Digital camcorders and software programs can generate THM files, which are, essentially, thumbnail images of other media files. Typically, a THM file contains the first frame of the video file whose thumbnail it represents. The names of THM files are similar to the names of the underlying media files. THM files are based on the JPEG format and can be opened by the same programs that open JPEG files.
The most recent major earthquake occured near Haiti. Earthquakes occur most often in seismically active regions, most often the South Pacific around the so called Pacific Rinâ¦g of Fire, and any region where continental plates interact.
HOW DO EARTHQUAKES AFFECT SOCIETY? The earthquake hazard poses the most serious intermediate term risk to the health, safety, and economic viability of many parts of the United States and throughout the world. Recent earthquakes demonstrated the risks to modern industrial societies from such cataclysmic events, affecting everything from massive loss of life, infrastructure damage, and financial instability. Much larger earthquakes can be expected to occur adjacent to many metropolitan regions in the United States. Examples: 1. The Northridge earthquake (1994) was a modest (magnitude 6.7) event which caused 57 deaths, over $20 billion of damage, and created major disruption of the Los Angeles area infrastructure.
