Earthquakes
by Mark Quigly and Brendan Duffy
Earthquakes and related phenomena such as landslides and tsunamis have caused more than 700,000 fatalities, millions of injuries, and more than $US 700 billion economic loss since the start of the 21st century. With a growing population and supporting infrastructure, the world’s exposure to natural disasters is inevitably increasing. Some scientists predict that more than 2.5 million earthquake fatalities will occur in the 21st century.
