This worls is divided into two groups(not obviously boys and girls:biggrin: ),,first one who believe dams cause earthquakes and second one dam prevent earthquake.. you are in which one and what's your reasoning..

This can use some more visibility. Our press seems more interested in Wilma, which is weakening, than in the earthquake, whose death toll continues to mount. The toll has jumped from 54,000 to 79,000 this week aone, and may double if we don't get more aid to the region...

There was a 7.6 magnitude earthquake early this morning in Pakistan. I was getting ready to sleep, around 9 am, when it hit Lahore...See, we were sleeping in the common room which has AC (our individual rooms don't have AC)...It was me, my roomie, and 3 other people sleeping there. We were...

Breaking story: http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2005-03-28-indonesia-quake_x.htm 1609 UTC, measured at 8.2 by USGS and 8.5 by the Japanese equivalent, just north of the December '04 quake. Tsunami warning issued, no word on if a tsunami actually materialized...

I heard that it is bad to build a house made of stone on an area that is known for Earthquakes. Is that true? Are stones houses the worst against Earthquakes? That is what I heard, but I somewhat disagree with it. Why would houses made of stone be bad for a house? It is heavy and cannot sway...

:confused: The internsity of a particular earthquake wave is measured to be 2.2 * 10^6 W/m^2 at a distance of 100km from the source. Now here is the part that I'm lost. What was the intensity when it passed a point only 4.0km from the source? And what was the total power passing through an area...

Do you want low carbon steel to withstand earthquakes? Low carbon means more ductile, right? Am I right?

Earthquake tsunami in India. Could a Earthquake of this size have caused a mountain to be thrust up in a different region of the world and cause this accident? http://www.spacedaily.com/news/submarine-05a.html

I was reading in the newspaper and saw that it said that there was first an initial tidal wave, then the water receded for 10 minutes, then the big wave came crashing ashore. I was just trying to think on why the water would recede for so long, being 10 minutes. When the earthquake takes place...

I was wondering what is the equation that gives the values in a Jefferys – Bullen Table? Specifically, what’s the equation for finding the distance (or angle) from a seismic station to the epicentre of an earthquake using the difference in travel times between S and P waves as recorded by the...

I can't believe the news everytime I hear these things.. they say 20,000 were killed in the Bam Earthquake.. and a major Iranian cultural heritage was destoyed at the same time (2000 yr old citadel).

I am posting this only to bring to your attention what is likely a coincidence, but possibly interesting. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6004

This will either debunk itself in a week, or we move this prediction to another forum. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/quake_prediction_030915.html Edit: A summary of this thread: A quake with a magnitude >= 7.0 was predicted for Tokyo for Tuesday or Wednesday. In fact...

When earthquake happened, some christians are very happy about it, they think this is a Good Sign that Jesus' second coming is impending! Do you agree with this type of phycho ? Do you think they are cold-blooded? I don't think they go to the disaster area to offer humanitarian help to...

Bridge to 7 km and towers to 3.5 km. (plus other lightweight designs) at: http://groups.msn.com/DavesBridgesandTowers My last thread was just starting to get interesting when the new forum took over! For anyone who missed the final messages, I have recently added more drawings to the site...
