With the recent earthquake in Japan so the last thing I wanted was to receive an email from a "friend" reported that Singapore is located 500 kilometers from one of the major seismic zones and the Earth Observatory of Singapore (EOS) intends to study how the country would be affected if there were a catastrophic earthquake, because it is that nobody knows what would happen in this case.

Megawati Professor Kusnowidjaja the EOS has identified the Mentawai segment sumatreña megasísmica plate as a seismic gap. Megasísmicas plates are those that are capable of producing major earthquakes. Seismic gaps are areas that have not had much movement in time, so there is much tension built up, which means that when finally moving, earthquakes are devastating. The segment, of course, gets its name from the Mentawai Islands, a group of islands along the western coast of Sumatra.

Professor Megawati estimated that in the course of the coming decades (a blink in geological terms) could be a mega-earthquake on that fault. As affecting only the plate that remains dormant since 1797 or that and which is inactive since 1833, would have either a 8.6-scale earthquake or a 9.0 scale. And the teacher opens the door to a 9.2 scale earthquake if affects both boards under certain conditions.

Kerry Sieh of the California Institute of Technology has done work on the same lines that the teacher Megawati, but concludes with a "just know that no sé nada” que es todavía más inquietante. Y si no, atentos: “¿Cuán grande es el peligro creado por la sección megasísmica de Sunda en la costa sur de Java, una de las costas más pobladas de la Tierra? ¿No es increíble que nadie lo sepa realmente? Sabemos por el tsunami de julio de 2006 que incluso un terremoto moderado tiene el potencial de crear un tsunami peligroso a nivel local. Pero ¿es posible que la placa megasísmica al sur de Java pudiera también generar un terremoto mucho más grande, digamos de un 8.5 o un 9.0, que produciría un tsunami mucho más devastador en una de las cosas más pobladas del planeta?” Otras preguntas que Sieh se hace para sleep are: what will the next section of the plate fracture megasísmica Himalaya? What will happen to the plate megasísmica of Manila, which goes to Taiwan?

Returning to Singapore which is what interests me. The good news is that it is far enough away from the fault to the effects of an earthquake we arrived muffled. The bad news is that most of the buildings in Singapore are the British building standards, designed for a country with little seismic activity. In principle Singaporean buildings resist it, but on condition that the earthquake did not last longer 3 minutes, as may occur in the case of a megabyte. The buildings constructed on flimsy grounds, for many Singaporean buildings built on land reclaimed from the sea, would be in danger. Computer models show that such buildings would suffer greatly effect the propagation of earthquake waves. Kenneth MacPherson, the EOS has summarized the situation thus scientists have when they want all slept peacefully, " Regarding infrastructural damage likely in Singapore, no one really knows yet ." Dude, what did you mean to "still"? Is not enough to say you do not have "no fucking idea" as the rest of us?
