Texas Nationalist Movement National Earthquake Information Center - NEIC Earthquake Hazards Program National Earthquake Information Center - NEIC The mission of the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) is to determine rapidly the location and size of all destructive earthquakes worldwide and to immediately disseminate this information to concerned national and international agencies, scientists, and the general public. The NEIC compiles and maintains an extensive, global seismic database on earthquake parameters and their effects that serves as a solid foundation for basic and applied earth science research.

Alaska The earth's most active seismic feature, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, brushes Alaska and the Aleutian Islands, where more earthquakes occur than in the other 49 States combined. More than 80 percent of the planet's tremors occur in the circum-Pacific belt, and about six percent of the large, shallow earthquakes are in the Alaska area, where as many as 4,000 earthquake at various depths are detected in a year. Early reports of earthquakes in Alaska are fragmentary. The first event in this incomplete record occurred on Sanak and Shumagin Islands, south of the Alaska Peninsula, in July 1788. Apparently no volcanic activity accompanied this event, but the islands of Sanak and Unga and a part of the Alaska Peninsula were inundated by an apparent tsunami (seismic sea wave). Instrumental locations of earthquakes since about 1900 indicate that earthquakes in Alaska center principally in two seismic zones. Both of the shocks were felt at villages over 400 miles from Yakutat Bay.
What is an Internet Troll? (Posting Guidelines - Netiquette) What is a Forum Troll? What is an Internet Troll? An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people. Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). Why does it Matter? Some people -- particularly those who have been online for years -- are not upset by trolls and consider them an inevitable hazard of using the net. It would be nice if everybody was so easy-going, but the sad fact is that trolls do discourage people. Another problem is that the negative emotions stirred up by trolls leak over into other discussions. Finally, trolls create a paranoid environment, such that a casual criticism by a new arrival can elicit a ferocious and inappropriate backlash. <...snip...> The Webmaster's Challenge What about Free Speech?

Volcano Hazards Program Largest Earthquakes in the US Livingsta is a writer who writes about anything that fascinates, provokes or interests her, always putting forth her best effort and focus. In the US, Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on an average of every 14 years. The largest recorded earthquake in the United States was a magnitude 9.2 quake that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska on Good Friday, March 28, 1964 UTC. Each year the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. From 1975-1995 there were only four states in the US that did not have any earthquakes. Listed below are a few of the largest earthquakes that occurred in the US.

Date: March 28, 1964 Time: 03:36 UTC Property loss: $311 million Magnitude: 9.2 2. 3.
