Seismologist

What does a seismologist do?

The work of a seismologist is to study the vibrations of earth and earthquakes. They use tools like the ritcher scale, seismograph and the mercalli scale. These instruments measure the frequency of the waveforms made by earthquakes. Using these devices, they try to predict earthquakes before they happen, but they haven’t been successful yet, unlike most other animals. Seismologists also work with other professions in geology to do things like try to find areas where you can mine and make oil reserves. The work of a seismologist is very important to find out about our earthquakes, and one day we may be able to find out exactly when earthquakes are going to happen, then be able to save a lot of lives.

What impact do earthquakes and tsunamis have on people? The impact that these natural

This can traumatize many people because they don’t know what happened to that family member. Tsunamis are even worse, as people can be pulled out to sea, very quickly. I think the best way to help these people who have lost someone to a tsunami or earthquake, is to help them try to find family, and rebuild homes, and donate blankets, food and clothes to these people.

Australia and earthquake proof buildings-

A lot of people die from the falling rubble of collapsed buildings when earthquakes occur, not the actual earthquakes themselves. Technology does exist to stop earthquake destroying cities. If technology likes this exists why do earthquakes still effect people the way they do? The problem is that the expenses are still very high. And what about the buildings that already exist? They will have to be rebuilt from scratch, so the engineering used can be put on place. There are two main ways that you can strengthen a building against earthquakes. You can make the building stronger, so the quakes don’t rock the
