Shock wave

Have you ever seen the movement of a whip? When it is cracked it starts with small ripples at base and magnifies as the waves move towards the end. Now someone may be puzzled how in the earth that can be linked towards supply chain. The analogy is quite simple, although the consequences can be quite complex and adverse. Let’s start with an example, suppose just at the beginning of the winter season customers buy 2 moisturizer creams for the season. If there is an offer on the table,…

The Korean Wave refers to the cultural phenomenon in which people in the world are willing to adopt and consume Korean popular culture (Jung, 2006). The Korean Wave is the term coined by the Chinese media for the first time to describe the sudden surge in the popularity of Korean culture in China in 2002 (Hogarth, 2013). The Korean Wave usually includes Korean music, dramas, films and games and is a hot cultural change and trend especially in Asian nations today. Korean television drama has been…

The Alaskan way Viaduct will collapse if an earthquake happens, but that earthquake will take many steps. These steps will got through the layers of the earth. The layers are stacked on top of eachother, like the liquids in the “Density Column lab”. The layers are inner core, outer core, mesosphere, asthenosphere, and lithosphere(upper rigid mantle, continental crust, and oceanic crust). The earth's compositional layers are inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. The inner core radiates…

interior portion of the center, known as the "inner core" is thought to be solid iron. Answer 2: The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth. When we put seismometers…

The applauding behavior of today’s youth has reached epidemic proportions. Their lack of self-respect is reflected in not only by the way they dress, it’s also shown by the way they treat others. Aggressive behavior is shown throughout social media, music and everyday life. Entertainment today contributes to the fact that today’s youth are vulgar, rude, and rebellious and disrespect authority. Parents trying to be friends with their children, instead of being parents is a huge contributing…

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, HOW CLOSE ARE WE? PHSCS 222 Collective Paper November 23, 1999 #123 #272 #666 #895 The Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the…

The region is tectonically characterized by the ~6 kilometer thick oceanic Nazca plate subducting underneath the continental South American plate at a convergence azimuth of ~ 78 ͦ and at a rate of 6.6 centimeters per year making the area one of the most active convergent margins on earth, typically experiencing a Mw > 8 earthquake every 10 – 20 years (Moscoso, et.al., 2011). Notable quakes in recent history include the 1960 Mw = 9.5 Valdivia earthquake which was the largest ever recorded,…

An earthquake is when the ground shakes uncontrollably causing damage to buildings, roads and housing structures. This happens when two pieces of earth slip over one another. The area where this slip occurs is called a fault line. The area under the surface of the earth where the earthquake takes place is called the hypocenter, and the area above this place is called the epicenter. In some cases a seismic tremor has foreshocks. These are littler quakes that happen in the same place as the…

So it makes sense to harness the very essence of energy and use it as an alternative energy source, and wave generators aim to do just that. Like all generators, a wave generator works by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. In 1831 Michael Faraday discovered that moving a wire through a magnetic field induces a voltage in the wire that is…

Today, my topic is about Korean drama. Korean drama is very popular in the world, especially in Asia. l am very interested in this phenomenon. According to my research, it can be divided into three types------middle-aged women, teenagers and sociologists. The first type is middle-aged women. Middle-aged women like to watch Korean drama. We should analyze the common characteristics in this age. Middle-aged women’s ages are between 35 to 55, and this type can continue to be divided into two kinds…
