    thought processes‚ and this may be either critical or creative. The two areas of knowledge I will be addressing are Natural sciences and the arts. The definition of critical thinking is to “judge” and thus implies the use of logical reasoning using convergent thinking. While creative thinking implies the opposite‚ using a divergent approach which will tend to reach a variety of possible results. Creative thinking is “producing” ‚ like producing alternatives and therefore expanding the field of discussion

    amount and intensity of vibrations in the earthquake will be. The reason that Los Angeles is prone to an earthquake at any given time is because the center of the city is located directly above a group of thrust faults. These faults occur at convergent boundaries. It is also located closely the fault known as the San Andreas Fault‚ which has produced some of the largest earthquakes the world has ever seen. Thrust faults can give way to immense pressure‚ which will cause one slab of rock to push against
