Earthquakes happen worldwide, and different countries experience varying levels of seismic activity. Some nations have frequent earthquakes, while others rarely encounter them, and a few are entirely free from such events. Nigeria is among the countries that have experienced relatively low and infrequent seismic activity.
In its most general sense, the word earthquake is used to describe any seismic event that generates seismic waves. Earthquakes can occur naturally or be induced by human activities, such as mining, fracking, and nuclear tests. The initial point of rupture is called the hypocenter or focus, while the ground level directly above it is the epicenter.
The following is a timeline for Google Street View, a technology implemented in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides ground-level interactive panoramas of cities. The service was first introduced in the United States on May 25, 2007, and initially covered only five cities: San Francisco, Las Vegas, Denver, Miami, and New York City.
