There are many scales for measuring earthquakes?

There are two parameters to characterize an earthquake: magnitude and intensity. The magnitude is a measure of its strength in relation to the energy released and is calculated by measuring the maximum amplitude of seismic waves.

In 1935 the U.S. seismologists Charles Richter devised the logarithmic scale of magnitude that bears his name.

It has no upper limit, and an increase of one point implies that the magnitude of the earthquake increases tenfold. The most violent are over 7. Earlier, the Italian-Giu Sepp Mercalli had created a scale of 1 to 12 to measure the intensity of an earthquake, based on observation of its effects-that is subjective.

Laser Records

The laser projected to more intense
It is the Vulcan, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Chilton, Oxfordshire (England). After his improvement, completed in 2002, can produce a laser beam irradiation with an intensity approach 1,021 vaiios per cm2.

The highest altitude achieved by a device powered laser is 71 m. On October 2, 2000, Lighicraft Technologies (USA) managed to raise to 71 m, only with light, an artifact of 12.2 cm in diameter and 51 grams of weight.
To that end, fired from the ground to a laser device of carbon dioxide from 20 kilowatts U.S. military. The consequent expansion of air heated prompted the apparatus.
These tests took place at the shooting range missile White Sands in New Mexico (USA).

Salamanders - Messages of Love Through Them

From centuries the human beings have searched heat and light behind, by means of the fire, using it to not only take the cold away from the body, but besides the soul. When lighting the vent, not importing the mime's size, the high one and intensity of the flames, they produced a hypnotic effect on the men.

This way he/she went that you were discovered to the elementary spirits corresponding to the element Fire: the salamanders.

With running then of the time, the human beings learned how to request you you help these beings interpreting the movement of the flames.

This communication form with the salamanders, he/she can make it any person. To discover that they predict the salamanders mainly in the affective plan, we will detail the procedure mode and the keys to decrypt these messages.

The procedure is very plain, but you require of a lot of patience and concentration. For you light a vent and you observe during some minutes the flames of the conflagration until melting mentally in your colors and movements. To the end of some moments, you will be contagious of that vehement energy that produce the fire and your heat. You observe with patience and in a completely careful way as the dark forms leave generating. Have a notebook and a pencil by hand to take the necessary annotations that well can represent them with the drawings that you perceive in those magic flames.

After all ésto, you look at what you have drawn and you are about interpreting what the salamanders have wanted to transmit you by means of the flames of the fire.

As you are about beings of natural energy, in general they are expressed by means of physiques of animals. Here we also expose a guide so that you can interpret them according to your meanings:

Bird: necessity of freedom.
Wolf: sexual pent-up desires.
Winch: double-cross and game to two tips in the love.
Butterfly: you thrill and heart purity.
Dog: companionship and good couple relationship.
Snake: overflowing sexuality, reciprocal desires.
Dragon: to be able to of the sex, necessity to like to the other one.
Bear: I use of the sex like protection mechanism.
Mouse: fears of the childhood that end in moral prejudgments.
Horse: encounter proximate pasional.

How does an Earthquake Take place?

The surface of the tiera is divided in boards that fit as a puzzle. These boards are in movement and they advance an on the other one destroying their edges.

The continents are embedded on the boards and in turn, they move together with them in a named movement it "derives continental."

This movement, produces a pressure on the layers of rock of the terrestrial surface that it accumulates with the years until these cannot support it more.

It is this way then that begin to move and to crack destroying everything that that is on them. It is then to those "shakeouts" that you them flat Earthquake or Earthquake.

The place where it takes place the earthquake inside the earth, "focus" is named; and the biggest intensity feels in the epicenter; that is the point of the surface that is exactly above the focus.

The intensity of this, of it measures with the scale "Mercalli" that 1 go from the soft tremor of the point, to the total destruction of the point 12.

The seismic fields are distributed throughout the tectonic boards.

As fact not pettier, most of the earthquakes take place on-board of the Sea Pacific.
