Houston‚ Seattle‚ and San Francisco have all experienced a fault shift. In the case of Houston‚ the likelihood of an earthquake is extremely low. The instances of a fault shift on that area of the North American Plate don’t occur often. Earthquakes that occur are not by normal means of plates shifting but from the process of fluid extraction (Fehling 19). Seattle on the other hand has a very high probability of an earthquake occurring. There are three different types of quakes that the city experiences

In the event that the development proceeds in light of current circumstances and course‚ in 10 million years‚ Los Angeles‚ presently at low scope‚ will have moved northward to the same scope as San Francisco. In 50 to 60 million years‚ Baja California and parts of California west of the San Andreas flaw will have turned out to be totally isolated from whatever is left of the North American Plate. As the Pacific Plate and the North

How did the governments in ancient times maintain order in society? Over 1000 years ago two societies on opposite sides of the globe adopted a system called Feudalism to maintain order.

After reading the DBQ is clear that Samurai and Knights have more differences than similarities. For example‚ some major

A historical perspective on Disney’s latest film "brother bear" This past weekend I saw the movie Brother Bear‚ it’s a new Disney movie and rated G. I have some trouble with the historical accuracy of the film and will be discussing that at great length. Sure it’s a children’s movie‚ but does that mean it’s ok to disregard historical accuracy? Perhaps the fact that it’s designed for children makes it even more important to keep it historically correct‚ after all children take things very literally

1. What is the ultimate cause of movement within the earth’s crust? ANSWERS: Radioactive decay generates the heat energy that powers movements of plates. 2. What causes earthquakes? ANSWERS: Friction between the rough edges of slowly moving segments or plates of the earth’s lithosphere result in a series of jerky starts and stops which is the direct cause of most earthquakes. 3. What is a fault? ANSWERS: Faults are fractures in rocks along which displacement has taken place 4

Practical guide to detection and identification of Phytophthora Leaf blight A number of Phytophthora species cause leaf blight. These include: P. infestans on potato and tomato; P. palmivora on a large number of tropical fruit species including rubber‚ durian and macadamia; and P. colocasiae on taro. These blights on leaves are first seen as small flecks but within 3-5 days they expand to produce large lesions. Initially‚ infected tissue is water soaked but becomes necrotic (brown or black) in

1.1- Introduction Availability of natural resources and their proper application to overall development activities is the key factor for the economic growth of any nation. Bangladesh‚ though it is a small country of about 143‚998 sq km‚ has a number of mineral resources within its territory. The mineral resources so far discovered are mineral fuels (oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ peat)‚ hard rock‚ limestone‚ white clay‚ glass sand and heavy mineral sands. It was previously assumed that the geological setting of
