Sentence examples for damaging ground from inspiring English sources

For densities of 10 20 instruments per km2 the ability to estimate potentially damaging ground motions is reasonable but associated with a significant chance of missed detections and false alarms.

These two events, one just over a minute after the mainshock (12 31 UTC) and the other 11 hours later (23 33 UTC), herein referred to as AS1 and AS2, are large enough that they would have slipped over considerable fault area which would be capable of producing damaging ground motions and contributing to the static displacement field.

The existing early warning systems track S waves, which create the most damaging ground motion.

Therefore, information about the effect of the earthquake rupture on the damaging ground motions in Mashiki could be obtained from including KMMH16 in the inversion analysis.

The damaging ground motions with a JMA intensity of 7 were generated in a narrow zone called the "damage belt" of the Kobe area.

Of those, 16 states, all of which have had earthquakes of at least magnitude 6 in historical times, are considered highly likely to experience damaging ground shaking.

Providing timely warnings of damaging ground-shaking from earthquakes and the imminent arrival of tsunamis is an ongoing challenge.

A new pilot program led by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory aims to provide earlier and more accurate warnings of damaging ground-shaking from earthquakes and the imminent arrival of tsunamis.

Large earthquakes are so infrequent that the data distributions upon which recurrence and Mmax estimates are based are heavily skewed towards magnitudes below Mw5.0, and so require significant extrapolation up to magnitudes for which the most damaging ground-shaking might be expected.

Jacobson found that domes of increased carbon dioxide concentrations – discovered to form above cities more than a decade ago – cause local temperature increases that in turn increase the amounts of local air pollutants, raising concentrations of health-damaging ground-level ozone as well as particles in urban air.

There was a keel-damaging grounding, then a mainsail-shredding storm.
