Answer 1

Indonesia 2004 – 228,000 casualties. Haiti 2010 – 230,000. Japan 2011 – 20,000. Nepal 2015 – 9,000. 

Earthquakes – very strong, very calamitous events – rock our planet on a regular basis. But as with many things, the danger is not distributed evenly – and when you take into account a nations ability to confront the aftermath of such a disaster, we discover things are not distributed evenly at all. 

On any given day, it is estimated that 283 million people are exposed to the possibility of a major shake up. The areas where major plates of the earth touch are the places where quakes are most likely to happen. These junctures between continental plates are called faults, and living on a fault line puts humans at risk of suffering damage or death at the hands of an earthquake.

This, however, has not stopped mankind from building some of the largest, most densely-populated cities on the planet over the most active fault lines. Many of the world's biggest cities are built on shaky foundations. Although knowing really is not half the battle when it comes to earthquakes, we’ve armed you with a list of the major cities on Earth where an un expected tremor shouldn't be so unexpected.

Tokyo, Japan

When accounting for overall exposure to the five major natural catastrophes-river floods, earthquakes, wind storms, storm surges and tsunamis – Tokyo remains first. But earthquakes are Tokyo’s main worry.

The capital of Japan sits spot-on the Pacific Ring of Fire, where its 37 million citizens are threatened by earthquakes and other natural disasters on a daily basis. The Ring of Fire is a tectonic plate in the Pacific Basin that is responsible for 90% of the world’s earthquakes and 81% of the world’s strongest quakes. On top of its prolific tectonic activity, Japan is also home to 452 volcanoes, making it the most disruptive geographic location in terms of natural catastrophes.

According to international organization Swiss Re, 29.4 million Tokyo residents would be exposed were a strong quake to occur. But earthquakes are not the only natural catastrophe to factor in: monsoons, tsunamis, and floods are prevalent in the region. It is this singular potential for multiple disasters that makes Tokyo such a dangerous city.

An important aspect in understanding the threat posed to Tokyo is how these events would reverberate on the world scale. That is to say, the value of working days lost from a natural catastrophe in Tokyo would affect the international economy to a greater degree than in any of the other catastrophe-prone cities, and would, of course, be a disaster to Japan’s national economy.
