Earthquakes Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural disasters, causing the largest numbers of casualties,
11
the highest death tolls, and the greatest destruction.
12
In 1556, in China, the deadliest earthquake in history killed 830,000 people.
13
But many other earthquakes have caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people, and it is not unusual even in modern times for an
14
earthquake death toll to reach 20,000 to 30,000 people with hundreds of thousands left homeless and with countless injured.
15
The floodwaters of the 2004 tsunami in Sumatra, which killed over 200,000 people, were caused by a catastrophic earthquake.
16
There are four factors that affect the casualty rate and economic impact of earthquakes.
17
magnitude, location, quality of construction of buildings, and timing.
18
Magnitude.
19
The magnitude, or strength, of an earthquake is measured on the Richter scale,
20
ranging from 1 to 10 with 10 being the greatest earthquakes over 6 on the Richter scale are often deadly
21
and those over 8 are generally catastrophic causing terrible damage
22
location a severe earthquake
23
that is located far from population centers does not cause the same damage as a less severe one
24
that occurs in the middle of a city.
25
As an example, in 1960, the strongest earthquake ever recorded, 9.5 magnitude on the Richter scale,
26
struck in the Pacific Ocean near the Chilean coastline, destroying buildings, killing over 2,000,
27
and injuring another 3,000 in regional cities near the coast.
28
If this quake had struck a city directly, it would have been catastrophic, and hundreds of thousands might have been killed.
29
Similarly, in Alaska in 1964, a magnitude 9.2 quake hit an area with few people,
30
and the death toll was 117.
31
Quality of Construction
32
Modern building construction techniques can lessen the death toll
33
and economic impact of a moderate earthquake that would otherwise cause severe destruction of older-style buildings.
34
In 2010, a terrible earthquake in Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, caused the destruction of a tremendous number of the city's buildings, mostly due to poor construction.
35
In contrast, an even stronger earthquake later that year in Chile caused less destruction because of that country's use of earthquake-resistant construction.
36
Timing Finally, the time of occurrence of an earthquake can affect the number of deaths and casualties.
37
Earthquakes that occur in the night, when people are indoors, usually cause a greater death toll than ones that occur when people are outdoors.
38
Thank you.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
