
  
  Answer:-We know it as the "earthquake and fire," since it was the fire that destroyed the city, not the quake itself.
  
  It was pretty much rebuilt by 1915, when the Pacific Exposition was held. Fun fact: the site of the Exposition was built on landfill from the rubble that was cleaned up; and that's the same area where the houses collapsed in the 1989 earthquake, when the landfill liquefacted.
• Question:-If the LA earthquake had a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale and the magnitude of the San Francisco earthq?
  If the LA earthquake had a magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale and the magnitude of the San Francisco earthquake had a magnitude 35 times as intense as the LA earthquake, what is the magnitude of the San Francisco earthquake?
  
  Answer:-It's 6.5 + log(35) which equals 8.
  
  Logarithm of 35 is about 1.5. It is the exponent of 10 which will yield 35. Or 10^1.5 = 35 (roughly)
• Question:-How was the San Francisco Earthquake delt with (1989)?
  I'm doing a project and I was wondering how was the San Francisco Earthquake of 1989 delt with and what were the steps taking buy the community to rebuilt it?
  
  Answer:-The Loma Prieta earthquake, also known as the Quake of '89 and the World Series Quake, was a major earthquake that struck the San Francisco Bay Area of California on October 17, 1989 at 5:04 p.m. Caused by a slip along the San Andreas Fault, the earthquake lasted approximately 15 seconds and measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale (surface-wave magnitude 7.1).[1] The quake killed 67 people throughout northern California, injured 3,757 people and left more than 12,000 people homeless.
• Question:-Do you think there will be another Huge earthquake in San Francisco this year?
  Long ago I read about the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The article said that scientists believed that a major earthquake is prone to happen every 100 years. This year is Its centennial, do u think its gonna happen?
  
  Answer:-I have noticed that earthquakes seem to occur after a wetter than normal rainy season. So, don't be surprised.
• Question:-The 1906 San Francisco earthquake had a magnitude of 8.3 on the Richter scale. At the same time in South Ameri?
  The 1906 San Francisco earthquake had a magnitude of 8.3 on the Richter scale. At the same time in South America, there was an earthquake with magnitude 4.1 that caused only minor damage. How many times more intense was the San Francisco earthquake than the South American one?
  
  Be sure to provide examples in your answers and to add correct and relevant information.
  
  Answer:-The Richter scale is a logarithmic scale.
  That is, the intensity of an earthquake is proportional to 10^R where R is the Richter scale magnitude of the earthquake.
  
  Comparing the San Francisco earthquake with the South American one, the intensities were in the ratio:
  10^8.3 / 10^4.1 = 10^(8.3-4.1) = 10^4.2 = 15849 = approx. 16000 to two significant figures.
  
  Answer: the San Francisco earthquake was about 16000 times more intense than the South American one.
• Question:-What if San Francisco earthquake of 1906 never happened?
  I need couple sentences on this question from history.
  If San Francisco earthquake never happened....
  
  Answer:-My grandparents would not have had to go live with a relative (grandmother's sister) in Oakland, and my father would not as a result have told my mother that if she ever saw this relative coming down their street, she was to either shoot her or call the police.
  Seriously, what effect? SF would not have been mostly burned down and needed to be rebuilt. I suppose this led to greater interest in earthquakes and geology in the USA, and perhaps improved building codes in California.
• Question:-timeline for the san francisco earthquake of 1906?
