Patricia Gardner ENG 201 : 8:00 Assignment 1: Natural Science Ocean Inside the Earth’s mantle The mantle takes up 84 percent of the Earth’s structure and is composed of my different layers. Knowledge of the upper mantle is that it includes tectonic plates, magnetic pull, heat flow, and gravity studies. A new discovery has been […]
Plate Tectonics The forces that shape the earth begin beneath the lithosphere. Rock in the asthenosphere is hot enough to flow slowly. Heated rock rises, moves up toward the lithosphere, cools and circulates downward. Riding above this circulation system are the tectonic plates, enormous moving pieces of the earth’s lithosphere.

Earthquakes are super deadly especially if you are in the wrong place. Like if you in a house surrounded by furniture than you have a likelihood of dying. There are 12,000 to 14,000 earthquakes a year. A 7.0 earthquake can be 10 to 30 minutes long but they are still very dangerous.Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, […]
Earthquakes in Japan has become more frequent these last couples of years. Japan is considered the eighteenth largest country in Asia with 145,914 square miles (377,915 sq km) (Briney 2018). Out of many Asian countries, Japan was one of the countries in Asia that had the worst earthquakes happened to. Why is Japan prone to […]
This project investigates trees, earthquakes, atmosphere and ionosphere as a coupled system to see if trees can be used as precursor for short term earthquake prediction alongside other long, intermediate and short term precursors. History has shown animals can and have predicted earthquakes (Cao et al., 2018, Tong 1988), but the general tone of this […]
Specific purpose: inform my audience on the dangers of an earthquake and what to do in case of one. Speech thesis: Due to the recent catastrophic events such as the Mexico City earthquakes, it is important to inform ourselves on what we can do in case of an earthquake. Introduction: On September 7, 2017 a […]
It is no surprise to Earth Scientists that Alaska sees so many earthquakes annually. With two tectonic plates meeting under a subduction zone there is bound to be a great deal of seismic activity. There is a long history of quakes, some taking several lives, that has become a lifestyle more than an occurrence. Alaska […]
Background In the past several decades, Qatar has been included the low probability expectation from any major naturally-occurring incidents like earthquakes, floods, droughts or heavy storms. A United Nations report published ranked the country as among the world’s safest. An earthquake is a sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the shifting of rock […]
It’s 5:12 AM, April 18, 1906. Extremely loud low pitched rumbling wakes many people up from their sleep. This rumbling sound was caused by the Pacific and American Tectonic plates scraping along each other at the San Andreas fault. A shock suddenly hits San Francisco, and it shakes the ground for 45 seconds. Another tremblor […]
A seismometer or seismoscope is an instrument that detects and measures the motions of the ground as a result of seismic waves gushing from an earthquake, volcanic eruption or powerful explosion. Today, there are thousands of such instruments dispersed in key places around the world that constantly keep watch, gather data and help seismologists better […]

Throughout centuries in our nations have experienced different natural disasters that have required recovery and creating new emergency assistance program. On September 6, 2018, in northern island of Hokkaido, Japan an earthquake magnitude of 6.7 reaching the maximum of 7 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale in some areas. According to International Civil Defense Organization (2018), […]
Volcanic eruptions can cause a lot of damage to both nearby areas and areas miles away from the eruption site. There are many different effects after an eruption that create a health hazard for both human and wildlife alike. When a volcano erupts it is very powerful and the effects of it can be felt […]
Fracking is the process of injecting water at high pressure into rocks deep underground, which can cause earthquakes because it can sometimes lift the Earth’s surface. Since the 1960’s, geologists have known that it is possible to cause quakes by pushing fluids into the ground. On September 3, 2016, Oklahoma experienced their strongest earthquake that […]
