Wow i’m doin a case study about it and shame i feel so sorry for all those guys,so that prob means if they cant predict an earthquake at least if they build quake-proof houses and buildings for future use dnt u think so too

It’s much harder to detect earthquakes than you think. In fact it’s near impossible. That’s why Haiti was hit so hard. If they had known, they would have evacuated immediately.

This happened a while ago, but Japan doesn’t have to worry about another earthquake soon =3

There is no way of predicting a earthquake so they couldnt have evacuated quick enough. They already had prepared for a earthquake by making earthquake proof buildings. There was a law/guideline meaning that all buildings had to be built to earthquake safe standards. However this law didnt come into play until 1981. Many buildings in Kobe had been built before this meaning that they didnt hold up well against the earthquake in 1995

It happewned becasue the oceanic philippines plate moved and disappeared under the continental eurasian plate, on the destructive plate marginl, this caused an earthquake to happen in the awaji islands and the seismic waves travelled down the nojima fault line to kobe where the damge was caused, because the epicentre and the focus where very close the surface.
