Star Seismic Europe People of Inca civilization were masters of the polished 'dry-stone walls', called ashlar, where blocks of stone were cut to fit together tightly without any mortar. Peru is a highly seismic land, and for centuries the mortar-free construction proved to be apparently more earthquake-resistant than using mortar. -
Star Seismic Europe An earthquake storm is a recently proposed theory about earthquakes, where one triggers a series of other large earthquakes - along the same plate boundary - as the stress transfers along the fault system. This is similar to the idea of aftershocks, with the exception that they take place years apart. These series of earthquakes can devastate entire countries or geographical regions. Possible events may have occurred during the end of the Bronze Age, and the latter part of the Roman Empire.

Star Seismic Europe What is the San Andreas Fault? The San Andreas Fault is a large transform fault that runs through California. The fault is known as a strike-slip fault and separates the large Pacific Plate with the large North American Plate, and has caused some of the largest earthquakes in the western United States.
