Earthquake Engineering - Capabilities - Exponent
In any given year, the world can expect 18 earthquakes of magnitude greater than 7.0, most of which (more than 80%) will likely occur on the so-called Ring of Fire, which circumscribes the Pacific Plate and includes a portion of the California coast.

Earthquake Engineering Spotlight - Learn Science at Scitable
Recent events in Haiti and Chile have shown how devastating earthquakes can be. But why is the loss of human life greater in some earthquakes than in others of comparable intensity? The answer lies largely in the different quality of building standards used in various countries.
