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…

There is a steadily growing consensus that recent human activity has had such an impact that it has shifted the Earth into a new geologic epoch of our own making. The advent of this epoch, known as the Anthropocene, has generated much discussion and tension between the various science disciplines. The major issue being discussed is whether there is a need for a new era covering the last three centuries of human impact on the planet. Defining this epoch, in terms of both time and space, has also…

Ever since I was a little kid, earthquakes have mesmerized me. I have 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…

Letter grades existed long before we are born. According to Mark W. Durm, “1883—At Harvard there is a reference to a student making a B. This apparently was the first use of a letter for a grade that can be found” (1). There are many great leaders attended schools and received letter grades; even our grand parents might have received letter grades in their life. Many people attended school and grew up with grades and every one of us is very familiar with grades. We fought for good grades to get…

the study. Also, student attitudes were impacted from the implemented actions. Feelings of being free of stress while completing an assessment to actually enjoying being assessed over math standards speaks to the success of abolishing the grading scale. Being proficient or achieving mastery will most likely be experienced by the masses and not the few when students have the desire to learn, have a positive self-image of being a mathematician, and want to demonstrate understanding of material.…

Approximately 14 million children are in poverty in the United States of America (U.S.). That is 14 million kids limited of resources like a good education. Children in poverty have difficulties learning and getting the resources they need to be successful. Poverty is defined as, “the state of being extremely poor”. Poverty affects 14.5% of Americans. The cause of this is believed to be from the government. The latest case of recovery found was that the Republican controlled congress into…

He emphasizes that time periods on the geologic scale can vary in length and intensity. Some time periods span millions of years while others, like the Holocene, have covered far less than that. The length and division of the period on the time scale depend on the extent of changes to the Earth, as well as the presence of spikes in GSSP. Following a catastrophic event, the Earth’s surface and processes…

Many of those who live in central Italy near L’Aquila were greatly impacted by the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that shook the entire town and surrounding areas in 2009. After this, many of the residents in these areas took comfort in the idea that it happened once, and it wouldn 't happen again. But when houses began to shake at 3:36 A.M. on August 24th, 2016 disaster struck once again. Though this earthquake was not as large as the previous one, the magnitude 6.2 was followed by almost 200…

The design of this report is to show the is to show the written report of an earthquake occurring either on the San Andreas Fault Line or the Hayward Fault Line. Designing bridges and seeing if the bridge that was built to survive an earthquake with the magnitude of 5.0-8.0 for Hayward and for San Andreas 5.0-9.0 the power of these earthquakes have the power to destroy lots of things at once. Some earthquakes are not noticeable but it 's the fact that earthquakes are so powerful that it can go…

Many theories are suspected of being the cause of the fall of these civilizations. When comparing the political, social and economic effects that led to the fall of these civilizations, there are many similarities and differences. Agriculture may have been the cause because it had much impact on these empires. Some experts say that the drying up of the Saraswati River may have been the main cause of the fall of the Indus Valley. Others experts say there may have been a flood in the…
