No, I don’t think there is a high chance of an earthquake like the one in 1811-12 to occur in my lifetime. At this time many people would have been killed because there’s a higher population. In 1811-12 a less percentage of death was more likely because there was probably very few people living in the area of where the earthquake hit. Also, there would be a high increase of death toll.
that the earthquake could have wiped out. In 1811-12 there was probably not near as much buildings or special landforms that could be destroyed, but at this moment there are many buildings, homes, stores, etc. I think the effects would be different (much different) if that earthquake were to happen right now because there would be much more damage. These three opinions are what we think that determine if an earthquake is a disaster. If they had all the resources that they need then everything would be lot easier then if you had no recourses and there is no way of getting things to you and you would be on your own with out help. The third and final determination is the resources that people would have after the earthquake. The second way we think would determine if an earthquake is a disaster is how big the scale is, from 1-10.If an earthquake is a 1 than it is very small and you probably wouldn’t feel it, but if it was a 10 then you better take cover because stuff would be coming down on top of you. The location is important because if an earthquake hits a wheat field then there would be no sign that an earthquake had hit, but if an earthquake hit a city then there would be a lot of buildings destroyed and lots of lives taken. One way to determine if an earthquake can be a disaster is its location.
