Natives signed treaties which are still respected today.

The level of respect is per treaty, a blanket statement cant be corroborated as many are not respected or dont have consensus amongst the affected people of being respected

4.x l to 5.x earthquakes are still happening a few times a week and the area couldn't recover from disaster. last week, one 4 stories building next to my friend house collapsed,near Mandalay. Does that mean Myanmar is now an active zone?

The rules for building in these areas should be way more strict than they are. A 4.x earthquake in Japan is just another normal day for them.

You could lose all your property, without compensation too, if your unlucky enough to have a big enough meteorite crash into it.

People lose property to coastal erosion all the time. Here there is a scheme to give some people replacement land further inland I think in some areas.

Impressive. Here they give them money to rebuild in the same spot and hope for the best.

It sure would suck to lose half your property to the earth suddenly saying screw you.

Can you not cash in on the meteorite?

Can't even have an article about earthquakes without signalling your political tribe.

Area doesn't just disappear. I suppose that depending on what's on the land, your area might have a few more potatoes from your northern neighbors and fewer carrots you generously gifted to your southern neighbors. You could alternatively just deal with your new jagged plot. Worst case scenario, you're now the owner of the new Turkish Canyon.

> Area doesn't just disappear Land area does in a subduction zone.

Although that land would have already been under water.

in a sense it's mind blowing that we had images of stars being born, black holes, cells dividing etc before earthquake faults in motion. Like how the process of how they happen have only been inferred until now

This reminds me of the idea that we know more about some aspects of space than about the ocean. At least, more people have been to the moon than to the deepest point of the ocean!

There are subduction zones outside oceanic plates:
