8.0 earthquake sinks the ocean Ice Shelf falls apart again Ward Hunt. Rallies are a joke

Published: August 23, 2010 from Barkley32002 Noticing a Magnitude-8.0 Earthquake Months Later Noticing a Magnitude-8.0 Earthquake Months Later To the amazement of seismologists, they missed a magnitude-8.0 earthquake last year. "It is sort of shocking," said Thorne Lay, a professor of earth and planetary sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who led a team that uncovered the seismic fingerprints months later. "If we hadn't done the careful analysis, we would have missed it." Magnitude-8 earthquakes are known as great earthquakes for their ferocious destructive power, and networks of seismometers can pinpoint much smaller earthquakes. In this case, however, the great earthquake was hidden by a greater quake. The greater earthquake, of magnitude 8.1, struck Sept. 29, 2009, off the Samoa Islands in the Pacific. That in itself was a surprise to seismologists, because there have not been any known magnitude-8 earthquakes around the Tonga trench, where the Pacific plate slips beneath the Australian plate, leading seismologists to believe that the fault there is well lubricated and does not build up enough stress to generate great earthquakes. Still, the two tectonic plates are speeding toward each other there faster than anywhere else in the world, some 10 inches a year. The resulting tsunami, which swept into Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga, killing more than 100 people, also puzzled scientists. The magnitude-8.1 earthquake did not occur at the plate boundary ...

Indian peacekeepers during Haiti’s earthquake Part 2

The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a catastrophic magnitude 7.0 Mw earthquake, with an epicentre near the town of Léogâne. The earthquake occurred at 16:53 local time on January 12, 2010. An estimated three million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian Government reported that an estimated 230000 people had died, 300000 had been injured and 1000000 made homeless. Betwa Sharma has traveled the earthquake-hit nation and filed this report.

space ships can't tame the jungle and I feel like I'm giving in we've been drivin thru a desert looking for a life to call our own I push I pull the days go slow into a void we filled with death and noise that laughs falls off their maps all cured of pain and doubts in your little brain something's coming sky is purple dogs are howling to themselves days are changing with the weather like a rip tide could rip us away I push I pull the days go slow into a void we filled with death and noise that laughs falls off their maps all cured of pain and doubts in your little brain

Earthquake Protector: Shake Table Crash Testing

Comparative earthquake engineering experiments with 12-story building models: the right one is resting on a new type of seismic base isolation called "earthquake protectors", the left one is fixed to the base. The fundamental natural period of superstructures equals 1.2s, the isolated period of Earthquake Protector equals 5.0s, the range of earthquake simulation periods is 0.02 - 2.00s. It is obvious: application of Earthquake Protector can raise a building's seismic sustainability dramatically. Visit also en.wikipedia.org and en.wikipedia.org
