Earthquake funding.
by: Christine Zafra
The world is not getting any younger. Experts say that our home existed about 4.55 billion years ago and considering how many things can happen within a century, that’s pretty long a timeline.
The earth moves, and that is the main cause of earthquakes. Earthquakes are generally triggered by the movement of tectonic plates—so much for science. This phenomenon is natural occurring; hence, this can’t be prevented nor controlled. However, the damage that’ll soon take place can be prevented. That’s the reason why the former Californian Insurance Commissioner Charles Quackenbush decided to fund earthquake studies worth $6.5 million dollars.
