As the archetypal space of education, a classroom is an assemblage of other objects (desks, board), and school life extends to corridors and other places where people come together for knowledge co-constructio...
If the earth's gravity alone was responsible for creating a new geography, the huge bulge of oceanic water—which is now about 8 km high at the equator—would migrate to where a stationary earth's gravity would be the strongest. This bulge is attributed to the centrifugal effect of earth'...
This clear space is encircled by a ring of heavy rain and debris that is typically moving outward, away from the tornado’s center. That’s because the winds are spinning incredibly fast and creating centrifugal force that pulls these objects away from the center of the storm. Areas of heavy...
In 1929, Arthur Holmes, a British geologist, introduced a theory of thermal convection to explain the movement of the Earth's continents. He said that as a substance is heated its density decreases and it rises until it cools sufficiently to sink again. According to Holmes it was this heatin...
is supposed to. A major high-tech feature of some high speed trainsets is their “tilting” ability, usually seen in Alstom’sPendolinotrainsets in Europe. When going around curves at high speed, this technology allows the train to “tilt” or physically lean into the curve so the train ...
1. The assumed demand for energy is based on a reference case, which was created by harmonizing the most recent official projections of several U.S. government agencies. Changes in the projected GDP growth rates and ...

A disaster is defined as a sudden, destructive occurrence that disrupts a community's or society's functioning and causes human, environmental damage, economic and material losses. It is greater than the community's or society's capacity to cope with using its resources. While often caused by ...
