How does a natural disaster like volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, earthquakes etc. Influence the earth biological and geological?
Answer greatly needed.
I know that the Mayan calender ends in 2012 (Dec 23 if im not mistaken) and a lot of people think it either means the end of the world or just that it was the end of THEIR calendar…but, I have also recently heard the whole theory of ‘planet x’ or ‘Niberu’<spelling that is basically a planet out of control that will not hit the earth but will throw off the magnetic fields of the earth and cause earthquakes, tsunami’s on a scale not known by man.. there are also pictures of this so called planet x on youtube, is there any truth to this.. what are your thoughts..?
"I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place."
(Revelations 6:12-14)
Rose: you are equating the imagination of Revelation to the scientific theory of evolution? You might be confusing imagination with curiosity and thirst for knowledge and answers.

Don’t answer with destruction of our community or something like that. I mean with the Earth. What are the dangers for the Earth?
When food, fuel, power are scarce and expensive. When the sea water will rise between 7 to 43 meter. When hurricane, tornadoes, flood and drought will increase in intensity and reduce our habitat and food supply to a dangerous level. When population increase to 9 Billion. What do we need to do? and Would we able to do something about it or it is no longer humanly possible to correct? Read Luke 21 about the sign of the coming of the Creator for Overhaul job of the earth.
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?
Andrija Mohorovicic’s discovery that waves traveling deeper inside the Earth arrived more quick than waves that traveling along the surface and the Mohorovicic Discontinuity. How are these discoveries important to us? What would have happened today if Mohorovicic never made these discoveries? Thanks for the help in advance. 10 points best answer!
seismic waves map the earth’s interior?
for science we needed to answer these questions… can any one help? our science teacher gave us this site to work with: quake.wr.usgs.gov/study/
For CA- how many [earthquakes] in the last hour?
how many in the last day?
what is the magnitude of the largest?
what is the location and magnitude of the quake nearest to us on the US map? where in the US are there the most earthquakes? the least? what dates are covered for this listing?
How many earthquakes occurred on the most recent month (8-30 days)?
Where in the world are most of the earthquakes located?
For significant quakes give the following:
highest magnitude- number, location
deepest focus location (in earth)- how deep?
closest to surface
caused the most damage
I need to know where earthquakes happen on earth. I know they happen on fault lines, but is it more in the plains (where the land is flat), or is it more in the mountains (cluster) or mountain ranges?
I need a name for an green dragon…
Picture of my dragon http://dragcave.net/view/cpYo
It enjoys gathering pebbles and other small rocks and putting them in a pile. Green dragons are also sometimes called "earth" dragons. They usually live deep within caves, and have power over the earth. They are capable of launching boulders at high speeds, and can cause earthquakes by slamming down onto the ground.
When an earthquake occurs, two types of sound waves are generated and travel through the earth. The primary, or P, wave has a speed of about 9.0 km/s and the secondary, or S, wave has a speed of about 4.5 km/s. A seismograph, located some distance away, records the arrival of the P wave and then, 140 s later, records the arrival of the S wave. Assuming that the waves travel in a straight line, how far is the seismograph from the earthquake?

