In science we are learing about earthquake proof buildings. And I have to make an earthquake proof building out of pasta. What is that best way to do so? Is there a special way that I should make it..like the base or how the pasta is glued together. Thanx so much!!! I really want to get an A!
“Unlucky”
All of a sudden you know you’re hit
With a pile of falling pissed off bricks
The earthquake you’re so afraid of
Spun from something you were supposed to love
That steadfast tremor inside your mind
Stirring and shaking your brain blind
Only after the trembles settle you realize too late
You’re the earthquake maker with an unlucky fate
You lie on the floor surrounded in blood
Two seconds after the sound of a thud
Your dizziness drowning out her noisy shrieks
Only the sound of your breath and the floor creaks
Moments pass and nothing happens
She comes up behind him and gives him some napkins
It’s just another day in this boy’s world of hate
He’s the earthquake maker with an unlucky fate
Any criticism or thoughts on changes are appreciated
PS: This is thinkbox08 and I’ve obviously changed the way I went with this.
we have a science project and are stumped.
we have to create a childrens picture book with a story line. that has something to do with plate tectonics/ earthquakes/ volcanoes/other effects of earthquakes.
help! be creative 
“The Earthquake Magnet”
All of a sudden you know you’re hit
Like a pile of falling pissed off bricks
The inevitable eruption you’re so afraid of
Spins in a hate you were supposed to love
That steadfast tremor inside your head
As the panic shakes your conscious dead
And after the trembles settle you realize too late
You’re an earthquake magnet dealt unlucky fate
Laying on the floor in your own disgust
A moment after a clashing thrust
The dizziness drowns out the noisy shrieks
Now nothing but the smell of your own stench reeks
Lazily twitching like a dried up sunfish
Hopeless like a puppy in an empty food dish
You’re eight years old and mom’s enemy
A carpet stain her last memory
Hey, if someone dies in a natural disaster, is that considered dieing by natural death?
They taste amazing & have only seen them in vending machines out of town haha
Looking for a simple one that measures earthquakes one through ten.
What country offered the united states oil after hurricane Katrina and why did the united states say no?
is that true? someone in class said that today?
I am particularily interested in the one that occured in 1994 in Bolivia in the Nazca slab.
Could you elaborate?
does anyone know what this film is called?
its about a family and there is an earthquake and one of the boys die then a few years later they are in another earthquake and the mum and daughter are on a train at the time and there other son is on the statue of liberty.
thanks to anyone who can hep
what kind of fault line is found in the himalayas… are they normal faults, reverse faults, or strike-slip faults?????
Don’t know what to do in San Francisco. Feel very upset and fustrated. Been living in San Francisco very long and here are my problems:
The city is very expensive. It has been expensive for the past 40 years. Why is SF so expensive?
A lot of rich people live in SF and donate money to causes, however, we keep hearing that SF is broke? Why?
Why are the streets so dumpy?
Why did we get screwed out of NBC access on tv and no one complained?
How come big celebrities don’t come to SF? We always see their pictures in LA, NY, London, etc.
Does LA get more earthquakes than SF?
We didn’t move because my parents are immigrants and their English is limited. All our relatives are here.
In terms of dumpy, when I visited, LA, the homes were detached and had lawns. The homes looked clean. The plumbing looked fairly new. Our streets are re-tared so the entire blocks looks very patchy.
Went to Burlingame, the streets are not patchy looking.
There is a lot of litter on our streets.
Food prices are more expensive.
What did Willie Brown do for SF?
Please, only people who understand this reply. I realize at first, you’ll say in CA, no sha-beep you should get it. But with 15% deductible and coverage is very limited, is it worth is.
It costs more than Homeowners Policy and if an EQ levels out all of Los Angeles, are you guaranteed money? Or will the company go bankrupt and I’ll get nothing?
an average movement of about 5m(16ft) along the san andreas fault was associated with the devastating 1906 san fransanciso earthquake that killed people and destroyed properties. assuming that all displacement along the fault was produced by earth motions of this magnitude, how often must such earthquakes have occurred in order to account for the total displacement?
How was the alaskan pipline built with earthquakes in mind? Like, what did they do when building it as a percaution against damage from earthquakes???
thanks!

Rainbows and Puppies:
Maybe you forgot to watch FOX news or other news those days. And I guess you don’t read the newspaper either. That’s what the links are for.
Charmed:
I wasn’t the one who brought the subject up. I am responding to the previous slew questions that seem to relish in bashing the victims of Katrina–particularly the black victims as being criminals and welfare cases.

Still not completely done so give your advice for improvement thanks!
E.G The twin tower were destroyed and I’m shore a lot of data was lost but that wasn’t a natural disaster
Do you believe in God?
Can you prove that God was responsible for this disaster?
———————–
God hasn’t caused the earth ozone layer to shrink, or the atmosphere to become polluted, or the trees to be destroyed. Do you know who is responsible for all the earth disasters.
Even some Catholic Cardinals say "its an act of God" To illustrate: While visiting San Pedro Sacatepéquez the Friday after the quake a man pawing through the remains of his home dejectedly told me: “This is punishment from God, because we have been very bad people.”
Where, you may wonder, did he and many others of these humble hardworking people get such an idea? The next day it became apparent. The Catholic Cardinal of Guatemala, Mario Casariego, said, as quoted in the country’s principal newspaper:
“In these moments of great calamities to the people, the teaching of the Holy Scriptures comes to mind: God loves and because he loves, he corrects, sets straight and awakens. . . . Haven’t we resisted so much that we have obligated God to work in this way?” Then he added that helping to rebuild the Cathedral and other destroyed churches would “be the symbol of an authentic and personal return to God.”—El Imparcial, February 7, 1976, page 6.

I live near asbury park and last night at about 12:00 at night. The wind picked up i could hear it howling my windows started chattering then my bed started shacking and a lot of my pictures and stuff on my walls fell down at what seemed like almost the same time? I cant find anything on the news but i don’t know something happened. i don’t know what it was a tornado earthquake pocket of gas underground i have no clue so just trying to see if anyone else had this happen or heard anything. IF not well then i guess i will just forget about it and take it all as a really random coincidence thanks to all who answer and God Bless
well MY house is already blessed but that is funny. could it be something that happend in the ocean since i do live right on the beach
I was just wondering what things do you have to do and what supplies do you need to prepare for a tornade? Also, what room do you go to during a hurricane?
Please explain clearly so that an 8th grader would be able to comprehend! I have looked at different sources and I still do not understand.
I know many people believe it was destroyed by the Babylonians when the burned and looted the temple. But in Revelations 11:19 it says. "Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thuderings, an earthquake, and great hail. So what do you think happened to it. Is it in heaven. Was it destroyed. Is it later going to be brought to heaven. In the verse is the ark just representing God’s covenant with us? What do you think?
How could it be destroyed if no one could touch it and live?
i heard theres a close up of it and now people just making fun of it on youtube with the hidden monster in clouds, i don’t want to see it yet but i have watched some vids and got on the the edge of my seat.And they said it was a earthquake then the monster starts blowing up the whole place,but also on poste rit shows a swirl in the water unless it just came form space hit water,stood up knocked head off then aimed for city , i dont want any spoilerS, ABOUT THE MOVIE+monster JUST AN EXPLANATION,i already know what some pictures showed.with the sacs on side of face and etc
