Answer: Earthquake is one of the most common natural calamities on earth. Earthquake is an abrupt (AvKw¯§K) movement of a part of the Earth's surface caused by deep crack in the Earth or by volcanic (Av‡Mœq) eruption (AMœ~¨rcvZ). It causes great disaster. Bangladesh is in the active earthquake area. Now, it is frequently (NbNb) felt in Bangladesh. But the people of our country are not conscious enough about the gravity (AwfKl©) of this dangerous natural calamity. Most of the buildings of our country will be destroyed if they are not built in accordance with an earthquake resistant (cÖwZ‡ivaK) standard. A group of experts opine that the repetition of quakes in recent years should be taken as a signal for a major earthquake. Another group of experts believe that the concern should not be amplified (ewa©Z Kiv), because there are a number of fault lines in the geographical area comprising Bangladesh. But none of them is active enough to pose a major threat. So, in order to protect us from this impending (Avmbœ) danger, we must be conscious about the causes and results of earthquake. We should not build house without the advice of expert. The Government should take steps for this disaster. The Government should develop earthquake resistant building code that all buildings should follow as mandatory.
