Course Objective

Today, some of the geology and geophysics on earthquakes all over our planet The increasing importance of issues, and these issues are discussed with them most of the time a known fact that a number of convergences tried to be established. On one hand, the location of earthquakes will occur in the future, the size and the exact time is known in advance, especially in these settlements and major industries on the other hand centers can bring in the efforts to reduce the loss of life and property, while special addition to issues related to geology and geophysics disciplines together to address are required.
