Question

the earthquake corresponding to the ultimate safety requirement is often termed as

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Indian subcontinent has suffered some of the greatest earthquakes in the world. The earthquakes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries triggered a number of early advances in science and engineering related to earthquakes that are discussed here. Activities in the late 1950s to institutionalize earthquake engineering in the country are also discussed. Despite these early developments towards seismic safety, moderate earthquakes in India continue to cause thousands of deaths, indicating the poor seismic resilience of the built environment. The Bhuj earthquake of 2001 highlighted a striking disregard for structural design principles and quality of construction.

Answer 2

The earthquake corresponding to the ultimate safety requirement is often termed as tectonic earthquakes.

Earthquake:

• An earthquake is the shaking of the ground brought on by waves moving on and beneath its surface, which can also result in surface faulting, tremors, liquefaction, landslides, aftershocks, and/or tsunamis.

Tectonic earthquakes:

• Due to their remote locations or small magnitudes, many of the many million earthquakes that occur worldwide each year go unnoticed.
• The majority of the earthquakes that are detected are massive tectonic earthquakes, which are brought on by geological forces acting on nearby crustal plates and rocks.

Tectonic plates:

• Plate tectonic borders are the sites of tectonic earthquakes.
• Although tectonic plates are always steadily shifting, occasionally friction between them can force them to lock together and become immobile.
• The other plates continue to move, increasing the pressure on the locked section.
• The locked portion eventually gives way to the strain, and the plates quickly pass one another.
• A tectonic earthquake results from this movement.
• The trembling we experience at an earthquake location is brought on by waves of released energy that travel through the Earth's crust.

Hence, tectonic earthquakes are frequently used to describe earthquakes that meet the highest level of safety.
