Is metric system a chararistic of living things?
No. The metric system (and the Imperial system and any other system like them) is a system of measurement. In so far as all living things occupy a volume, have a mass and experience time, the system measures characteristics that living things experience but these are not, in themselves, characteristics of the living things.
How does an earhquake begin?
earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic eruptions or fault lines. earthquakes have what's called an epicenter, or the point at which it starts. From there, there are a series of three waves that erupt. P, S and surface waves. P waves are twice as fast as s waves and are useful in detecting earth quakes before the third waev arrives. P waves come first, then s, and finally, the surface or land waves come. These are the ones than destroy the ground in an actual wave like movement. Land waves are very slow, that's why it's useful in detecting the p waves, then an area can be evaucuated before the land waves come.
Does new jersey has a volcano under it?
Closest volcano is Dotsero in North Western Colorado. It is a 700 m wide by 400 m deep maar volcano located near the junction of the Colorado River and the Eagle River.

What are the problems faced by people in trying to reduce earthquakes?
