The film The Wave‚ showed how absolute power can corrupt absolutely‚ and to an extent anyone could become become the second Hitler if given enough power. Ben Ross‚ a history teacher at Gordon High School in 1969‚ was upset that he couldn’t answer one of his student’s questions so he decided to research the topic. The question pertained to the fact that ninety percent of Germans that were not a part of the Nazi Party were allowing the genocide to happen. Mr. Ross decided to create an experiment that

Introduction Mistakenly called "tidal wave" the word tsunami is a Japanese word meaning‚ "harbor wave". A tsunami is a series of traveling ocean waves of extremely long length generated by disturbances associated primarily with earthquakes occurring below or near the ocean floor. Tsunamis are primarily the result of a vertical displacement of water and rank high on the scale of natural disasters. Since 1850‚ tsunamis have been responsible for the loss of over 440‚000 lives and billions of dollars

Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down

The Reality of Globalization: Friend or Foe? Globalization is a key element in the modern political atmosphere. The increased interdependency of nations in the last half century has spawned both positive and negative trends. Nations’ increasing reliance on one another’s natural resources and labor are making the world smaller politically‚ socially‚ and economically. The isolationist policies that the United States and so many other countries endorsed at the dawn of the twentieth century are

Seismic waves‚ which are waves of energy that travel through the earth‚ and are a result of an earthquake‚ explosion‚ or a volcano that imparts low-frequency acoustic energy. There are two types of seismic waves‚ Body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel through the interior of the earth. Surface waves travel along the earth’s surface and through water. Seismic wave fields are measured by a seismograph‚ geophone‚ hydrophone or accelerometer. These are used to measure earthquakes. When

Ocean Waves A wave is a periodic disturbance in space and time‚ possibly transferring energy to or through a space-time region. Have you ever ridden a wave in the ocean? Ocean waves travel on the surface of the water. You can see them and you can feel them. As you swim through the water‚ you can even make your own waves. The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water‚ through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules

sound waves Sound is a series of compression waves that moves through air or other materials. These sound waves are created by the vibration of an object‚ like a radio loudspeaker. The waves are detected when they cause a detector to vibrate. Your eardrum vibrates from sound waves to allow you to sense them. Sound has the standard characteristics of any waveform. Sound is a waveform that travels through matter. Although it is commonly in air‚ sound will rapidly travel
