Wave power

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 Hōryū-ji Temple remain located in Nara prefecture Japan, is the oldest existing timber structure; dated from 607 AD. The temple’s construction is held up by structural elements called the Dougong, which are placed on top of large, firm and stable vertical pillars, to support the weight of upper stories, roofs and eaves. The Dougong is composed of overlapping wooden brackets; the ‘Dou’: a block placed on a column, creating space for multiple bow-shaped arms; ‘gong’, to be interlocked, which…

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 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…

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…

“We’re going to have to go through the back, because if a nigga sees you, they’re going to attack you.” I was quiet, my hands were beginning to sweat, and I think I was in need of the bathroom to shit. Once we got to the strip club, my eyes went wild seeing the lights flicker crazy through the floor. Weed and alcohol slaps my nose as they enter my nose making me cringe. Sky seen this. “Don’t worry you’ll get use to the smell after a while.” She grabs my hand interlocking with mine and pulls me…

There has been evidence that scientists have found along the Alaska Peninsula that might be similar to the earthquake that happened in Japan of 2011 that caused severe damage. There were plate alignments found underwater that resembled the earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. Researchers found that close to the plates surfaces were conditions that could trigger an earthquake and build a destructive tsunami. Researchers are able to look into how Alaska might be prone to the damage that…

Product Acorns is an automated micro-investing application that allows clients to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The extra change is invested by the company. When a person signs up, it generally costs $1 a month for an account that generates less than $5,000. According to Acorns’ website “You just link a debit or credit card and after every use Acorns tracks the spare change from the transaction and makes it available for you to invest” (What is Acorns?, n.d.). To create an…
