Question

A powerful earthquake, registering 7.2 on the Richter scale, hit
the western part of Japan on 7th January, 1995 at 0546 hours
(Japan time). Its epicenter was about twenty kilometers beneath
Awaji Island, some thirty kilometers from Kobe. It was Japan's
worst earthquake since a very powerful one struck eastern Japan
in 1923. The 1995 earthquake had inflicted the greatest loss of life
and damage to buildings, roads, bridges and railways in Kobe and
the coastal cities nearest to Awaji Island. Osaka, Japan's second-
largest city, also suffered significant damage, bringing the death
toll to just over five hundred.
Japan is an earthquake-prone country but the area around Kobe
had not been known to be a danger zone. It is therefore surprising
that an earthquake of this magnitude should hit the area. There
are quite a number of seismographs and sensors that detect earth
tremors throughout Japan. These instruments are supposed to
help earthquake researchers predict earthquakes. On an early
warning, people could be evacuated to safer places.
It was disappointing that in the case of the Kobe earthquake, no
early warning had been given. Unexpectedly, many of the newer
roads and buildings were badly damaged. These roads and
buildings had been engineered and constructed to withstand
earthquakes. Fortunately, the Kobe nuclear power plant managed
to escape damage. If radioactivity had leaked as a result of the
damage to the plant, it would have triggered off severe and long-
lasting damage on health and the environment.
The Kobe earthquake inflicted such massive damage that
reconstruction would be long and arduous. The early-warning
system too has been receiving the extra attention it needs,
especially so because a big one is expected to strike the Tokyo
region in the next twenty to thirty years, according to earthquake
researchers
