It seems that to this day and age that there is a great deal of talk regarding the order that we were born in. Jeffrey Kluger suggests in his article, “The Power of Birth Order” that birth order matters. Since evidence shows that firstborns are more intelligent, the differences between earlier and later-borns, and that younger siblings’ like taking risks…

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…

Earthquakes in the state of California occur almost on a daily basis; these earthquakes are often not felt because of its low magnitude, but it is still recorded. However, Californians have experienced destructive earthquakes dating back to January 9, 1857 (Morrison). This earthquake occurred in Fort Tejon with a magnitude of 7.9 (Morrison). The damage, however, was not as devastating due to the minimal houses that were built in that area. In 1906, an earthquake so catastrophic…

It is important to acknowledge that without the critical state, interesting phenomena cannot occur. The non-critical state is at equilibrium, where Gibb’s free energy is equal to zero, and there are no avalanches. Therefore, the critical state is not at equilibrium, this is only an illusion society sees as a result of the nature of self-organized critical systems. During the intermittent periods between avalanches, society cannot detect any changes, so it is assumed that nothing is happening,…