Who were scientists able to use seismic information to develop a model of Earth’s interior?
How does Earth’s solid inner core affect seismic waves?
A. They go faster through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
B. They go slower through the inner core than the liquid outer core.
C. It blocks S waves from passing through.
D. It blocks P waves from passing through.
In the old testament when a man was caught in adultery not only was he stoned, but his wife and children. Where is the justice here. He even said He repented that He even made man and destroyed the earth with water along with all life. Except for Noah and his family. The all knowing God must have known that the first thing Noah would do was to plant a vineyard and get sot drunk and god knows what else. Did God not know that the people would again become more wicked with the growing population after the flood. 5,000 yr’s later and look at us now even more wicked. He said He would never destroy the earth again with water. Distruction is distruction no matter how it happens. Fire, earthquakes, pestilence, plague, or some other deadly calamity. What about the rainbow, the promise in the sky? Have you ever turned on the water hose using the fine spray and seen the same rainbow, only smaller. What’s the expanation to that one. Sorry, please, I just can’t wrap my mind around this one.
So we have a project about Earthquake Waves (seismic waves), and I’m making a powerpoint for it. Some of the information was easy to find and in the book, and I’m already done with that portion of the project. But now I’m onto the last part, which isn’t in the book nor was taught by my teacher, and I can’t find it anywhere. It is:
Earth’s Interior
– Explain how earthquake waves are used to make a model of Earth’s interior.
– Include atleast two pictures
The book doesn’t talk about making models by using earthquake waves. Please help!
The pattern of earthquakes around the world outlines what features? That is, if you look at the map of earthquakes you should notice that the earthquakes occur almost in lines (or zones) that surround areas of the Earth that have few earthquakes. The earthquakes thus outline these areas. What are the areas with few earthquakes called?
i have a science project i need help please!
How do earthquakes affect Earth’s surface?
Where do earthquakes occur?
Name a few cities that are prone to earthquakes. Why?
Describe earthquake Safety.
Please someone help
Does anyone know what to do just after naruto learned the "rhasengan" (spinny blue ball of DOOM) from Pervy Ninja and he launches Kabuto into a stone wall and the button sequence comes up? i got as far as B, X, Left on LS, A and then tsumani (or whatever) has to guide pervy ninja’s weird ass toad’s falling sword back to earth with LS. where does the game want m,e to make it land!!
I recently looked at Armagedon and it is not that movie. I think there is a small love story in it. I do remember that they were sending some people from earth into space. And that the space crew sacrificed themselves and that one of the crew members was blinded by the sun. What is the name of this movie?
Describe in your own words how seismic waves help in studying Earth’s interior.
Can we limit the devastation of earthquakes and volcanoes by knowing more about plate tectonics? Why does a seismic knowledge of the interior of the Earth help us on the surface? Should we initiate planning to avoid catastrophe-prone areas, or should we try to protect against those catastrophes as they occur?

The answer for this problem is 8.8 X 10^5 m. I can’t seem to get this answer… can you tell me how you did it if you know how to do it? Thanks!
for example another ice age?
or maybe a "heat" age?
china had too many people there and was putting a strain on the earth, and, some say, thats why the natural disaster occured (earthquake and stuff).

I want to know how earthquakes effect the earth in my science coursework.
What a bizarre day! I had a dream lastnight about an earthquake and I ran outside— the earth was cracking under my feet. This morning there a was small earthquake centered near St. Louis. The time of the quake was around 6:30 am. I live just outside of St. Louis on the Illinois side and my room was rattling and my clock said 4:36 am. I know it wasn’t part of my dream because I got up and came out to my computer and watched TV for a bit before trying to get back to bed. Is it possible there was one before the 6:30 am quake that didn’t register on the USGS site? I filled out one of those online forms around 4:45am, but apparently no one else felt it? And also do earthquakes make a "boom" sound, because everyone keeps reporting this sound. Sounds more like some sort of underground blast to me….. Am I nuts?
because like my husband says, there has to be a balance somewhere. Does anyone think that it’s causing more earthquakes. Since it provides about 98% of our energy to move about, surely we are removing a significant amount from the earth. What is everyone’s opinion?
I had dream this morning that I was with my sister/brother and suddenly there was downfall of earth similar like earthquake and then I started running on hill higher and higher. Suddenly I realized that I forget to save my sis/bro so I ran down again to look for them. Same time there was earthquake going on, houses was collapsing, people are running and I was searching and searching. There was lots of people around whom I do not know at all. finally my sister called me on phone and she was crying and I too started crying. I was praying that she is alive and I was crying too. Later there was something more but I do not remember. Hope to hear answer soon.
Yes I do have ome personal problem going on which I am quite concern about. In dream the quake was going on but i was not injred or my family too did not had any injury. It was just my sis was calling over phone and I was crying.
Maybe at least the engine block would make it to earth as a fireball and what would be the splash size then? Would it create a big enough wave in a giant lake, like as big as the Great Salt Lake?
