ggstt) Mon 11:21 PM csusb.blackboard.com a The purpose of this assignment is to discuss the scholarly article that you chose about your environmental issue. Find a scholarly article from a peer-reviewed journal (on-line version of a peer-reviewed journal article is ok). The article should be from 2011-2017 and should discuss the some aspect of the same environmental issue as your popular source from last week. This same issue will be the topic of your next assignment as well. You may wish to research the source (the journal) that published the article. You may wish to research the author, or at least the lead (first) author of the article to find out more about them. Note: Be for answers that do not end with a period. sure to end each answer with " even if your response is not a complete sentence. You may not receive credit This test has a time limit of 4 hours.

Methods of reducing earthquake hazards
Considerable work has been done in seismology to explain the characteristics of the recorded ground motions in earthquakes. Such knowledge is needed to predict ground motions in future earthquakes so that earthquake-resistant structures can be designed. Although earthquakes cause death and destruction through such secondary effects as landslides, tsunamis, fires, and fault rupture, the greatest losses—both of lives and of property—result from the collapse of man-made structures during the violent shaking of the ground. Accordingly, the most effective way to mitigate the damage of earthquakes from an engineering standpoint is to design and construct structures capable of withstanding strong ground motions.
You can't stop an earthquake. But you can lessen the effects of that earthquake--thus protecting your home, your life, and your family. Don’t make the mistake of thinking, "Well, there's nothing I can do anyhow; if it comes, it comes." You can make your house safer…and after all, isn't your family worth it?
There are five things you can do right now, this weekend, to mitigate the effects of earthquakes. Don't put them off. Do them now.
