Fault

I researched the change from fault to no fault divorce in Nebraska during the late 20th century. Fault divorce was one party filing for divorce, claiming that the other party was guilty for ruining the marriage, while in no fault divorce no blame was placed on either party. The change started in 1969, with California dismantling their fault based divorce system and then implementing the no fault divorce system. Almost all states followed California soon after and adopted their own no fault laws, with New York being the final state in 2010. The divorce laws were intended to have positive changes to all aspects of the law. However, these changes resulted in mainly negative consequences in alimony, property assets, child custody, and economics…

Is the Hayward Fault line moving the earth’s surface, and if so where is the evidence to prove it? There are various methods to prove that the Hayward Fault is creeping, and the evidence is viewable such as offset curbsides, building that are being torn apart, and cracks in the earth’s surface. The Hayward Fault is a strike-slip fault meaning it moves up, and down, thus giving us multiple locations in which the surface is affected. There are five different locations that I chose on the Hayward…

Throughout the years, more and more people have taken it upon themselves to end their marriage and get a divorce. This practice is defined as the “the legal dissolution of a marriage by a court or other competent body” (Dictionary.com), meaning it is acknowledged legally by a judge, and lawyers. The reasons for divorce legally range from no fault divorce to fault divorce. No fault divorce is deemed when the couple has mutually agreed to end the marriage, after they felt that the marriage wasn’t…

The San Andreas Fault is perhaps the most dangerous and destructive fault lines in North America. Passing through one of the most populous areas of the United States, the San Andreas Fault line stretches nearly the entire western seaboard of California (Lynch). The infamous earthquake of San Francisco of 1906 is likely the reason the fault has been so ill-reputed. Furthermore, the fault has been relatively inactive and the chance for a large rupture which could span hundreds of kilometers…

There is evidence to show that there is a decline in domestic violence and female suicide rates in countries which implement a no-fault system already Statics show that it typically takes a victim of domestic violence seven attempts to finally leave her abusive partner. Often in the early stages, the victim may not even realise s/he is in an abusive relationship. By the time the victim does realise it, there are often many barriers to leaving. No-Fault provides a quicker way out for domestic…

Origins of Divorce and the History of No-Fault No-fault divorce law has been a topic of debate since its emergence around 1970 although it has continued as the precedence of divorce into modern day. “No fault” law allows a married couple to divorce on the basis of “irretrievable breakdown" or "incompatibility” as opposed to divorce based on the fault of one spouse. Because there is no fault involved in this type of divorce the division of assets and care of children is based upon the finances…

is going to happen and all we can do is prepare. The “Big One”, aka the San Andreas Fault in California, is one of the most famous landmarks of the United States today. It is the longest, most active fault line in the world. Scientist have been predicting a major quake to rupture from it and its due for its deadly rupture. This Earthquake could happen at any time, so you Californians…be ready. Image by www.pixgood.com The San Andreas Fault is a major fault line along the western part of…

Case Analysis 1. What are the facts in the case? John is the chief seismologist at one of the leading research facilities in North America who holds a P.H.D from one of the most prestigious university in the country. John has developed a method for predicting earthquake with 80% accuracy rate. From his investigation, he discovered that there is a 80% chance that an earthquake will occur with a magnitude of 7.3 in one of the four fault lines in southern california within two days. While three…

magnitude 8.8 earthquake which released 500 times more energy than Haiti’s, rattled Chile but only causes 525 people to die. When seeking the answers to the huge differences, scientists discovered that geological differences as well as social factors both helped to minimize death toll and infrastructure failures. Geological Aspects There are three aspects included in geological aspects: tectonic settings, the location of the epicenter and ground shaking intensity. Tectonic settings define the…

Experts predicted a huge earthquake that will have a massive destruction in the Pacific Northwest. Experts did not state when will it hit and how long it will last. However, according to Oregon State professor the magnitude will be between 8.0 and 9.2. Whether or not the earthquake is going to hit sooner or later and how powerful it is going to be. Being prepared could save a lot of lives and could avoid inevitable damages. But the big question is: are Northwesterners prepared when the…
