Importance Of Subpixel Significance Of Image Correlance

The earthquake occurred on the 12th of January 2010, a slip along the conservative boundary situated along Haiti caused a significant earthquake with subsequent damaging aftershocks. As can be seen in figure 1 the shaking intensity was strongest at the epicentre of the

Next, it is necessary to identify the land that is possibly flooded and this can be calculated as:

Tiny dots of white against the plant-covered landscape (red in this image) are possible landslides, a common occurrence in mountainous terrain after large earthquakes. The Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone runs along the two linear valleys at the top of the imageThe magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake occurred inland,

Little Cottonwood Canyon is a site bursting with geological history, rock formations earthquake potential on the fault, prehistoric glacial formations, landslides, and many hazards associated with it. The Wasatch fault is bound to have a enormous earthquake in the future and has left behind numerous scars. The mountains have been engraved by glacial formations dated back to the Ice Age (~14,000 years ago). Rock falls and landslides have left hefty boulders as indication of erosion and moisture in the rocks. The hazards on this mountain range are mass wasting, radon, earthquakes, and flooding of Little Cottonwood Creek.

In the LULC/Soil/Slope tool box, the last option is slope tab. User has to select to number of slope classes for the watershed. Two options are available to define the slope discretization in the slope definition tool box. First one is single slope and second one is multiple slopes. If user select single slope in the tool box, it creates slope range class 0-999%, if user selects multiple slopes, the tool allows to create 5 classes. For the kaddam watershed five slope classes has been selected in the tool box. The classes are 1) 0-5% 2) 5-10% 3) 10-15% 4) 15-35% and 5) 35-9999%. The slope map of the kaddam shown in the

If they do not, but are within the acceptable margin of error of ±20√4=±40’’, each angle is corrected to create a sum of 360˚. For this project, the angles added to 360˚ 00’ 10’’. After each angle is corrected, angle 412 is 78˚31’03’’, angle 123 is 99˚01’23’’, angle 234 is 92˚32’21’’, and angle 341 is 89˚53’13’’. After using the Total Station, the Auto level is used to measure the elevations of each point. The known elevation outside of Powell is 380’. The Auto level is placed between each point to measure the backsight and foresight. Once all the points are measured, all the backsights and foresights can be measured with the difference taken to find the error. With this project, the error was -0.128’. Next, the pacing between each point must be taken to find the correction for each elevation with the equation, (distance from known elevation/total level network distance) X total error. The total pacing for the project is 235 steps with a pace of 2.31 feet per step. After the corrections, point 4 is 379.384’, point 3 is 378.182’, point 2 is 379.093’, and point 1 is 379.645’. A transit is used to find the true north from the magnetic

Another important thing to mention in this picture is the vegetation that is growing on top of the cliff since it is so close to the coastal line. This picture is only a glimpse into what surrounds these cliffs since there are many different landmarks and lithosphere actions considering it is close to the san andreas fault, the monteray bay fault and the palo calorado

Erosion continues to alter the geology of Yosemite Valley, causing many alterations in the landscape. Erosion causes frost wedging, which is an occurrence of when water freezes and expands in the crack of rocks, which wedge them and break them apart. Also, earthquakes are relatively common in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range and tend to also play an important role in the changing landscape of Yosemite Valley. The most considerable form of erosion that is acting on Yosemite right now is rock falls. While most of them are pretty insignificant, large rockfalls prove to be catastrophic and help to sculpt Yosemite

At Laurel Hill Duke Forest there is a large granodiorite cliff adjacent to a river on one side. This cliff is not smooth and has several parallel fractures instead of one steep slope. Observations of this cliff were taken in order to gather data and find possible explanations for why this cliff is where it is located and why the river adjacent to it follows a V-shaped path. One observation was that the range of the strikes and dips of the fractures facing river were all near parallel ranging from strike of 170-190 degrees and dips ranging from 70-90 degrees. There were other fractures oriented differently on other sides of the outcrop. Also, the surface of the outcrop was highly weathered in some parts where the rock type was not distinguishable without using a rock hammer and had moss growing over it.

In the United States alone, landslides are estimated to cause 25 to 50 deaths and over one billion dollars in damage every year (Landslides 101). Landslides may be caused by natural factors or man-made events. Natural factors include over steepened slopes created through erosion caused by rivers, heavy rains or snowmelt saturation slopes and

The blast was preceded by two months of intense activity that included over 10,000 earthquakes, hundreds of small phreatic (steam blasts) , explosions and the north side bulge. A magnitude 5.1 earthquake below the volcano at 8:32 am started the eruption. MSH is still a potentially dangerous and active volcano even though it has been quiet since 1995. In the last 515 years there have been four major eruptions and dozens of lesser eruptions. Two of the eruptions were only two years apart. In 1480, the eruption was about five times larger than the one in May 1980. There have been even larger eruptions during MSH' 50,000 year lifetime. After the May 18, 1980 eruption, there have been five smaller explosive eruptions over a five month period. Since then, there have been 16 dome building eruptions through October 1986 when the new dome in the crater was formed. As the mountain was torn open, the pressure in inside was suddenly relieved. The rock shattered inside the mountain was exploded out the top at speeds over 200 miles per hour. The blast was so strong that it leveled whole forest of fir trees. Geologist call this a "stone wind" since the winds carried the rocks form the blast with them. The rocks gave the winds extra force that let them flatten the trees. 150 square miles of land was leveled. The edges of this area also lost their forested areas from the heat of the blast and the fires it caused. The original blast of the

USGS (U.S. geographical Survey) scientists continue to assist with ongoing monitoring of hazards and possible future impacts. They now know that the Oso landslide’s average speed was 40mph. covering approximately ½ square mile with 18 million tons of sand, silt and clay. The landslide caused a dam t form in the North Folk Stillaguamish River which I

The researchers used a multimethodological approach in order to gain the data that was needed to form the conclusion and other studies were referenced in order to add to the findings of this study.

This field photo was taken in Location C, 19° north, 73° east, and this can be seen through the physical geography of Location C. First, the physical features of Location C prove that this picture was taken in Location C. Location C's physical features include the western coast of India, and the elevation is 0-1,000 feet. This picture shows that it is raining very hard and the streets are flooded. One can infer that since Location C is on the western coast of India and has a low elevation, floods are prone to this location. Also, since Location A is located in a desert and deserts do not have high populations or this much rain, this picture cannot have been taken in Location A. This photo could not have been taken in Location B either because

* Measurements of Geologic uplift and slip rates – in many areas of the San Andreas Fault a detailed record of strike-slip activity is provided. By studying the sediments deposited in a given area and comparing them to an established age control it is possible to determine the rates and timing of changes of tectonic deformation.
