    deep-sea giantism, bioluminescence, transparant skins, large mouths, large teeth, large stomachs, large eyes, slow metabolic rates, lateral lines, hermaphroditism, and chemosynthesis. Scientists are still searching in the deep-sea because for organisms still not discovered. All of these adaptions contribute to the survival of deep-sea creatures in the low pressure, temperature, and low food source environment.

    is like ripples in the water but those ripples are about 10 times the size, plus the waves can go through the earth and hit outer parts of the earth on the other side. Yet, because of different types of materials, the waves will never pass straight through the earth. The thing that powers plate tectonics is convection currents. The crust (the farthest and the outer-est layer of the earth and the one we know and love because it is helping us not to die) and the upper part of the mantle (that is a

    Australia is one of the oldest continents in the world and during its history has been covered in ice caps and had hot, dry periods where much was desert. It therefore has been subject to a multitude of lateral transport mechanisms throughout geological time. Water Continual overland flow of water causes the appearance of a stream, in this flowing body of water there are three main ways in which particles are transported; creep, saltation and suspension. The larger sediments (pebbles, cobles and

    This common foundaiton issue is also a sign that your foundation is settling due to hydrostatic pressure in the ground. Hydrostatic pressure is often caused by excess groundwater, causing your foundation to bow and eventually crack over time. In order to repair your bowing walls and prevent further damage, Jerry's Waterproofing can install helical tiebacks. Our tiebacks are made by Earth Contact Products - the leading manufacturer in the underpinning industry. So you're not only getting

    The whole structure collapses if they fail, therefore proper care should be taken while constructing them. The ways of protecting walls are: • Reinforcing the walls with the help of concrete bands and vertical reinforcing bars and lateral ties. • For improving the lateral load resistance of long walls, buttresses should be provided. • Using Ferro-cement plating around the exterior perimeter if horizontal bands could not be provided. • Undesirable openings near the corner to be closed so as to improve

    between the reinforced soil and sub grade is low and the retaining wall can simply slid side way. Figure2.4.b: Sliding failure. • Overturning Overturning is the most common failure mode for retaining wall. The horizontal earth pressures behind wall exceed the capacity of geogrid to restrain. The wall will rotate forward pivoting on its base. Figure2.4.c: Overturning failure. • Using anchor in retaining wall will help to reduce the thickness of reinforcement
