Is there any correlation between La Niña/El Niño and seismic activity?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Danielle Botello Does El Niño cause earthquakes? In the first article, Daniel A. Walker of the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics at the University of Hawaii suggested that earthquakes along the East Pacific Rise were related to the vast changes of El Nino, which climate experts refer to as the Southern Oscillation.29 нояб. 1988
Predicting the weather in two months
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ian Rice How accurate are weather forecasts 2 months out? The Short Answer: A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 percent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10-day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.
Where are the poles of rotation of the tectonic plates located?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Ian Rice Where are tectonic plates located? Tectonic plates are gigantic pieces of the Earth’s crust and uppermost mantle. They are made up of oceanic crust and continental crust. Earthquakes occur around mid-ocean ridges and the large faults which mark the edges of the plates. What term is given to the pole around
Quality control in Seismic Acquisition – How much data is required?
Safety & HazardsAsked by: Patrick Paulson In [1], it is mentioned that just around 10 bytes/minute are sufficient. What is QC in seismic? Summary. Quality Control (QC) is an essential way of seismic data processing follow up necessary to insure appropriateness of the final deliverables. Qualitative approach based mainly on visual analysis of spectra, gathers, sections, slices
How do mesoscale eddies in the ocean transport heat between different layers of the ocean?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Patrick Paulson How are ocean eddies involved in the transfer of heat in the ocean? In addition to their role in moving heat poleward, mesoscale eddies effect a vertical transfer of heat in the ocean, largely moving heat upwards to partially compensate for the downward heat transport by time mean fields. What do
Generalized Soil Unit Information on Soil Characteristics of FAO/UNESCO Soil Map
Earth ScienceAsked by: Nikki Lopez What is soil according to FAO? Soil is the end product of the combined influence of climate, topography, organisms (flora, fauna and human) on parent materials (original rocks and minerals) over time. As a result soil differs from its parent material in texture, structure, consistency, color, chemical, biological and physical characteristics.
