Why does nuclear fusion in the sun only occur near the center? What is the difference between converging and diverging waves? What would happen if you drilled a hole through the center of the earth and dropped something down it? Why doesn't Mars have active volcanoes...
One of the models proposed to explain focal mechanism reversal at neighbouring locations in volcanic environments and thus, potentially, anti-correlated waveforms, suggests that these earthquakes may occur along neighbouring, subparallel faults at the tip of a propagating dike or near dike constrictions...
Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain why double zones occur 8 . Here we investigate the role of thermal stresses for the state of stress in a descending plate and test whether they can account for the observed characteristics of double seismic zones. By modelling the descending slab ...
How do earthquakes create mountain ranges? How is the Peru-Chile Trench related to the Andes Mountains? Why are volcanoes largely absent where two continental blocks collide? What type of mountain formation is the Rockies? Describe a model for...

Are there earthquakes or hurricanes and, if so, how can the bridge be designed to survive them? Will a river bridge be able to cope with floods? And what about the loads it will carry? If it's a road bridge, how much is traffic likely to increase over the coming years and decades,...
When a risk is transferred, the party assuming the risk becomes responsible for compensating the transferring party in the event of a loss. The transfer can occur through various methods such as insurance, reinsurance, hedging, or utilizing options and derivatives. Each method has its own unique ...
1 Although mass shootings are often the focus of public attention, most gun murders and assaults occur in everyday incidents involving a small number of people (typically 2 individuals).2 Furthermore, gun violence tends to concentrate within socially and economically disadvantaged minority urban ...
One of Iceland's largest volcanoes sees swarm of 130 earthquakes — could it be about to blow? 'Warm water' from deep sea flowing towards one of Antarctica's largest ice shelves 20,000-year-old 'human' fossils from Japan aren't what we thought Were the Celts matriarchal? Ancient DNA re...
