Cochran's early research was on the impact of the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake. [4] [5] Her subsequent work examined the geographic extent of earthquake damage, [6] and defined the factors that lead to the 2011 Oklahoma earthquake. [7] In 2006, Cochran co-foundered of Quake-Catcher Network, a crowd-sourced program that detects earthquakes. [2]
An earthquake – also called a quake, tremor, or temblor – is the shaking of the Earth's surface resulting from a sudden release of energy in the lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
The band split up in the early 1980s, although a compilation album, Sittin in the Middle of Madness, was issued in 2000. [6] The first two albums, Earth Quake (1971) and Why Don't You Try Me? (1972), were remastered and rereleased December 27, 2004 on Acadia Records. Gary Phillips died in 2007, at the age of 59.
Magnitude is the size of the earthquake, recorded by seismometers and expressed in whole numbers and decimal fractions. For example, a magnitude 5.3 is a moderate earthquake, and a 6.3 is a strong ...
The Northridge Earthquake was the subject of the 1995 film Epicenter U., a first-hand account of healing from the natural disaster, directed by Alexis Krasilovsky. [71] [72] The Earthquake Haggadah (1995) was a video excerpt from Epicenter U. narrated by Wanda Coleman. Distributed in 3/4" and VHS by the Poetry Film Workshop circa 1998.
The ISC-GEM Global Instrumental Earthquake Catalogue (1900-2013) (prepared at the request of the GEM Foundation) catalogs magnitude 5.5 or greater earthquakes suitable for modeling and assessing seismic hazard and risk. Epicentral locations and hypocentral depths were recalculated from original travel time data using a consistent velocity model.
A school band is a group of student musicians who rehearse and perform instrumental music together. A concert band is usually under the direction of one or more conductors (band directors). A school band consists of woodwind instruments, brass instruments and percussion instruments, although upper level bands may also have string basses or bass ...
An earthquake struck the Jordan Rift Valley on December 5, AD 1033 and caused extreme devastation in the Levant region. It was part of a sequence of four strong earthquakes in the region between 1033 and 1035. Scholars have estimated the moment magnitude to be greater than 7.0 M w and evaluated the Modified Mercalli intensity to X (Extreme).
