I’m trying to understand how supply and demand works but I’m overthinking it and could use some pointers.
Assume that a major hurricane wipes out over 50% of all rubber trees in Central America. How would this effect the demand, supply, equilibrium price, and equilibrium quantity (Increase, Decrease, or No Change) of Rubber.
What kinds of “earthquake measures” (precautions) are communities taking to ensure that a big earthquake will cause the least amount of damage?
THANKS!!! 
Create a myth
Imagine that you are one of the first humans on the earth. You are living in a prehistoric time before technology…before science…before life, as you know it,(if it helps think cave man and cave woman). How would you explain the world around you? Remember, there are no exsisting rules, ideas, or explanations. Remember to make this very creative.
With this in mind, choose one of the following natural phenomenons and write your own myth about its origin and purpose. Your myths should be at least one page long (typed) MLA format or two handwritten in black ink or blue ink. You must illistrate your myth. You may use clip art or pictures you draw. Maybe you want to use cutouts from a magazine. Be creative and have fun with this.
DON’T FORGET THE PICTURE TO GO WITH YOUR MYTH.
Here are some ideas for your Phenomena that you could explain in your myth. Be creative
Rain
Snow
Lightning
Thunder
Earthquakes
Moon
Sun
Stars
Comets
Meteor Showers
Eclipse
Rivers
Oceans
Sunsets
Mountains
Canyons
Ect(has to be approved if any ideas)
I currently live in California.
Will this earthquake in Chile effect the fault line in California in which has been overdued for a big earthquake? Intensify it in some way?
This website is supposed to be all about predicting events that will happen in the future. It supposedly predicted the events on Sept.11th and Hurricane Katrina and few others that have come true.
The latest prediction is that there will be global devestation in late Dec.2012. Here is part of the article :
Throughout its short existence, the Web Bot has accurately predicted many other natural and man made disasters such as the 2001 anthrax attack on Washington DC, the East Coast power outage in 2003 and the earthquake which lead to the December 26 2004 tsunami. It is even credited with predicting hurricane Katrina and the devastating events that followed. In addition, the Web Bot has foretold of a global devastating event expected to take place in late December 2012.
Is anyone familiar with this site and what do you think of the 2012 prediction?? That really has me freaked out thinking the world may come to an end then. Should I not believe it or is there some truth to it?
A friend of mine told about this WebSite…I had no idea of this whole 2012 thing before she mentioned it. And I also have no idea who Art Bell is.
i am writing a research paper for a geology class (due tommorow) on how we locate the epicenter of an earthquake, but i’m having trouble answering why finding the epicenter is important…
Any ideas? thanks i’ll appreciate it
What causes these differences?
Just wanna know, on a scale of one to ten, also how scary are the roller coasters there cos I’m going for the first time ever on Sunday…a little bit nervous. Anyone wanna tell me about the rides in detail please?
7th grade science homework and need help…
I do not mind if it only covers anywhere between 2 and 20 years, as long as the information given is detailed for the earthquakes it covers.
Thanks a lot for any answers
Preferably not the wikipedia article; I would like to copmare earthquake damage and GDP in specific countries
Back In 1970, former National Security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote in Between Two Ages, that:
‘By the year 2018, technology will make available to the leaders of the major nations, a variety of techniques for conducting secret warfare, of which only a bare minimum of the security forces need be appraised. One nation may attack a competitor covertly by bacteriological means, thoroughly weakening the population (though with a minimum of fatalities) before taking over with its own armed forces. Alternatively, techniques of weather modification could be employed to produce prolonged periods of drought or storm…"
-and-
“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values. Soon it will be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and maintain up-to-date complete files containing even the most personal information about the citizen. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities.”
In addition to "techniques of weather modification", and a capacity to "attack a competitor covertly by bacteriological means", we also have electromagnetic weapons with which to transmit effects such as earthquake induction(HAARP Tech.) across intercontinental distances with force levels equivalent to major nuclear explosions.
Military documents reveal that current tactics and strategies may not simply aim to kill people. Chronically sick people are more useful than dead people. Chronically sick people need expensive drugs and can make good slaves of the state. Weather control is now part of the modern arsenal, as are earthquakes and other "natural" disasters. With weapons like these, regular people won’t even know who is attacking who.
So did you know that chemtrails(weather modification),fluoridated water,pharmacuetical drugs,etc. just a way to reduce population? The New World order and socialism is directed towards population reduction.
Did you know that from 1977 to 1985, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was President and CEO of Searle Pharmaceuticals.Gee, i wonder what is going on guys.
There is a much bigger picture here.
What the Globalists want is:
A World Currency, A World Government, and a World Army.
Now….ask yourself, “Why do they want this?”
The answer of course is: for power and control.
Now, let’s go one step further and ask, “power and control FOR WHAT?” After all, people like the Rockefellers, the Queen of England, and the Rothschilds can already do basically anything they want. They live in palaces and have their own security. They can buy any politician they choose or exert their influence to crush any that oppose them.
Why do they have this fixation on running the world?
The Elite want a global government as a means of power & control to enforce dramatic population reductions. The programs and tools they are using now in various places (i.e. one-child policies, forced vaccinations, etc.) will ultimately devolve into systematic genocide.
How do you calculate on how much weight a 70 miles per hour tornado can lift?
Ok, this is my latest team idea:

