Unit1 Review_Short Questions & Answers Topic1 1. Why are people who live on coastal beaches so poorly aware or concerned about hazards in those environments? * Most of them‚ including developers‚ real estate people‚ and governmental employees‚ have never experienced a hurricane or major flood. [pp. 1‚ 9] 2. What kind of natural hazards are not normally insurable? * landslides‚ ground settling‚ or swelling soils [p. 8] 3. Why do many coastal communities not educate visitors and new

epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the earthquake’s focus. P waves compress and expand the ground they travel through‚ whereas S waves thrust the ground from side to side and up and down. S waves are not as fast as P waves‚ and they cannot travel through liquids as P waves can. A tiltmeter measures vertical movement along a fault. Tiltmeters work much like a carpenter’s level. They consist of two bulb containing liquid. A scale allows scientists to determine any changes in to volume

Earthquakes happen because of volcanic activity and tectonic movements. It results to fault rupture‚ tsunami‚ ground shaking‚ liquefaction‚ landslide and fire. Faults- fractures where earthquake originates‚ there are different types of fault: strike slip‚ normal and thrust. Active faults move up & down while trenches move toward each other. The Valley Fault System has two segments‚ the East Valley Fault the West Valley Fault which covers Quezon‚ Marikina‚ Pasig‚ Makati‚ Pateros‚ Taguig and Muntinlupa. It

plates move along a fault between them .New Zealand lies at the interface of the Pacific Plate and the Indo-Australian tectonic plates. There is a thrust fault which is linked with the plate boundary between the Pacific and Australian plates which meets in the centre of South Island. The epicentre was 6 miles South East of Christchurch and the focus was very shallow at 3.1 miles. The earthquake is related to the pressure exerted between the two great plates‚ of which the Alpine Fault is the most explicit

at a depth of 13 km (a shallow earthquake (focus at a depth of 0-70km)). The epicenter was near the town of Léogâne. The earthquake is blamed on the movement of the Caribbean tectonic plate eastward along the Enriquillo-Plantian Garden strike-slip fault system.

Fate is responsible for many events‚ such as the tragedy of Oedipus. Although some people may lay the fault on others‚ they were really just part of fate’s plans all along. Jocasta and Laius‚ a queen and King from ancient Greece‚ found out they were to have a son. But they did not know from the moment Jocasta became pregnant‚ fate had plans for their son. Before he was even born Oedipus was destined to kill his father and marry his mother. Despite his parent’s attempt to kill him as a baby

Jaesung Lee Geography 1 Professor Thomas Orf Chapter 14 Questions 1) The first evidence Wegner was able to find was the remarkable number of close affinities of geologic features on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. He found the continental margins of the subequatorial portions of Africa and South America fit together with jigsaw-on-like precision. He also determined that the petrologic records on both sides of the Atlantic show many distributions- such as ancient coal deposits-that would

usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other‚ they stick a little. The epicenter was determined to be between Arminta St. and Ingomar St. just west of Reseda Blvd. The earthquake occurred on a previously undiscovered fault‚ now named the Northridge blind thrust fault. “The death toll was 57‚ with more than 5‚000 injured.
