Introduction
Geography is divided into two groups, i.e. physical geography and human geography. "The study of actual patterns and procedures (global warming, deforestation, water resources etc) at the earth surface and the connection between people and their environment is known as Physical geography". Whereas human geography deals with the social and cultural patterns (urbanization, socio-economic conditions, etc). A variety of tools like geographic information systems (GIS), maps, remote sensing, spatial statistics, global positioning systems (GPS), and mathematical modeling are used by geographers to study the information they get (Christine E. McMichael, 2010).
On 18 February 2011, in Alabama (United States) an earthquake took place with the magnitude of 3.5.no damaged was reported due to that earthquake.
