building or navigation. Any coastal culture with
these talents had big economical advantages and
greater access to food or supplies. But when

Warm sunny days, golden tans, beautiful sandy
beaches, and bright shimmering lights of the
cities at night. These are the images that came to
my mind when I thought of California. As a child,

beaches, people walking around in shorts, and
gentle breezes portrayed in the advertisements of

nature seems to reflect the good events happening

Physics of Tsunamis Wendy M. Blevins PS 102
Explorations in Physics Embry-Riddle Aeronautical
University Abstract This paper will discuss the
physics and warning systems of tsunamis, a
destructive wave force that researchers have been
studying for many years. Tsunamis are different
than tides or surface waves because undersea
earthquakes, instead of winds or the gravitational
pull of the moon or sun, generate them. They can
reach speeds of up to 700 kilometers per hour but
can be undetected unti...

the USGS model forecasts for 2000 and beyond.
Split sample analyses were used to assess the

Water It is impossible to underestimate the
importance of water for the humanity. Scientists
suppose that life on Earth has started under

natural sources, and deposits. We interact with
water every day: we use it to wash ourselves, to
drink and to cook meals. We need water to clean
the streets and to give life to our parks and
gardens. We enjoy watching fountains or artificial

Carbon Dioxide Emissions Back Into Space
2,423 words
Global Warming and Our Oceans Global warming and
climate change has become one of the most heated
environmental issues recently that has triggered a
lot of controversial responses. Because sunlight
is constantly falling on the earth, the law of
physics says that the planet has to radiate the
same amount of energy back into space. Infrared
radiation is sent out by the earth through the
atmosphere, where molecules (carbon dioxide) hold
outgoing radiation for a while, warming the
surface. The molec...

Different Types of Sharks INTRODUCTION Although
sharks belong to the class Chondrichtyes, there
are many different types. Sharks arose about 350
million years ago and have remained virtually
