LANDSLIDE A landslide is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement‚ such as rockfalls‚ deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows‚ which can occur in offshore‚ coastal and onshore environments. Although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur‚ there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope stability. Typically‚ pre-conditional factors build up specific sub-surface conditions that make the area/slope prone to

But‚ deny as you might‚ a frank evaluation of life will reveal a startling conclusion‚ that many many situations boil down to these basics: bully‚ victim‚ bystander. Now why is that? Well‚ you -- like every other living thing on this planet -- are just a big carbon-based (instead of silicon-based) computer. You are a painstakingly intricate vessel meant to accomplish one thing and one thing alone. You are to carry a code

There are a few reasons why the South lost the Civil War. One reason is that the North not only outmanned the South but also at almost every point‚ militarily. The South was also outclassed industrially. If it was not for European recognition and military aid the South would have never had a chance to win. Industrially the South could not keep up in out put and in manpower. By the end of the war the South had‚ more or less‚ plenty of weaponry still‚ but it just did not have enough men to use the

On April 18‚ 1906 at 5:12 AM a earthquake and fire developed in San Francisco that only lasted seconds‚ but yet it destroyed ¾ of the city including 300‚000 homes and 38‚000 buildings at the end. Much of the destruction that day was caused by the fire that the earthquake started that is why people today call it “the great Fire of 1906.” During the earthquake the head of the city’s fire department passed away when the chimney of his home collapsed on top of him. In addition to this tragic incident

Due to my extensive research‚ I can conclude that; San Francisco is too dangerous for us to move our headquarters to‚ and I can conclude this due to studying the earthquake of 1906. This earthquake as I have been mentioning; happened in 1906‚ but the
