THRUST • The force acting on a body perpendicular to its surface is called thrust. • Thrust is the total force acting on the surface of the body. • Thrust per unit area is pressure Pressure = Thrust Area S.I unit of pressure is N/m2 or Pascal EVERYDAY OBSERVATIONS RELATED TO PRESSURE: • School bags have wide straps so that the weight of the bag falls over a large area of the shoulder producing less pressure on the shoulder. Due to this less pressure

of thrust and strike-slip faults. To the northern edge lies the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga thrust fault system. To the north and east are the San Jacinto and San Andreas right-lateral strike-slip fault systems. Studies have shown that California’s earthquake zones are more complex and lethal than once thought. Southern California lies on four major faults: San Andreas‚ San Jacinto‚ Sierra Madre‚ and the Cucamonga fault. The San Jacinto and San Andreas faults are right-lateral strike-slip fault systems;

It is 197‚000 acres within the Mojave Desert. The canyon is one of several in the state with the name Red Rock‚ this one is located on the east side of Spring Mountain‚ the flat land rises to a great colorful escarpment‚ formed along a fault zone (the Keystone Thrust) with several peaks over 8‚000 feet‚ and including huge cliffs and ravines composed of bands of gray Paleozoic carbonates‚ white and red Jurassic sandstone‚ all heavily eroded. The wide empty plains beneath the hills are studded with Joshua

and meanwhile the media had called it “The Northridge Earthquake”. The National Geophysical Data Centre places the hypocenters geographical whereabouts in an area proximity to the San Andreas Fault but this didn’t cause the actual incident but actually happened because of an undiscovered blind thrust fault. Aftermath Damage went covered an area up to 85 miles away‚ with much of the damage in the west cities of the San Fernando Valley. It is speculated that around 57 people died as the result

(Housner) The buildings would not shake violently as the film depicts‚ but are engineered and built to sway slowly with the quakes. Outside of California‚ the Hoover dam would also fare much better than the film depicts. The film gives us an unknown fault line destroying the dam in a spectacular explosion like collapse. First of all‚ structurally the dam can and does hold up to earthquakes. (Sasaki‚ Uesaka and Nagayama) Even if there were a direct significant earthquake that hit the dam‚ it would crack
Premium Earthquake Fault
sudden release of energy in the Earth’s Crust that creates Seismic Waves. It caused by faulting‚ a sudden lateral or vertical movement of rock along a rupture (break) surface. There are three main types that may cause an earthquake: normal‚ reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. So the question is…….If ever an Earthquake will surprise you tomorrow‚ next next day‚ next week‚ next month or next year are you prepared? Or much better‚ how prepared you are?

1. The ALS Accreditation & Equivalency Test formerly known as the Non-formal Education A&E Test is a paper and pencil test. The test is designed to measure the competencies of those who have not finished either the formal elementary or secondary education. Passers of this test are given a certificate/diploma certifying their competencies as comparable to graduates of the formal school system. Hence‚ they are qualified to enroll in high school (for elementary level passers) and to enroll in college
