Global warming, weather change , it sounds like you have anxiety of your property's falling down !!
If you don't build with earthquake tremors in mind on anti shock pads .. well we'll,,,
The building in Bangkok that came down was supposed to be government office ...
With global warming and the world plates moving no way would I buy a property there.
tonic plates, the Earth's rigid outer shell, move and collide, slide past each other, or move apart, causing stress that can lead to sudden slippage and the release of energy as seismic waves.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Tectonic Plates:
The Earth's crust is not a solid, continuous shell, but rather a mosaic of large, rigid plates called tectonic plates.
Plate Movement:
These plates are constantly moving, though very slowly, atop a partially molten layer called the mantle.
Plate Boundaries:
The edges where plates meet are called plate boundaries, and these are where most earthquakes and volcanic activity occur.
Types of Plate Boundaries:
Divergent: Plates move apart, allowing magma from the mantle to rise and create new crust (e.g., mid-ocean ridges).
Convergent: Plates collide, leading to one plate being forced under another (subduction) or causing mountains to form.
Transform: Plates slide past each other horizontally, causing friction and stress that can lead to earthquakes.
Earthquakes:
When plates get stuck and pressure builds up along a fault line (a fracture in the Earth's crust), the plates suddenly slip, releasing energy in the form of seismic waves, causing the ground to shake.
Examples:
The "Ring of Fire," a zone of intense earthquake and volcanic activity around the Pacific Ocean, is a result of plate movement.
The Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa is widening due to tectonic plate movement.
The Himalayan Mountains are a result of the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
