  Due to some unscrupulous building contractors cut corners, shoddy, earthquake in recent years, the new "shabby" uncommon. Due to the lack of earthquake awareness, most buildings in the construction of the affected areas did not consider seismic factors, from design, material _select_ion to the presence of numerous construction problems.

British Geological experts Rasmussen said: "The Indian Ocean is moving in a north crust is being squeezed into the Indian plate beneath the Eurasian plate."
