English: The Khorassan earthquake of 1968. A team of UNESCO experts was sent to the spot to study the damage in connection with design of earthquake-resistant buildings. Here, seismologists of the UNESCO mission study the after-shocks of the Khorassan earthquake, alongside the tent containing equipment linking to out stations by radio to the central recording unit. In this way, it is possible to take bearings and pin-point the source of the shocks deep underground.
Français : Séisme du Khorassan de 1968. Des experts de l'UNESCO ont été envoyés sur place pour examiner les dégâts et étudier en conséquence la possibilité de construire des bâtiments qui puissent résister aux tremblements de terre. Ici, des sismologues de la mission UNESCO étudient les secousses qui continuent à ébranler le sous-sol longtemps après les plus puissantes ondes de ohoc. A côté d'eux, une tente contenant l'équipement qui la relie par radio à deux autres et à l'unité centrale d’enregistrement. Il est ainsi possible de détecter et de localiser avec précision l’origine en profondeur des secousses.
