A small vibration sensor, attached to a computer display, graphically monitors the intermittent motion. This motion mimics the intermittent fault slippage (elastic rebound) that characterizes the earthquake fault z.
Extractions: Educational Global Climate Change Links Evidence of the importance of global climate change to the future generation is reflected in the increasing number of queries CDIAC receives from students and educators, from a range of educational levels. We have compiled a listing of some sites that we hope will be of interest and of use to those looking for information, fun, ideas, and ways that they can make a difference. These links were chosen because we have found them useful in responding to those with inquiring minds. These links will take the user outside of CDIAC, and are by no means comprehensive. We are not responsible for the content or intent of these outside links. Tools you can use! Climate Change Calculator How many pounds of CO do you produce each day?
