3.9: Case Studies
Alaska (1964) —The 1964 Alaska earthquake, moment magnitude 9.2, was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded. The earthquake originated in a megathrust fault along the Aleutian subduction zone. The earthquake caused large areas of land subsidence and uplift, as well as significant mass wasting.
Case Study
Recent Earthquake Activity. Earth is a dynamic planet. Its crust is continuously forming and deforming. The crust is constantly pushed and pulled as it moves, causing a strain to build up over time. When this built-up strain is suddenly released, the crust shakes, and we call this movement an earthquake. Depending upon their strength and where ...

Japan 2011 Earthquake Case Study
Japan experienced one of its largest seismic events on March 11 2011. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred 70km off the coast of the northern island of Honshu where the Pacific and North American plate meet. It is the largest recorded earthquake to hit Japan and is in the top five in the world since records began in 1900.
Earthquake preparedness in an urban area: the case of Dhaka city
This study aims to assess people's preparedness for a potential earthquake in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. We have employed a model with six dimensions of holistic individual preparedness.
