Earth Sciences & Geology - December 2007

I mean the countries that got snow during winter without considering those that got it because of altitude (the country must have snow somewhere below 500 meters/1650 feet), or there are a lot to mention?

Found this and thought it was odd, an earthquake killed the same number of people in 1138 as did the 2004 tsunami, check this out, weird huh?
10. Aleppo Earthquake - 1138, Syria [Deaths: 230,000]
Aleppo is located along the northern part of the Dead Sea Transform system of geologic faults, which is a plate boundary separating the Arabian plate from the African plate. The earthquake was the beginning of the first of two intense sequences of earthquakes in the region: October 1138 to June 1139 and a much more intense series from September 1156 to May 1159.

The worst hit area was Harim, where Crusaders had built a large citadel. Sources indicate that the castle was destroyed and the church fell in on itself. The fort of Atharib, then occupied by Muslims, was destroyed. The citadel also collapsed, killing 600 of the castle guard, though the governor and some servants survived, and fled to Mosul.
Number of lives lost to 2004 tsunami: 230,000

Discuss volcanic hazards. Although commonly thought to be associated with most volcanic eruptions (by the general public), lava is rarely responsible for the loss of life. Which hazards would tend to be more deadly? Finally, indicate and discuss those hazards that are a direct result of volcanic activity as well as those hazards that are indirectly linked

Ok I'm going to talk as if this really happened so it makes more since!!!

I wanted to time travel into the future with my time watch one day and so I was thinking im only going to go 24 hours into the future, but I go out and buy a rifle just in case something happens because im just visiting the future anyways, ill just go back in time and the whole thing would have never happened so whats the difference, so when I go into the future 24 hours I walk into my room first to see if there will be another me or not and there is another me, but he has a pistol pointed at me, and I was wondering what was going on because I don't have a pistol and im confused, he told me to put the gun down and he wont shoot, but I decided to kill the other me and just go back to where I came from and the whole thing would have never happened. But oh no now I know that in 24 hours another me will show up with a gun so I get a pistol to kill him first, if I still die, would "I" still be alive or him?

What's the difference between a fat and a sugar? Can we burn them both by oxphos? Oxphos is oxidative phosphorylation right?, this means adding oxygen to stuff and reducing it, making it less reactive, is this correct? Or can we add H as well?

Scientists predict that the daily addition of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, combined with daily removal of large portions of the world’s forests, will raise the earth’s average temperature by several degrees in the next century. This in turn will raise the level of the sea and potentially create significant changes in weather patterns on a global scale. As we move into the future, many climatologists expect that most of the United States will warm. What we do not know yet is how to scientifically predict which parts of the nation will become wetter or drier. We do know there is likely to be an overall trend toward increased precipitation and evaporation, and more intense weather systems, in the form of violent rainstorms, blizzards and sun-baked, drier soils. Sea levels have ALREADY risen approximately 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) worldwide in the last century, due to melting mountain glaciers and ocean expansion from warmer ocean temperatures. and if sea levels continue to increase that will cause a change in the tide pattern and moving belts resulting in more Tsunami's. possible ones will be hitting New york and as for LA well u guys have the andreas fault line to worry abt and the pacific rng of fire which volcanoes are already showing signs of life. so alot more earthquakes and erruptions for u guys. and any other places around the coast lines r screwed unless your on the mile high city. and even then im sure something else will come after us. and natural catastrophies arent the only things we need to worry abt warmer climates will increase the mosquito population bc of the ideal conditions for the insect. This will then increase the transmission of diseases such as * Eastern equine encephalitis * Japanese encephalitis* West Nile virus* Western equine encephalitis Dengue Fever Malaria Rift Valley Fever Yellow Fever and many others that im sure will start to pop up. and the warmer climates might even make more diseases pop up i mean we already have the The H5N1 virus is jumping species and it is mutating. On June 9 they killed 13,000 geese in Western China, It is only a matter of time before it begins to jump from human to human. were going to be looking at another pandemic like in 1918's influenza pandemic. so warmer conditions ideal environments for disease spreading and outbreaks, natural catastrophies like Tsunamies, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes ect.
