The legend of Atlantis‚ the lost continent described in a story written by Plato around 360 B.C.‚ has inspired heated speculation for many centuries. In modern times‚ public interest in the subject has been accompanied by imaginary proposals that stretch Atlantis well beyond the boundaries of Plato’s story. Nowadays‚ it’s quite difficult to distinguish Atlantis facts from Atlantis fiction. The documentary by the History channel called “Atlantis: Searching for the Lost World of Atlantis” starts

The San Andreas Fault is a conservative boundary between two major plates of the Earth’s crust: the Pacific to the south and west and the North American to the north and east. The Pacific plate is sliding laterally past the North American plate in a northerly direction‚ and hence the San Andreas is classified as a strike-slip fault. The annual rate of movement has been 4 to 6 cm per year since the early

He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would

AN EARTHQUAKE IN AUSTRALIA Australia has a relatively low rate of seismicity due to its location towards the centre of the Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate. Earthquake activity is much higher around the margins of the Indo-Australian Plate‚ for example In places such as Indonesia‚ Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. Nevertheless‚ many historic earthquakes have Occurred in Australia and Geosciences Australia’s database (QUAKES) contains information on tens of thousands Of historic earthquakes in the

are abrupt movements on the ocean floor that can result from an earthquake. Tsunamis are most often caused when an earthquake causes the seafloor to rise or fall. Earthquakes happen when two tectonic plates collide into each other at a plate boundary. The denser plate is subducted under the other plate‚ which leads to a rise or fall of the sea floor. This movement of the seafloor will cause a rapid vertical displacement of water‚ and waves of a tsunami would form. As the wave approaches the coastline

The SAF is located in Northern California‚ and extends to Cajon Pass in the San Bernardino Mountains.

What is the potential for future earthquakes in the Los Angeles area? Earthquakes are started at the Earth’s crust. Our planet is made up of different plates which float on a layer of molten material or magma much like potato chips would float on top of a bowl of water. Scientists believe there could be as many as 12 plates that make