By the way, I don’t use any starters or legendaries.
What happens when government fails to act?
What has happened when they have helped?
And how different natural disasters would be if the government did help more?
Thanks!!
I have a cousin living there and it makes me nervous. I get worried about him.
San Andreas Fault is so dangerous and Cali is way overdue for an earthquake.
I am in NYC and we don’t get earthquakes here. I have been in an earthquake once in my life and this was in Azerbaijan. (google it)
Aren’t you guys afraid? How can you live in Cali?
(and no I am not dissing cali, Im sure its beautiful)
When Jupiter will no longer protect earth from asteroids.
in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Are the U.S. news still racist even in 2006?
well 2 ppl in my family have the ability of "second sight". My dad and me.
my dad has dreams and visions (visions are during the day) of MAJOR disastors like the padington station crash that happend in the 90, the earthquake thats just happend recently in the carabiean, 9.11.. alot of things that have happend b4 they happen, hes not told me all of them but he told me that the dreams he has are alot different 2 normal dreams he has, that they seam alot more vivid and real.
me. well the 1st one that i know aout goes back 2 when i was 4 just after my great gramdma died (my dads, mothers mum). i had a dream that i was with my great grandma in this place with lots of bright colors and rainbows. i woke up and drew a picture of it and gave it 2 my dad 2 give 2 my gran when he when 2 great grandmas funeral (she lived 300 miles up in scotland whe i live in england at the time) and told my dad 2 say thats what great grandma could see.had a few dreams and wake up in the night the exact same time family friends have died at and i burst into tears 4 no aparent reason in a cafe the time my great uncle died at

would like 2 know the info u have onit (no website links, stuf about it beeing fake or stupid answers plz)
thanks xx
Three women are about to be executed. One’s a brunette, one’s a redhead, and one’s a blond. Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape. The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ." The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution. By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests.
She also says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."
The blond shouts, "fire!!"

we have a test coming up and i dont know what this means. this was the question "What are the basic steps of the elastic rebound model? What does ERT mean with respect to our
understanding of earthquakes?" i dont know the first part either.
Ok, so if you havent already heard we had a 5.4 earthquake now most parents and people (cuz of being stupid or know it alls) think that you dont need to prepare at all or know anythin about what to do durin an earthquake. i was home with my sis and my dog and this was the first bigger earthquake that has struck our house since i was little and i got scared. i dont want stupid answers but im wondering what is the safety thing to do when it does happen because there has become a debate about whether doorways r safer or ducking under a sturdy table is safer or sitting in your bed with a blanket covering you is safer or running outside to a clear opening is safer or even if crouching near an "interior" wall and covering is safer. What do you guys think especially if you have lived through some bad/big earthquakes? is a preparedness kit neccesary since some people say it isnt? and what is an example of an interior wall? and what if you live in a 2story house with the bedrooms on the 2nd fl?
in the IPCC WG II report, Chapter 7, supplementary material?
Is it more appropriate to link rise in natural disaster spending to coastal population trends?
Why does the graph they do include only look at a limited number of years from 1970 to 2005?
http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/archives/climate_change/001169this_is_just_embaras.html
@ dana1981
So you DO think its appropriate for a panel that is commissioned to study climate change to link the cost of a supossedly GLOBAL trend in temperature rise to US spending on Natural disasters over a cherry picked time period?
Do you honestly think you can show a credible scientific link that shows that a rise in GLOBAL temperatures are responsible for US spending on disasters?
Don’t you see the poor science behind this graph?
Doesn’t it bother you that a panel that is supposed to review scientific literature and report on the truth would make such an obvious agenda driven graph?
Is the answer to how much US taxpayers should spend on Haiti, "Whatever they need / Whatever it takes?"
Should there be some guidance or balance between US government donations versus private donations to aid the earthquake victims?
With a corrupt government now in shambles, AIDS infecting 5% of the population, a birth rate twice the rate of that in U.S., widespread abject poverty and an infrastructure that has crumbled under this devastating earthquake, is Haiti heading to become the 51st state of the United States under Obama’s leadership?
