Sažetak
Earthquakes are natural events and it is quite easy and beneficial to convert them to wealth (national asset) rather than catastrophe. The earthquakes exert their catastrophe on the buildings/structures founded in soil grounds. There is not even a single case study of an earthquake that caused a catastrophe where structures/buildings are founded on/in a rocky ground that is not proper for agriculture. However, almost all inland earthquakes, particularly strike-slip and normal fault zones ultimately create larger and thicker soil mantle, which is heated by (a) kinetic energy created by particle movements and (b) higher geothermal gradient peculiar to active fault zones. So, people should use fertile soil plains for agriculture and surrounding rocky lands for settlement in accordance with the recommendations of Mother Nature and State Laws and in accordance with the maxim "Love the nature, never challenge it”.
