rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating. Earthquakes happen along vault lines like the San Andres Fault. A fault plane is the surface of a fault fracture along which the rocks have been displaced. An earthquake is measured by the Richter scale based off of the strength of its vibrations. The scale goes from 1 being the lowest to 10 being the highest. A ten would devastate any city or state even that would be so unfortunate to be a part of. These vibrations are measured by seismographs

how long it took each larva to go through metamorphosis and emerge as a butterfly. Based on the data that was recorded it looks like the larvae turned into butterflies twice as fast when exposed to a warmer climate than a cooler one. By the 9th day mostly all of larvae went through a metamorphosis in the warmer climate‚ it took 2 more days for the room temperature butterflies to hatch and another 4 days from that for the cooler ones to hatch. Metamorphosis is something that happens in insects and

Midterm 2 Essays Heart of darkness and Metamorphosis Both the novel Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad and the short story Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka signify and are about going beneath the surface. Although these books were written by different authors and published several years apart‚ they share numerous similarities in the overall message of the story. The heart of darkness is about imperialism and takes a step into telling a tale of individuals that embarked on the imperialistic journey from

Natural Calamities A natural calamity is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of‚ or effecting‚ the Earth; examples include floods‚ severe weather‚ volcanic eruptions‚ earthquakes‚ and other geologic processes. A natural calamity can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover. A natural calamity are the side effects or the after effects

Earthquakes An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth caused by underground volcanic action or by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface. The volcanic action and shifting rocks create strain which continues to build to a sudden release of pressure resulting in a shock wave. The vibrations produced in the crust can vary from barely noticeable to enormously destructive. Shock waves can be classified into two broad categories. Waves that send particles oscillating

Metamorphic rocks are originated within the earths crust. Metamorphic rocks are created when both pressure and heat meet at the right time. During metamorphosis the rocks do not melt the heat and pressure just change the make-up of the rock. There are two types of metamorphosis low grade and high grade. Low grade metamorphosis occurs at 400 degrees C and 400MPa‚ while high grade is anything above 400 degrees c and 400MPa. Once the temperature reaches a little over 600 degrees Celsius and over 600MPa

Otto von Bismarck’s government in Germany represented a new kind of conservatism in the nineteenth-century Europe that was willing to change traditional conservative beliefs to better lead modern society. Bismarck was a realpolitik‚ which means he chose political alliances that would boost Prussia and Germany significantly‚ rather than morally preferable ones. Bismarck was able to successfully unify and govern the German Empire because he believed in the application of modern-day tactics and the
