What causes earthquakes? How and why do they occur? – Explain the type of faults and the plate tectonic mechanism that causes the seismicity. (other causes apart from faults can be mentioned too) – Explain what seismic waves are. Where do earthquakes occur? – Plate boundary earthquakes – Intraplate earthquakes Damage caused by earthquakes – Mention a catastrophe that happened in the past Risk Mitigation – How can we reduce the impact of earthquakes and prevent damage? – Seismic retrofitting ( used attached source and feel free to use any of your own on this part) – Shock absorbers – Other technologies ? I want a research paper with an introduction, body, and conclusion. It should have in text citation in the Harvard referencing style and a list of references at the end. SOURCES SHOULD BE RECENT 2015+ and SHOULD be JOURNAL ARTICLES/BOOKS ( no websites ). Use approximately 6 sources and all together should be around 2000 words. Please explain the causes of earthquakes, how and why they occur, where they occur and also talk about the risk mitigation. Follow my outline and feel free to add somethings where you feel is necessary. It should be written in clear understandable language as I am still in my first year of university but at the same time should be scientific enough and meets the level of a university undergraduate. I have included some sources, use them and ADD your own. 1. Seismic retrofitting of rural rammed earth buildings using externally bonded fibers (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0950061815304062?via%3Dihub) 2.
