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…

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 of the four faults are less populated, the fourth one is San Andreas. It is populated city and an earthquake there could be catastrophic. 2. What is the issue/dilemma? The issue is how John should proceed with reporting his…

The Owens Valley is a structural trough that has been dropped down as a graben along regional scale normal faults that separate it structurally from the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west, and the White Mountains to the east (Pakiser, et al. 1964). Measured at 121 km north to south and it encompasses roughly 1400 square kilometers, the Owens Valley includes…

The Next Big One In the magazine “ The Next Big One”, by Joel Achenbach gives details about an earthquake that had happened in the past and it was really bad. The name of the fault of the type of earthquake movement was The Hayward Fault. A long and lethal crack in the earth, slices along the base of the Berkeley Hills and directly through the University of California. Now… Joel Achenbach quotes that “ We understood earthquakes better than we did a century ago, when San Francisco was…

Introduction In color reproduction, gamut or the color gamut is a certain complete subset of colors, which can be accurately represented in a given circumstance such as given color space [1]. In another words gamut literally means the total range of possibilities that can be accomplished from red, green and blue (RGB) for a particular device [2]. If certain color cannot be reproduced accurately there is a way how to calculate the color difference by adequately describing the color by numerical…

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…

2. QPSK: When a data is transmitted using BPSK technique the channel bandwidth required is 2fb. The QPSK technique reduces that bandwidth to fb. It is a multilevel phase modulation. In this two successive bits in a bit stream are combined together to form a message and each message is represented by distinct value of phase shift of a carrier. The QPSK signal is represented as. Since there are 4 phases it is called as 4-PSK or Quadrature PSK systems [6][7]. 3. QAM: QAM improves the noise…

the customers instead of accessories," Women at the time didn 't just work to buy things they worked to be able to support them selves and their children so they didn 't have to rely on a man to survive because in the 1969 California passed the no fault divorce law which allowed women to get out of a bad marriage. With divorce and second marriages on a rise concepts like blended families became more and more normal. In the 1990’s the concept of family became even more complicated in the sense…

"Couples who make it are not the ones who never had a reason to get divorced. They simply the ones who decided early on that their commitment to each other was always going to be bigger than their differences and flaws" (Willis). If everyone could get the people to think this way, just think how happy the world would be, adults and children would not have to suffer. Divorce is painful for children and it should be harder to get a divorce if the family has minors. First the person must look to…

experienced divorce attorney: 1. Laws vary. Despite what your best friend may have told you, laws are not the same from state to state. What may be true in California, New York, or Maryland is often not the case in Georgia. For example, consider "No Fault" divorce. While all states will recognize…
