Science is still unable to predict earthquakes with any accuracy, and the nature of the quake and the damage it causes will depend on numerous factors, such as the depth of the quake (in this case it was shallow, meaning more ground shaking) and the nature of the rocks.he quake happened in one of the worldâs most active seismic zones, the great transglobal mountain belt that stretches from the Pyrenees in the far west through the Alps, Caucasus and Himalaya ranges to the forested hills of south-east Asia.
Ways to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions. There are three primary methods for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: employing energy efficiency and conservation practices; using carbon-free or reduced-carbon energy resources; and capturing and storing carbon either from fossil fuels or from the atmosphere.
Technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by fossil fuels, and nuclear energy can be a zero-carbon alternative for electricity generation. But other, more sustainable solutions exist: energy efficiency and renewable energy.et fossil fuels are finite resources and they can also irreparably harm the environment. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the burning of fossil fuels was responsible for 79 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2010.
