Earthquake in Chile On September 17th‚ 2015 a powerful earthquake that shook Chile. It was said to have a magnitude of 8.5‚ killing about 5 people‚ injuring many‚ and destroying hundreds of homes‚ businesses‚ and land mass. Along with the damage came the after mass of power loss‚ damage‚ and flooding along with tsunamis. There were 12 aftershocks that could be felt 145 miles away from the originating site. Chile is known to have earthquakes‚ but none have compared to this one. Since 1973‚ Chile has had

Empire existed alongside the Romans with many comparable achievements in influence and scale. While the fall of the Romans is documented fairly well‚ certainly a result of being split into two separate entities with separate records. However; the collapse‚ or rather‚ disappearance of the Sassanid Empire is quite a bit more difficult to determine. How did such a prominent power as the Sassanid Empire disappear in such an abrupt manner? Many scholars have attempted to address this question‚ with a good

Graphene replaced with copper Graphene nanoribbons have a current-carrying capacity two orders of magnitude higher than copper Recent research into the properties of graphene nanoribbons provides two new reasons for using the material for interconnects in future computer chips. In widths as narrow as 16 nm‚ graphene has a current-carrying capacity approximately a thousand times greater than copper while providing improved thermal conductivity. The current-carrying and heat-transfer measurements

( The door slams behind her leaving her in complete darkness) This is not happening. Not to me. I can’t believe this. Not even a tiny beam of light. Why there are no windows in this basement? Is it too hard to place one tiny little window in some basement‚ in case of these kinds of situations? (Pause) Situations like what? How on earth would anyone have thought that someone would try to go down here knowing the door is broken and the lights are out. Well‚ now they have an excellent example. Oh

The discovery of copper does not have an exact date. Copper is said to be a prehistoric element. This element was said to be first discovered around 8000BC. The ancient civilizations started to take the copper out of the ore they found around 4000BC. This is when copper started to be put to good use. Early civilizations discovered that copper is malleable and is sharp. They realized they could make copper into tools and weapons. This was easier than the stone that they were originally using. This

The factors that lead to the "collapse" of civilizations are almost directly related to those that created it. Archaeologists characterize collapse by a number of elements‚ some of which we have evidence for‚ others we do not. Most archaeologists are unsure of exactly what caused the decline of most civilizations in the ancient world‚ yet there are many clues to some of the events that could have contributed. The collapse of the ancient Roman Empire‚ the Mesoamerican Mayan‚ and the Egyptian cultures
