Isis SG any geo expert can explain... My friend says.. there could be probably be a split-line heading or nearing into our direction. It is possible?
sand king SG When you put your hand on the metal railing and someone from another side of the railing gives it a knock, you will feel the vibration right? haha this is what i think haha, correct me if im wrong for i am not a science student.
Isis SG well, so if there is a major major earth quake.. what is the threshold of our building to be able to withstand the vibration aka tremors. just wondering..
An Eternal Now SG Seismic waves travel for thousands of miles, in fact, across the whole earth though the other end of the earth probably can't feel a thing... only machines can detect.
polarsnake SG There are no 'split lines' or 'faults' (plate boundaries) in Singapore itself. The nearest one would be right next to Indonesia itself. Thats why when the Earthquake happened Singapore could feel it. We are geologically near to the epicenter of the quake, although not near enough to experience severe damage.
polarsnake SG Btw TS you can read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics#Convergent_.28destructive.29_boundaries Read under "3 Types of plate boundaries" The Earthquake in which Indonesia is always experiencing stems from a destructive plate boundary (oceanic-oceanic).
