The pigs were brought here so that the settlers would have a ready food supply if need be (Ditchkoff and West 2007).

Predicting and projecting when, how, and why earthquakes occur can save millions of lives, while also saving billions in public taxpayer funds to rebuild after the damage.

Understanding these actions can allow us to have better understanding of the causation of earthquakes.…
