Animal Project
[] purpose- Build on earthquake-proof structure

Hypothesis- I think with the small earthquake the structure wont go down that fast unlike the bigger shake. Earthquake Tower

You and your partner have been hired as the structural engineers in charge of designing a new 2-story art building. There are many building codes you must follow. Each floor of the building must support **//at least//** 250 grams of weight. Also, the building will be located near an earthquake fault; therefore your building must be able to withstand **//both//** small and large earthquakes. Since the building will be used for art classes, you may be as creative as you like with the shape and design of the building (it does not need to be box shaped).


 * __You are limited to the following materials:__**
 * 1 cardboard base (approximately 25 cm by 25 cm)
 * 30 straws
 * 100 paper clips (one box)
 * 20 pins
 * 2 meters of string


 * __Your building must meet the following requirements:__**
 * The building must fit on the base. Attach your building to the base using pins, paper clips, or string.
 * Your building must be at least 36 cm tall.
 * Your building has 2 stories that are each at least 18 cm tall (approximately the height of 1 straw).
 * Each story must support the weight of at least 1 sand bag (250 grams) without collapsing.
 * A construction drawing with measurements and analysis must be submitted before earthquake testing.
 * To survive an earthquake test, the building must not collapse for 10 seconds after the earthquake begins. The weights must stay on the building. You have 1 minute to repair any damage to your building before the next earthquake test.


 * __Hints and tips:__**
 * **PLAN CAREFULLY!** Additional supplies will not be provided.
 * Remember these words of wisdom: “Measure twice. Cut once.”
 * Use the concepts of tension and compression. If an element is in tension and not compression, you can use string instead of straws.
 * Try building without pins first, then add pins where connections need reinforcement.
 * Make sure that your foundation is very strong.
 * Remember to design a way to secure the weights so that they don’t fall off **AND** so you can add additional weights to the top story.

===Did you know earthquakes events are history? Back in the days like in the years 1638, 1661, 1663, and 1732 St. Lawrence Valley had a earthquake and it was felt in New York. This Shock was so powerful that you could feel it all the way in Philadelphia, Delaware, back in Boston, and lastly New Castle. On August 10,1884 an earthquake made huge crack on the walls of Jamaica and also in Amityville. This earthquake happened a long time ago.Back to the August 10,1884 earthquake, this earthquake hit strongly New York. However fallen bricks and plaster cracked were reported from West Chester, Hartford, and Pennsylvania. Did you feel the most recent earthquake during the summer of 2011? It was a Wednesday, August 24, and to be exact 11:24 Am., 5.8 magnitude by the way. Seems that the month of August is known for earthquake? Sometime you think earthquakes dont happen beacuase you dont hear it on the news or anything but oh yes I'll prove you what am saying, in the Aegean Sea there was one right this month! 2/14/12!, you didnt hear a word about this right? I dont know why radio stations or the news dont know, maybe this sea or places are so hard to fix that you cant even see them nor know if a earthquake occurred there.=== ==Cause and Effects-Am going to tell you one cause and one effect.Horrible damage,harmful damage are caused simply when two blocks of the earths slip! They slip to one another. Instead of using the word "slip" when they "slip" that is called fault, a fault plan.. A earthquake can bring down a entire house, tree branches. Due to what i have researched earthquakes basically destroy everything in it's way and maybe everyone.I forgot another effect is that all this little countries have low intensity,which is what causes a earthquake .Shaking or sometimes displacement of the ground are how earthquakes manifest.The "shaking" caused by seismic waves, can make damage to buildings and collapse. The level of damage done to a structure is based on the amplitude and the duration (time) of shaking.The longer time it keeps shaking the size of the earthquake gets bigger(by the way larger quakes shake longer because they rupture larger areas), most important are the local site conditions.Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth's plates meet along plate boundaries .For example as two plates move towards each other, one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it causes a lot of pressure on surrounding rocks. When this pressure is released it products a earthquake.Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the earth's tectonic plates. Earthquakes occur where the earth's plates meet along plate boundaries (see plate tectonics page for more information on this).For example as two plates move towards each other, one can be pushed down under the other one into the mantle. If this plate gets stuck it causes a lot of pressure on surrounding rocks. When this pressure is released it produces shock waves. These are called seismic waves. . The waves spread out from the point where the earthquake started. More damage is done near the focus.==

