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…

The bridges was build of different types like Beam Girder, Steel Arches, Cantilever-truss, Suspension. Then they have safety features to make the bridge more stable to withstand the earthquake which was Bearings, Ductile Materials, Shock Absorbers, shear links. Then we put an earthquake level from Hayward 5.0-8.0 and from San Andreas 5.0-9.0 then it shows the damage of the bridge that was build it will be destroyed at level 9.0 which is rare and is the most powerfulest quake. Vocab…

The seismograph influenced the world and madeJust as this impact sets waves in motion on a quiet pond, so an earthquake generates seismic waves that radiate out through the Earth.” It easier to save lives from an earthquake. It warns people when to get out of that city or state.”Obviously this can show how a siesmograph works and can save many lives.How it works is that it detects a siesmic wave.”seismic detectors into networks that halt bullet trains, close valves at manufacturing plants and…

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 earthquakes. The first way is when seismologist analyze the damaged cause by an…

The Earth’s Natural Early Warning system: Earthquake light No one has ever seen him. Not really. They only ever perceived his aura, his mystical cloak that shimmers a whitish blue gleam, in the stint before his arrival, before his mighty steps tear the ground open. No one has ever heard him. Who can hear him over the yells of terrified people? He doesn’t even have a name. For who can name something so powerful and yet so elusive. I call him ‘Earthshaker’. Some have repudiated his existence,…

Introduction: The lab experiment on Fabrication and Microwave Frequency Measurement of a ring Resonators was about finding the relative dielectric constant and the response of a ring resonator. These values are found by using a ring resonator and setting a frequency signal to the ring to resonate the signal. This lab also shows how to make the ring resonators from paper or any type of electric device from fabrication. Fabrication is used to print electric devices such as printed circuit boards.…

For my abstinence experience, I decided to give up Korean media for nine weeks. This type of media included YouTube videos involving reality shows of different popular Korean figures, Korean shows, and news involving Korean popular culture. I chose this habit because it has been an intricate part of my life for a few years now. Last year, I noticed that I appeared to have an addiction to watching Korean shows and other Korean media on YouTube. It reached a point where I was watching it almost…

which was led by Korean technology such as Samsung products, Hallyu 2.0 blossomed from the popularity and global spread of Korean dramas and Korean pop music. Korean pop music, more widely known as K-pop, has been a driving force in the Hallyu 2.0 wave since the late 1990s. The Korean idol pop aspect of K-pop, in which performers sing and dance simultaneously, has grown into an international phenomenon, winning the hearts of countless people, both native and foreign to South Korea. These Korean…

Unlike the East coast, the natural disaster that is most common in the West coast is earthquakes. As common as earthquakes are, there are only so much we know about the elements involved; such as fault lines. The topics discussed are what and where earthquakes occur, its history, and earthquake preparation in California. Earthquakes are known worldwide as a shaking of the ground. However, this just how people see the phenomenon where destruction follows. According to Christopher Scholz and his…

if it was part of the natural rhythm of the earth. There are three types of waves created in an earthquake. A primary wave or a P-wave is a compressional wave and how it moves is comparable to the way sound travels in air. P-waves also move really fast about 6 kilometers per second in the crust of the earth. Secondary waves or S-waves travel back and forth. In the Jones area, people hear and sometimes feel P-waves. It is high frequency and shakes things. But, the big shaking they feel is…
