[BITList] Understanding Earthquakes ...

[FA]

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/
/*
*/Recently, Christchurch, NZ and then Japan, had terrible earthquakes 
with lots of after shocks. They were caused by Tectonic plates moving 
under unbelievable pressure.

Some were thought to be Oscillatory, while others were believed to be 
Trepidatory.  It occurred to me that most people might be confused about 
this, so I thought it wise to try to explain the difference./*
*/
What's the difference between an Oscillatory and a Trepidatory 
earthquake?/**//**/
/**/
1. Now this calculation is just for engineers.  If you are competent in 
this field this should explain it: /**/
/**//*

*/2. However, this explanation is for the layman and, having access to 
your emailed offerings in the past, you should get the picture straight 
away./**//*
*/
This is a trepidatory earthquake -- an up and down movement:/*

*/
/**//*

*/ This is an oscillatory earthquake -- a side to side movement:/*

*/
/**/


And this is a combination of both trepidatory and oscillatory:/*

*/
/**//*

*/

Now honestly, isn't science beautiful when properly explained?/*
*/What are friends for?/*
*/No, no need to thank me.../*
