refimprove date August 2010 The earthquake bomb , or seismic bomb , was a concept that was invented by the British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis early in World War II and subsequently developed and used during the war against strategic targets in Europe. Development Main Tallboy bomb Grand Slam bomb Image seismic bomb.gif thumb A T 12 Cloudmaker earthquake bomb An explosion in air does not transfer much energy into a solid, due to acoustic impedance . Due to the lack of accuracy of bombing in the face of anti aircraft defences, air forces used area bombardment , dropping large numbers of bombs so that it would be likely that the target was hit. Although a direct hit from a light bomb would destroy an unprotected target, it was comparatively easy to armour ground targets with many yards of concrete, and thus render critical installations such as bunkers essentially bombproof. If a bomb could be designed to explode in water, soil, or other less compressible materials, the explosive force would be transmitted more efficiently to the target object. Wallis idea was to drop a large, heavy bomb with a hard armoured tip at supersonic speed so that it penetrated the ground &mdash an effect comparable to a ten ton bullet being fired straight down. It was then set to explode underground, ideally to the side of, or underneath a hardened target the resulting shock wave would produce the equivalent of a miniature earthquake, destroying any nearby structures such as dams, railways, viaducts, etc. Any concrete reinforcement of the target would likely serve to enclose the force better ...

Earthquakes Unreferenced date May 2007 An interplate earthquake is an earthquake that occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plate s. If one plate is trying to move past the other, they will be locked until sufficient stress builds up to cause the plates to slip relative to each other. The slipping process creates an earthquake with land deformations and resulting seismic wave s which travel through the Earth and along the Earth s surface. Relative plate motion can be lateral as along a transform fault boundary or vertical if along a convergent subduction boundary or a rift geology rift at a divergent boundary. At a subduction boundary the motion is due to one plate slipping beneath the other plate resulting in an interplate thrust or megathrust earthquake . Some areas of the world that are particularly prone to such events include the west coast of North America especially California and Alaska , the northeastern Mediterranean region Greece , Italy , and Turkey in particular , Iran , New Zealand , Indonesia , Japan , and parts of China .
