Record your answer from Lab Exercise #1, Step 1, Question 2. What time in hours:minutes:seconds GMT did the S waves arrive?

• This earthquake may not have released all of the strain stored in its rocks next to the fault this reveals a potential earthquake in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the near future. The occurrence of the earthquake showed that the Earth did not exhaust all its strain and hence other earthquakes could be expected. However, the dates could not be predicted. The extent of the damage could have been much more devastating for the region, but with the earthquake occurring near the coast this made half of the felt area westward in the Pacific Ocean. The occurrence of aftershocks ten days later reinforces the unpredictability nature and hence makes Geology to be a study that is always evolving. In conclusion, the Earth and the study of cannot be exhausted as every natural occurrence provides a new puzzle to be solved.

challenge is to improve the access controls to the SCADA networks. A solution will make it harder for an attacker to

Have you ever been in a deadly earthquake? In 2013, the people of the Philippines experienced one. A 7.1 magnitude earthquake that affected around 43,000 people with 2,211 aftershocks that ended up killing a total of 185 people. Earthquakes are known as one of the most dangerous natural disasters. This horrific event happened October 15th, 2013. The earthquake hit hardest in the central Philippines, it was reported to be caused by the East Bohol Fault. People act in a response to a natural disaster by gathering resources, spreading word, and government aid.

Introduction: - for my research project, I would like to explore about the cyber security measures. Cybersecurity covers the fundamental concepts underlying the construction of secure systems from the hardware to the software to the human computer interface, with the use of cryptography to secure interactions. These concepts are easily augmented with hands-on exercises involving relevant tools and techniques. We have different types of computer related crimes, cybercrimes, computer related offenses, federal approaches defenses. The information resources management has the technical matters for which IT are widely known. Cyber resources and cyber power as well as cyber security. We have spent a lot of time talking about many different high level critical infrastructure protection concepts we have general rule stayed away from cyber security explaining the ins and out of how the NIPP and NRF work together to ensure that we can live our daily live in relative comfort.

You were asleep, it was 5:12 am suddenly a huge shock came. This is what happened in the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. The 1906 earthquake in California affected many people and has been ranked as one of the worst earthquakes. Part of the importance today of the earthquake was its sheer size. It was 5:12 when a foreshock came and a bit later the earthquake happened it stretched as far as 80 kilometers or about 49 miles.

The tea cups that began to shatter were enough to wake Rose M. Quinn from her bed in the early morning hours of April 18, 1906. The earthquake that lasted just one minute was estimated to be close to 8.0 on the richter scale and was large enough to destroy 30,000 buildings, including her own home, in what was determined to be one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in U.S history. And while Ms.Quinn held out hope that her “City of the Golden West” would restore its nearly 400 million dollars worth of damage (10.8 billion dollars today), an even stronger and largely unknown earthquake rocked the United States just 100 years prior.

As the fifth largest healthcare provide in the nation, Allegiant Health has more than 60,000 employees, which provides inpatient and outpatient care to thousands of clients in 21 states. In San Francisco, where the healthcare provider is headquartered, the question of a large earthquake hitting the area is not if, but when. In the past, the area has experienced numerous catastrophic earthquakes. In 1906, an earthquake with an estimated magnitude 7.8, which occurred as a result of a rupture of 296 miles of the San Andreas fault (USGS and UC Berkeley, n. D), struck the greater San Francisco area causing wide spread damage and igniting fires that as damaging as the earthquake itself. The 1906 earthquake and resulting fire responsible for the

Every time the earth shakes or I see bubbles in a glass of tap water the question comes to mind, why? Growing up in California earthquakes are a common occurrence, people from other states joke about California falling off into the ocean. This is something most of us Californians have accepted and continue to wait for the big one to happen. As with earthquakes, I never gave a second thought about our drinking water until now. I find I question the taste of it and make sure the filters are changed out on a regular basis. Now reading and listening to the news reports about what’s happening in different parts of the world regarding Hydraulic Fracturing or Fracking and what it’s doing to the earth and ground water in those areas is disturbing.

The Arizona State University effectively relays the information from a research done to evaluate the use of fracking techniques in relation to the Texas earthquakes experienced in May of 2012. The research done by Shirzaei, Ellworth, Tiampo, Gonzalez, and Manga was done using InSAR a satellite-based radar, to learn the relation between the uplifting of the earth’s surface from the injection of fracking fluids to the seismic hazards it may cause.

In 1906 the most deadliest earthquake in the world shook the grounds of San Francisco California The earthquake was caused by a slip that of the San Andreas fault, over a segment about 275 miles long, and shock waves could be felt from southern Oregon down to Los The epicenter of this earthquake has moved around in the past 100 years, as advances in seismology has been made At first it was thought to have been Marin County but, most recently, in the Pacific Ocean about two miles west of San Francisco. The San Andreas Fault is on the boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. During the earthquake, the ground west tended to move northward in the most extreme instance a 21 foot shift upward was measured.

Miller Inc. which is in the business of providing data collection and analytics services relies majorly on network security to keep its competitive advantage. This is because the customers that rely on the company's system trust that since there are sufficient security measures that have been ensured, they can store their data securely. Each of the functional models of the system should have sufficient security measures to ensure that complete security of the whole system architecture is achieved. The three functional modules are the backend module, services or operation module and customer access module. The major relationship between infrastructure and security comes in the role they play to ensure that the end user gets the data that they need when they need it and in the best way possible. Therefore for the three modules, there is a need to balance security with the right infrastructure.

The earthquakes above give a brief glimpse into the importance of analyzing past and present fault configurations. If scientists could make a breakthrough in this area perhaps we could better predict earthquake activity and better prepare ourselves if it is deemed a potential disaster is looming.

In order to understand fault structure, there is a need to first understand fault complexity. Images of faults at depth and near surface reveal complexities that characterize properties such as geometry, composition and stress states of that fault’s structure. While this is true for both passive and induced imaging, a true passive source image is without the changes in fault structure due to any induced mechanism. This is something to consider when discussing fault complexity at near surface versus depth, as it is already difficult to distinguish the direction of complexity within a fault already. Current seismic research has been unable to understand if fault complexity is derived from a point at depth, or expands from surface complexity into depth. It is critical to understand the relationship between shallow and deep complexity in order to predict where that origin may have been and what caused its expansion. Passive source imaging has been able to help describe the factors that attribute to this complexity by providing a way to visually see subsurface data, but has not yet fully answered the complexity question.
