Apart from the places
affected by armed conflicts, desertification or other climate disasters and by the
nuclear terrorism menace by nations or terrorist groups, probably, the most
risky places to human populations in our planet are the populated areas limited
by subduction or by continental plate collisions, the areas near supervolcanoes
and the areas which are exposed to potential tsunamis. But all these mentioned
cases achieve apocalyptic conditions with planetary consequences limited in the
time to thousands of years when in these places there are installations of nuclear
power plants, nuclear missile silos, nuclear waste warehouses, uranium mines or
where are nuclear wastes, lost atomic weapons or atomic devices.

Discarding the
nuclear technology, the human conflicts and the climate disasters the most
known risky places of the planet to the human populations are marked in red.
These areas are the places of tectonic subduction and of plate encounters with
high population density and where earthquakes are very frequent and
occasionally of great magnitude. Possible areas of intracontinental frequent
earthquakes are not shown since this is a non totally well known phenomena.
