easier. The one thing man can't do is to control Mother Nature. Mother Nature can cause many things such as earthquakes. The causes of earthquakes have been theorized in many ways. According to the book Predicting Earthquakes by Gregory Vogt, the Greeks, "blamed the earthquakes on Poseidon, god of the sea"(25). The Hindu believed that "the earth was a platform that rested on the back of eight great elephants. When one of the elephants grew weary, it lowered and shook its head causing the ground above

The term earthquake comes from the Greek term for “shaking.” An earthquake is a visible rip across the Earth’s surface due to a release of energy and stored stress in the Earth’s crust and causes seismic waves. Earthquakes have been around since the time of the earliest civilizations. Earthquakes used to be compared to the “unrest of spiritual beings.” Specifically, Aristotle and the Ancient Greeks stated that earthquakes were the result of the “underground winds”. The earliest earthquakes were recorded
ABSTRACT: Waste polythene primarily in the form of used polythene bags, comprises of most of the plastic pollution caused in India. Many processes have been developed to combat this issue which includes pyrolysis and catalytic cracking. This paper states an experiment that was carried out using catalytic cracking using Zeolite (ZSM-5). The catalyst in presence of heat helped to break down the polymer molecules. The experiment gave a product which consisted of 80% grease. The obtained product
International Demographic Paper: Italy Maribeth Newton SOCY 2100 November 20, 2014 1. Introduction Italy is the 72nd largest country. Italy’s border countries are Austria, France, Vatican City, San Marino, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Italy’s main natural hazard is volcanoes. Italy’s main environmental issue is the pollution of the air caused by industrial emissions. Some of the consequences of those issues are: sulfur dioxide, acid rain and insufficient industrial waste treatment. Italy has
ABSTRACT In this paper, the great dispute of whether or not there is real evidence of life on martian meteorites is discussed. Findings of carbon globules, nanocrystal magnetites, and rod-shaped objects on ALH84001, Nakhla and Yamata 593 suggest biogenic processes once occurred on Mars. Furthermore, past atmospheric conditions and a current abundance of methane gas build more justification to martian life. Many of these discoveries are accused of being accounted for by either terrestrial contamination
is usually found near petroleum. Oil is then transported to refineries and distilled into fuel or base chemical products. Natural gas is pumped from below ground and travels in pipelines to storage areas. Natural gas is used to make steel, glass, paper, clothing, brick, electricity and also as an essential raw material for many daily products. Some products that use natural gas as a raw material are paints, plastics, dyes, photographic film, medicines, and

consequently our accumulated human and economic losses are increasing. Much of this exposure is a matter of choice. Sometimes people choose hazardous places, building houses on picturesque cliffs, on mountain slopes, in floodplains, near beautiful volcanoes, or along seismic faults. Sometimes people choose hazardous building materials that fail under extreme environmental stresses—for example, unreinforced masonry construction in seismically active areas. Some exposure results from constrained choices;
