Airplanes, trains and automobiles would soon carry people further…

on Earth’s crust are changing the natural waterways and the flow and shape of streams and rivers. California’s Northern Coast is threatened with a virulent earthquake which will cause a catastrophic tsunami. The article, “A Potent Threat of Major Earthquake off California’s Northern Coast”, states, “If a 9.0-magnitude earthquake were to strike along California’s [...] North Coast, it would have a catastrophic ripple effect. A giant tsunami created by the quake would wash away coastal towns”…

Coelacanths can grow up to 2 m in length. Their bodies are covered in blue scales, which turn brown after death, with a white speckling that is unique to each individual. Their seven fins have fleshy lobes and they move their two paired sets of fins (pectoral and pelvic) in a diagonally synchronous manner like a four-limbed terrestrial animal. Unlike all other vertebrates, coelacanths possess an intracranial joint and an associated basicranial muscle. The purpose of this structure is disputed,…
