What is an Earth quake?

Welcome. It helps the members in knowing new things.

Died people count is increasing more and more. It was really big one. 

Also read in the news that all continents are coming near which can cause more earthquake in near future. Kathmandu movies 10 feet towards India!!! That's really shocking.

True. Khatmandu moves 10 feet-towards India, but the height of Everest remains unchanged. Yes, in the coming years there are chances for more earth quakes. Today I read in a local paper that California has threat for a high intensity earth quake.

Future looks scary this way. Nepal's people are really living scary life these days.

Yes. Countries moving closer is a signal for potential dangers for humanity. Nepal is completely devastated. My sympathies to them.

Substantially all damage caused by the earthquake and many people have died.It was not good, we should pray to God that never happen

Prayers will not stop earth quakes. To that matter nothing can stop earth quakes. At the most by taking precautions as suggested in the link article, which I'm sure you did not rea the loss of man power and property can be minimized.

Rahul, you are a new member I know. But without studying FAQ or the way in which the site works, youa started posting in an erratic way which attracted everybody's attention including the moderators Kalyani nandutkar and Gulshanji Kumar Ajmani who introduced you to this site.

I advise you not to jump into site activities like forums without understandingwhat is what. For example, you posted above two postings one after another which is taken by the moderators as spamming. It may be treated as objectionable.

Hope you understood what I said and put it into practice.

Earthquake is as much real as the creation of earth in the past several well managed civilization such as Indus valley civilization and mighty dinosaur exited form earth, we could delay the inevitable but could not avoid it, as one could love or hate earthquake but could not ignore it altogether. 

Agreed. Awareness matters. Withawareness it's possible to reduce the damage to some extent.

I have read in a newspaper that sensors can be placed to know about the Earthquake in advance, though not very much in advance and the best technology in this respect is available in California but the costs are humongous.

A good information Praneeth. What is the cost before the lives of millions? We need such devices so that loss of lives and material can be minimized or reduced.

Awareness is important but while dealing with sudden natural happenings like earth quake and tsunami is always difficult to manage but still with each and every incident we could read many more, such as perhaps any android apps that could report incidents to users so that they could be alerted within shortest span of time. 

Wisdom lies in utilizing technological tools in order to minimize the damage of men and material.

Construction of houses and the amount of wisdom Japanese people utilized in creating earthquake proof houses need to be learnt and properly utilized. 

In this regard Japan has shown the world by building houses that can cause minimum loss of men and materials in the event of earth quakes and tsunamis . They are worh emulating. 

India's effort in recent disaster management by NDRF team also well acclaimed world over and within three hours India's team reached earthquake zone to help friendly nations. 

True. Now obviously we are learning lessons.

Just reading the news .... Another 7.4 earthquake in Nepal. Waiting for more details on it.

I think it is 7.1 if am true, and almost at the same time that of earlier, real hardship times for people of Nepal. 

It's a big earthquake in intensity. Gradually reports of death and building collapses are pouring in.
