The new information may assist with prevention.

Nearly 700,000 houses went down in the 2015 quakes, leaving a huge amount of stone, bricks, useful mud mortar, timber and roof tiles.Sat, 20 Apr 2019 04:32:00 +0200nepalitimes-6c84457ba90f74847f27c5023c7bf79820190420043200https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-6940069/Almost-two-million-previously-hidden-earthquakes-detected.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490'It's not that we didn't know these small earthquakes were occurring. The problem is that they can be very difficult to spot amid all of the noise,' says Zachary Ross, lead author of the study form Caltech. They deciphered signs of earthquakes from background noise by using a method known as 'template matching'.Fri, 19 Apr 2019 16:09:00 +0200dailymail-52b59204f14cb1e354925f1400fda8a420190419160900https://www.livescience.com/65267-quakes-shake-southern-california-every-three-minutes.htmlSouthern California is a lot shakier than ever before realized. According to a new study, a tiny earthquake rumbles through the southern portion of the Golden State every 3 minutes. These temblors won't knock down walls or send palm trees swaying. In fact, they're too small for even typical seismic instruments to regularly detect.Fri, 19 Apr 2019 02:10:00 +0200newsnow-co-uk-55d78a63c4986ebebd6380d51d95a81920190419021000
