Are there other large cities close to fault lines?


The center of the Haiti earthquake was only 25 km(16 mi) from Port-au-Prince. Are there other cities close to fault lines(the borders of tectonic plates)?

San Francisco ,Los Angeles ,Kyoto,Tokyo,Tehran .About 1/3 of the world's megacities [cities with a population of 2 million or more] are located near fault lines. Of the 13 most populated cities in the world, 10 are located in areas of high risk for earthquakes alone. However, it is purely coinsidence that populated placed along the coast, an aesthetically pleasing and popular location [frequently in high demand], lie parallel to fault lines. This idea follows along the same lines as the theory of the supercontinent, seeing that a land mass, once a single intity, broke apart creating new coastline along the fault lines [edges of the today's tectonic plates].

These areas are subject to repeat seismic activities and damages from earthquakes that have occured and will continue to occur. It is ironic that fault lines double as popular areas prone to urban growth and development. Since these areas of risk are now heavily populated they receive the most destructive impacts from earthquakes due to damage and casualty.

    First, TNL, CCDS defines itself as a socialist and Marxist group that is ‘pluralist,’ which means several views can contend, and they especially do on elections. We have people in the Greens and in Peace and Freedom Party (which defines its self as socialist, by the way) who thing those of us working in PDA are wasting our time.

    First one is Catch a Tiger (lie)
    Second one is Lawn Boy (clue)
    Third one is Stanford Wong… (school)
    Fourth one is Red Kayak (After all)
    Last one is Safe House (perfect night)

    You really should do your own homework. I never heard of any of these and found your answers by Googling.

    #Assad keeps talking abt “fault lines” & “earthquakes” because he knows a crevasse will open up & he will be sucked down to the pit of Hell.
