In stead of saying, "Population growth and encroachment can make areas susceptible to earthquakes", the report should have said, "Population growth and encroachment can cause worse earthquake damage". There would have been no questions then.I am sure there are other forms of sentences to describe the same cause and effect relationship.Thanks,Dilip Deka ----- Original Message ----From: utpal borpujari <utpalb21 at yahoo.com>To: assamonline at yahoogroups.comSent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 8:22:31 AMSubject: [asom] Re: Report carves out quake belt-Aiport in high-risk, GU in moderateIt could be a case of misquoting by the reporter, unless the official quoted is a bureacrat who is not a scientist and thus could make such misleading comments (usually senior DST officials are scientists themselves). It is not possible that "population growth and encroachment" can "make areas susceptible to earthquakes", as you said, and what my limited knowledge as a qualified geologist says. I think the actual comment could have been something to do with how the damage could be more extensive in times of earthquakes because of population growth and encroachment - something that is waiting to happen in Guwahati when the next Big Quake happens.Utpal BorpujariRe: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/assamonline/message/4065__._,_.___
