Abstract

The negative effects of natural disasters on human life exist from the foot and did not occur at a specific time but found since the creation of mankind. Humans coexist with extreme events all the time, only when the intensity of the event becomes greater than a certain level there is a resulting disaster. Small earthquakes occur all of the time with no adverse effects. Only large earthquakes cause disasters. Statistical analysis reveals that larger events occur less frequently than small events. Through the large number of seismic events, we find that at the end of the year may have a series of seismic events with different values depending on the strength of activity whether it is high or low on Richter scale and the assessment is only for the greatest value in a year even if recurring this value and the volume of dangerous increases and the frequency of their occurrence according to an ongoing activity, major disasters result from a small number of events and sustained results in a large and devastating event, and can be represented by these results and amounts On a log-scale which points are almost on a straight line and a clear indication of the evaluation event. Through previous data analysis we can understand the following events behavior for coordination and guidance on the development of evacuation plans on the expected future and use a Weibull equation to estimate the frequency of the event and the return again as a percentage for each event and the probability of the occurrence of a particular earthquake to some degree on the Richter scale in the sea during any period. Past records of earthquakes at the West Coast of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Red Sea) for years 1913-2016 are used to predict future conditions concerning the annual frequency, the return period, the percentage probability for each event, and the probability of a certain-magnitude earthquake occurring in the region during any period.

Highlights

  • The natural disaster damaged the old man’s life does not specify a period of time, and perhaps the most important “earthquakes” that threatens “human civilization”

  • The ultimate goal of seismic hazard assessment and risk evaluation for a particular site or area is to condense seism-tectonic knowledge and experience into parameters used for predicting seismic parameters which in turn can be applied by engineers in design and subsequent earthquake resistant construction

  • We find that in the western region of Saudi Arabia is growing concern on the volcanic activity associated with earthquakes in the Red Sea have been the work of affluent studies to assess the seismic risk level

Summary

Seismicity of the West Coast of Saudi Arabia

We find that in the western region of Saudi Arabia is growing concern on the volcanic activity associated with earthquakes in the Red Sea have been the work of affluent studies to assess the seismic risk level. Its strategic movement of marine transportation as connection of the South Ocean through the Strait of Bab el Mandeb and extending north to reach the Sinai Peninsula, and there are branches off to the Gulf of Aqaba and the Gulf of Suez, which leads to the Suez Canal. The length of this sea 1900 kilometers and currently up in some areas to 300 km.