==Process of an Earthquake- When a sudden tension is released most likely along a fault line or what i like to call it a plane fault. Maybe am using high vocabulary so what i mean by a sudden tension and all that good information is when active plate boundaries are but together and create more and highter tension and who knows even then Die Hard Movie When allof this is relased unlucky a earthquake occurs.When rocks plates are stressed againest each other and no more can held on to each other, the strain energy is relased.Another way an earthquke can occur is when onces again they rub real hard againest each other and move back an forward. Changing to another process ..how does this places such as Haiti and Japen get badly damge because of a earthquake? Well that cause this low life countries are close to oceans, lakes, river and water parts. You can see this on a map ,next time in your social studies clss check it out! Hot volcanic materials rises from Earths mantle filled with gas, causing continuously new ocenic crust. There so many ways to explain this ,one process explained in 3 or maybe 4 different ways.Seismic Waves is the result of sudden engery that is released on earsth crust creating again the process of a earthquake. The earth's **crust** is made up of several pieces, called **plates**. The plates under the oceans are called oceanic plates and the rest are continental plates. The plates are moved around by the motion of a deeper part of the earth that lies underneath the crust. These plates are always bumping into each other, pulling away from each other, or past each other. The plates usually move at about the same speed that your fingernails grow. Earthquakes usually occur where two plates are running into each other or sliding past each other.Places where earthquakes occur the most- We cant tell or just say where in the world earthquakes happen the most, because for explame lets say in Japan earthquakes happen 5-6 times a year and in Haiti earthquakes can occur 1-3 times in a year.Due to world wide estimation of earthquakes it is seems that nine places. This places are Places that you mostly hear on the news, on radio station that they have the bad weather.South America, definelty Japen, Africa, India, i know you heard of Haiti recenctly, Caribbean, and ught lastly Australia. I said ught beacuase it is very sad to know that there are nine places where this occur the most, earthquakes shouldtn happpen at all!, but oh well that is Earth. IF you think about it, you cant rigth of the bat say in " this place earthquaker occur the most" beacuase maybe where you find the results it can be guessed. Personally i would always think thatt earthquakes happen beacuase of the hotness of teh country or place, but no... as a matter of fact this is interesting ,do earthquake have to do with the weather or hotness of that certain place? For the earthquake that happen during the summer of 2011 it was very hot and sticky.==

Explaintion of Types of Earthquakes and what are they-
== There are many different types of earthquakes: tectonic, volcanic, and explosion. The type of earthquake depends on the region where it occurs and the geological make-up of that region. The most common are **tectonic earthquakes**. These occur when rocks in the earth's crust break due to geological forces created by movement of tectonic plates. Tectonic Earthqukes are most likely to happen.What would you think of the type of earthquakes called "Volcanic" Sure has somthing to do with volcano right? Your correct happen mainly in conjunction with volcanic activity.Collapse are small earthquakes in underground caverns,and more things like mines.Explosion is another kind of earthquake that ends up with the result of nuclear and chemical devices. ==

in March 11, 2011

Japen? The Place where a earthquake effeccted the most?
==-Yeah! In March 11,2011 the most massive earthquake hit the small towns of Japen.There is a whole list of cities most affected by Japan Earthquake,tsunami including crisis,There is a picture of the watse the was left after the earthquake.Did you kow this? and by the way there is more know,Japan has reclassified its nuclear disaster to a 7, the same level as the [|Chernobyl nuclear disaster]. However, while worse than [|Three Mile Island], its not really as bad as Chernobyl. There, a raging fire spewed radioactive particles into the jet stream for days, contaminated the surrounding countryside and even made its way to [|Europe].== ==The 8.9-magnitude earthquake triggered a deadly tsunami that washed far inland, swamping towns, sweeping away a train and sparking massive fires that burned through the night.Horrible to admit that The most-powerful earthquake in Japan's recorded history struck off the country's northeast coast, leaving hundreds of people dead, injured or missing.==

Difference Between A Earthquake And Tsunami
==Earthquake and Tsunami are both natural [|disasters] of epic proportions that have caused devastation in terms of damage of property and lives whenever they have struck in any part of the world. These disasters are not of same magnitude all the time and it is their magnitude that decides the level of destruction that takes place in their wake. There are many similarities between earthquakes and tsunamis but there is also difference between earthquake and tsunami. This article will highlight the features of both and how they are related at the same time pointing out their differences.Earthquakes are harmful with all a== ==sudden shaking and quivering of earth that takes place when the plates that are below the surface of the earth change directions. The term earthquake is referred to sudden slip. A Tsunami is a series of a sea waves that are huge and move forward at a great pace to take off with anything that comes in its direction.== m Lizbeth Almonte, From class 613 Science Class Ms.Jones.

WEATHER=SNOWSTORMS =)

Snowstorms happen by 35miles per hour,-20 Fahrenheit. It would most likely feel very cold.Snowstorms are up to 400 or 500 feet, depending on the place. For example if you life near mountains, you will see cars, and streets full of snow,everywhere.

A snowstorm is a heavy fall of snow, with very high wind.Snowstorms have a large quantity of snow.Snowstorms have water vapor, precipitation of small and dry crystals of water vapor. A lot of snow,cold,fast and heavy wind is what snowstorms are all about.
