ES AT1 2017 Case Study: Christchurch Earthquake Part A: Analysis of Event Analysis of the tectonic movement or process involved The Christchurch earthquake in 2011 was a result of a transform boundary. Transform boundaries are when two separate plates slide past each other in their movement. During this process of movement, lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many of these transform boundaries are found on the seafloor. This slide of plates can often lead to major earthquakes. In…

involves the three theories previously mentioned. The mechanism would have to be quick, working in the space of time between the first warning sign, whether it be the change in electromagnetic field, presence of sound waves, or arrival of initial P waves, and the approach of the S waves and earthquake itself. Given the presence of a stimuli detection method, the second step would be the linkage between that stimulus and earthquake, which would then elicit a response. The conclusion can be drawn…

energy that is contained by waves emanating to shore from large bodies of water, such as seas or ocean coasts. There are several reasons why this energy is so promising, mainly because it is overwhelmingly abundant throughout our oceans, and because high tides, low tides, and weather patterns that would create large movements of water through natural cycles and storm surges are very predictable in their occurrences. The only question still up in the air about obtaining wave energy is if the…

1.1 Introduction to Landslide A landslide is a geological phenomenon, which includes a wide range of ground movements, such as deep or shallow failure slopes and rock falls. See figure 1.1. 1.1.1 Factors influence Landslides Landslides occur when the stability of the slope turns from the stable state to unstable state. Most of the Landslides usually cause depend on two main factors: (i) Natural Factors and (ii) Anthropogenic Factors. (USSG, 2004) (i) Natural Factors (a) Geological…

In physics there's many things to learn such as various types of G-forces and even energies. The amount of things that I have learned throughout my days in class was the use of energy. The two types of energy is Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy this was used to to tell that velocity PE (Potential Energy) and the motion of KE (Kinetic Energy) of roller coasters which was one of the things that was taught this year PE was the highest point of the roller coaster. And KE is to tell the motion if…

The seismograph influenced the world and madeJust as this impact sets waves in motion on a quiet pond, so an earthquake generates seismic waves that radiate out through the Earth.” It easier to save lives from an earthquake. It warns people when to get out of that city or state.”Obviously this can show how a siesmograph works and can save many lives.How it works is that it detects a siesmic wave.”seismic detectors into networks that halt bullet trains, close valves at manufacturing plants and…

always just been absolutely amazed about the amount of destruction they cause and how powerful they are. Although I have never thought of becoming a seismologist, it something I would want to learn more about. A seismologist studies seismic waves, energy waves caused by rock suddenly breaking apart within the earth or slipping of tectonic plates. There are many ways that scientists are able to study seismic ways and earthquakes. The first way is when seismologist analyze the damaged cause by an…

The Earth’s Natural Early Warning system: Earthquake light No one has ever seen him. Not really. They only ever perceived his aura, his mystical cloak that shimmers a whitish blue gleam, in the stint before his arrival, before his mighty steps tear the ground open. No one has ever heard him. Who can hear him over the yells of terrified people? He doesn’t even have a name. For who can name something so powerful and yet so elusive. I call him ‘Earthshaker’. Some have repudiated his existence,…

An Analysis of Cinematography and Sound in the Explosion Scene From ’71 (2015) Dir. Yann Demange ‘‘71’ is a film about a young soldier, Gary Hook, who gets stranded in Belfast in 1971 during the Troubles. He accidentally becomes the target for all parties involved and the complexity of the good and the bad in the Troubles become apparent. In the sequence I’ve chosen, Hook has his first glimpse of safety when he gets picked up by a young Protestant boy and taken a Loyalist pub. After mistakenly…

Introduction: The lab experiment on Fabrication and Microwave Frequency Measurement of a ring Resonators was about finding the relative dielectric constant and the response of a ring resonator. These values are found by using a ring resonator and setting a frequency signal to the ring to resonate the signal. This lab also shows how to make the ring resonators from paper or any type of electric device from fabrication. Fabrication is used to print electric devices such as printed circuit boards.…
