Ground Acceleration and Soil Type Key Factors in Earthquake Damage
Ground acceleration, measured as multiples of gravity (g), is a key factor in earthquake damage; values above 0.2g cause damage, while above 0.4g significantly increases collapse risk. Soil type is also crucial, with loose soils amplifying ground motion and causing liquefaction.

Tectonic Plate Fissure May Explain Lisbon Earthquakes
A newly discovered fissure in the tectonic plate off the coast of Portugal, forming for at least five million years, is causing delamination and may explain the 1755 and 1969 Lisbon earthquakes; scientists used ocean-floor seismometers and computational models to make the discovery.
