Abstract: We know that earthquake as a natural disaster creating large-scale destruction in many countries of the world to both mankind and property. One can save his life and property by knowing how to protect from an earthquake and to reduce the risk of destruction. A good knowledge imparting to younger generations about the occurrence of earthquakes raises its consciousness among citizens in the society too. In this study, the knowledge levels of the students studying diploma (Technical) in an engineering college in Andhra Pradesh, India was examined about an earthquake, reasons for the earthquake, do's and don'ts during earthquake etc. In this study, a descriptive quaternary method was adopted............

Abstract: The study area is part of the Hawal Basement Complex, Nigeria's northeast exposure of Precambrian rocks. It is located between longitude 12030ꞌE to 12040ꞌE and latitude 9045ꞌN and 9049ꞌ26.4"N covering an area of about 171 km2. The research work was carried out with the aim of identifying possible sub-volcanic basic rocks in the area and to see the possibility of occurrence of economic mineral deposits in the study area. The magnetic survey was carried out using the G-856 proton precession magnetometer, which measures the magnetic field of the earth. The data was processed and interpreted qualitatively and quantitatively. From the results obtained, the area is characterized by high and low amplitude anomalies............

Abstract: Recently, there has been increased interest in the use of seismic refraction survey for the exploration of hydrogeological reservoirs. The aim of this study is to identify groundwater potential by means of seismic refraction profiles. Seismic refraction survey was carried out using 12 channel Oyo McSeis seismograph to obtain data in Secha, Arba Minch, Ethiopia. The seismic velocities distribution analysis indicated that, there are three different subsurface lithological zones ranging between (155 -512 m/s), (814-1437 m/s) and (1561-2400m/s). The depth to the groundwater saturated layers ranging from 36 m and 50 m. Gradual increase of seismic velocity indicate changes of lithological layers with vertical depth............
