Some buildings were damaged in Melbourne after a rare earthquake rattled southeastern Australia. The shallow quake hit east of the country's second-largest city just after 9:00am local time (2300 GMT) and was felt hundreds of kilometres (miles) away. The US Geological Survey put the magnitude of the quake at 5.8, later revised up to 5.9, and said it struck at a depth of 10 kilometres (six miles). IMAGES
A powerful earthquake strikes the southern Philippines, killing at least four people and sparking searches of seriously damaged buildings that had already been rattled by two previous deadly tremors in recent weeks. IMAGES
A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the city of Kumamoto, Japan in 2016, killing 49, injuring about 3,000, and leaving tens of thousands of residents homeless. The round shape of the Styrofoam vacation homes at the ASO Farm Land Resort proved highly durable and the resort turned into an evacuation center for thousands of victims from the nearby city. The stock of the foam dome manufacturer then skyrocketed, not just due to the quake resistant properties, but also their cheap manufacturing costs, quick construction time and insulation. A dome house can be put together in just one week by a team of three people and costs about $70,000.
