EOSC 114 – Final Review Notes Get A’s or die trying. Jason Kim Unit 1: A Fragile System At least 3 earthquake recording stations are required to find the location of the earthquake epicenter. A single recording station can only calculate distance, but not direction; to cover all possibilities, a complete circle is drawn around that station. If only two earthquake recording stations are used, the circles will overlap at two points. Data from a third recording station will eliminate one of these points. Explain what density is & how it relates to stratification. Density = mass/volume; how much mass fits into a space. Unit: kg/m3 3 Stratification = less-dense materials float on top of denser materials This is found in the …show more content…
1. Hazards can be predicted through scientific analysis Scientific method used Predicted by Identifying location, finding probability, looking for precursor events, forecasting, warning 2. Risk analysis is an important element in understand the effects of hazards Risk = probability * consequences 3. Linkages among different hazards exist 4. Damage from natural disasters is increasing 5. 6. Damage and loss of life can be minimized Explain (with examples) how energy conservation applies to natural disasters. Energy is conserved when it changes form. Most sources of energy are diffuse: weak, but cover a wide area Disasters generally have a concentration of energy into a small area Describe relationships between force, pressure, stress, strain, energy, and power. Power: work/consuming energy per second = measured in watts Pressure: force per unit surface area applied perpendicular to a surface Stress: force per unit area applied parallel to a surface Stress tends to strain deform objects Describe population n growth and explain why it is important for natural disasters. Population growth was
16. Plot the earthquake data from the region associated with the Tonga Trench from Table 1 on the left section of the graph paper, using a dot to represent each data point.

While most kids attend public schools to receive an education, there are some people who choose to have their kids home schooled. There are many reasons for parents to choose either way for their children to receive their education. In my essay, I will show that there are similarities and differences between the two methods I will show how either option equally as good as the other.
From the figure I know that the earthquake is farther from Berkley, CA than Seattle, WA. I do know that the earthquake must be within the two intersecting circles.
Determining the distance along the Earth's surface from a seismic station to the epicenter of an earthquake is based on the difference in arrival times between
two major tribes were the Ostrogoth’s and the Lombard’s where power shifted several times, And the
With the objective to craft a policy package that would guarantee certainty in sentencing and controlling corrections costs while protecting and improving public safety, the task force forwarded its outcomes and 19 policy recommendations to the Mississippi Legislature in December 2013. The approvals for House Bill 585 were signed into legislation and introduced to prevent the anticipated prison growth over the next 10 years. By saving Mississippi taxpayers $266 million in operating costs while safely reducing the prison population below current levels, a successful probation and parole intervention was executed. The law also allowed the reallocation of The Department of Corrections transition from prisons
• 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.
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the movie called “Steel Magnolias” (1989) directed by Herbert Ross.
As a child, I would image what my life would be like when I became a teacher. In this paper I will explore different developmentally appropriate approaching philosophies, theories, and concepts when teaching math, reading, science and the fine arts to young children across a developmental curriculum. Having to gain knowledge from the early childhood text helped me to create what I consider to be the perfect classroom plan. Preschool education is very important because this is their first experience towards twelve years of grade school. The knowledge they gather will increase as they grow and development.
14. The application data is encrypted by symmetric key encryption algorithm. The pre-master key and nonces from the client and the server generate the symmetric encryption keys to choose the algorithm in the handshake phase.
I am requesting that the court make addendum to the magistrate’s report enter on 19Dec16, these addendums are essential due to the manner in which this case has progressed, clear and precise guidelines has to be addressed to limit the ability of the respondent to interpret or disrupt the court ordered agreement.
SaaS, Software as a Service is the software, which is being deployed and provided over the Cloud environment (Grance, 2009). It represents one of the biggest Cloud markets and is growing exponentially fast (Rouse, 2016). The web is being used so that applications can be delivered, which are thoroughly managed and organized by a third party vendor and whose interface is undeniably accessed on the client’s side. The majority of the SaaS applications can be run directly from a web browser, needless of any downloads or installations. Some plugin’s requirement would be there, though. Blaming to the web delivery model, there is a well-noted eradication of the need for installation and process of application’s running on individual computers by SaaS. Some imminent examples of SaaS are: Google Apps, Salesforce, Workday, Concur, Citrix GoToMeeting, and Cisco WebEx
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.
It’s recognized as the second deadliest earthquake in New Zealand following the 7.8 Hawkes bay Earthquake (Kaiser et al, 2012). The earthquake was first thought to be an aftershock of the 7.1 Darfield earthquake of September 2010 at the eastern edge. This was an area that originally was of a low earthquake occurrence rate since prior to 2011 there was no knowledge of a fault’s existence thus catching the New Zealand citizens off-guard. The Christchurch earthquake resulted in 185 casualties affecting more than 300,000 people (Kaiser et al, 2012). The earthquake first made contact with in the South Islands, only 10 km away from the center of Christchurch. Ground motions were unusually large near Christchurch measuring 2.2 g and 1.7g at the epicenter, the point directly above
