Abstract— Harmonics that are created by non-linear devices connected to the power system. Power system harmonics are multiples integer of the fundamental power system frequency and these harmonic frequencies can create distorted voltages and currents. Distortion of voltages and currents can impact on the power system adversely causing power quality problems. Therefore, approximation of harmonics is of high importance for efficiency of the power system network to maintain the quality limits…

Have you ever been in a bad Natural disaster? If not maybe you should try reading “Comprehending the Calamity” By Emma Burke and “Horrific Wreck of the City” By Fred Hewitt. They are both first hand eye witness accounts of the San Francisco earthquake and fire. The San Francisco earthquake was one of the biggest and most traumatizing events of all time. It all started April 18, 1906 at 5:15 AM. The first tremor lasted about 1 minute and others continued to strike through out the morning. Water…

Earthquake outlook for the San Francisco Bay region 2014 -2043, reports different important contents about earthquakes which are preparing for an earthquake, why earthquakes occur in the San Francisco area, how scientists calculate earthquake probabilities, how it will affect you, and how to protect yourself and your family. Per the U.S Geological Survey (2016) reported that earthquake preparedness helps to help reduce the number of hazards. On August 24, 2014, a large earthquake with a…

They happen in these countries because they are on fault lines (lists10.com). We measure earthquakes by the Richter scale. The Richter scale measures earthquakes by magnitude on a scale from 1-10. The magnitude is based on the size of the largest wave recorded on a seismometer. Seismometers are instruments…

wooden homes and unsupported brick buildings. The moment the earthquake started, buildings collapsed, water mains broke, and a huge fire broke out that spread rapidly across the city. The San Francisco earthquake was centered along the San Andreas Fault and affected a huge area. It was felt all the way from Coos Bay, Oregon, to Los Angeles, California, and as far east as central Nevada. Source 2 On the morning of…

Things to Do in San Juan Capistrano Great Stone Church The ruins, more commonly known as the Great Stone Church, is one of the most interesting sections of SJC Mission. The church was laid out as a cross shape with a bell tower that can be seen as far away as 10 miles and whose bells could be heard even further. This historical church lasted only six year as it was destroyed by a 7.0-magnitude in 1812. The earthquake also took the lives of fifty plus people who were buried in the old church…

Scientists have made great strides in the process of learning about earthquakes and continue to do more work that will help them learn about earthquakes in the future. Earthquakes occur when two fault planes strike one another resulting in the shaking of the earth. The earth shakes when the edges of faults are stuck together and the energy that would normally cause the blocks to…

and all we can do is prepare. The “Big One”, aka the San Andreas Fault in California, is one of the most famous landmarks of the United States today. It is the longest, most active fault line in the world. Scientist have been predicting a major quake to rupture from it and its due for its deadly rupture. This Earthquake could happen at any time, so you Californians…be ready. Image by www.pixgood.com The San Andreas Fault is a major fault line along the western part of California. It is 660 miles…

(Barrymore). The second quake was the big one lasting 25 seconds, the estimation is 7.8 to 8.3 magnitude (Barrymore). This was the result of the tectonic plates in the San Andreas fault line moving past each other 15 feet(annual average is 2 inches a year) (Barrymore). The impacted area was 300, 00 square miles along the fault line. The damage was beyond extensive destroying water/sewer pipes, crippling telephone and transportation facilities including railways, buckled roadways, left more than…

The San Francisco earthquake in 1906 was almost completely destroyed San Francisco. Buildings collapsed, fires were spread, and the city was left in shock and devastation. Mark Twain and Jack London each wrote an essay on the San Francisco earthquake describing the events that took place during, and after the earthquake; however, they each took a different approach stylistically on writing the essays. Mark Twain’s essay on the San Francisco earthquake was written to be humorous and was more…
