The book The Fault In Our Stars is about a teenager named Hazel Grace Lancaster who is a cancer survivor who falls for a boy named Augustus Waters that she meets at a support group where kids with or who have survived cancer go. Hazel who has had cancer in her lungs and Augustus who has one leg became interested in each other the first day there‚ through their friend Isaac who has cancer in his eyes. They quickly become friends and share everything with each other‚ Hazel gives Augustus her favorite

Houston‚ Seattle‚ and San Francisco have all experienced a fault shift. In the case of Houston‚ the likelihood of an earthquake is extremely low. The instances of a fault shift on that area of the North American Plate don’t occur often. Earthquakes that occur are not by normal means of plates shifting but from the process of fluid extraction (Fehling 19). Seattle on the other hand has a very high probability of an earthquake occurring. There are three different types of quakes that the city experiences

Explain why the Philippines and California are affected by disasters in different ways California is a state on the west coast of the USA and the Philippines is an island country in Southeast Asia in the western Pacific Ocean. They are both considered hazard hotspots and frequently experience natural disasters. A natural disaster is the realisation of a hazard. California is an MEDC‚ the 6th largest economy in the world with a GDP of US$65000 per capita. However‚ despite the high risk of hazards

can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault. Even though these faults are not as well-known as the San Andreas Fault‚ where it margins are between the Pacific and North American plates that cross Southern California. Los Angeles is sitting near at least 60 known faults. The earth still moves frequently in these smaller less known areas. One example of this

tectonics--the motion of immense rigid plates at the surface of the Earth in response to flow of rock within the Earth. The plates cover the entire surface of the globe. Since they are all moving they rub against each other in some places (like the San Andreas Fault in California)‚ sink beneath each other in others (like the Peru-Chile Trench along the western border of South America)‚ or spread apart from each other (like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge). At such places the motion isn’t smooth--the plates are stuck together

brainstorming session and the intended outcome. Members of the brainstorming team should be the one most familiar with the problems in the organization. The number of risk discussed during a session should be limited to ten because going past ten faults could lead to redundancy but always remember it is better to have more than ten risks because you never want to be in a position where you are not identifying enough risk (Cooper‚ Grey‚ Raymond‚ & Walker‚ 2005‚ Pg. 39).

There fire department was efficient but the water pipes that go down the San Andreas Fault were severed. The fire could not be stopped because there were now water until the next couple of days.

Pacific plate and the North American plate are the components. There are separated by a transform fault‚ known as the San Andreas Fault. The Pacific plate is moving north comparative to the North American plate however the fault is not smooth and so friction between the plates occur causing plates to lock. The continued pressure created by the movement of the plates around these locked portions of the fault causes the crust in these areas to denature‚ building up in elastic potential energy. When the

(b) Explain the principles of FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) Fault tree analysis is one of many symbolic "analytical logic techniques" found in operations research and in system reliability. In many cases there are multiple causes for an accident or other loss-making event. Fault tree analysis is one analytical technique for tracing the events which could contribute. It can be used in accident investigation
