How we Identify the damages caused by earthquake?
Look for structural changes, like building is now horizontal rather then vertical.
What are injuries by earthquakes mostly caused by?
the earth quake...haha.......no probably falling debree
Why is the earth magnetic full detail?
The earth has a magnetic field which is similar to a magnetic bar tilted 11 degrees. This is caused because of the North and South pole.
Can you have a fever with a virus infection?
Yes. In fact fever is a classic symptom of the flu, which is caused by a virus. These fevers generally range from 100-103 degrees F.
What problems could be caused if the pcv valve was left off?
You probably would have a sever vacuum leak and the power brakes wouldn't work very good and the engine would idle fast.
What angle will a shot putter's shot go the furthest?
Theoretically a projectile will travel furthest when it is shot at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal. However, resistances caused by wind and rain will affect that. It probably has little effect on the flight of the shot. In that case the speed at which the ball leaves the shot putter's hand is of equal importance.
What is a smooth stone with layers called?
The most common smooth stone with layers is sandstone, The differently colored layers are caused as different layers of sediment build up. The Painted Dessert is one of the most spectacular examples of sandstone layers.
What are the forces that affect the horizontal movement of air?
The forces that affect the horizontal movement of air are gravity and air pressure. Wind is caused by the differences in air mass temperature.
Overlapping of teeth iN a radiograph is caused by?
Overlapping of teeth in a radiograph, assuming no unusual malocclusion, is caused by improper horizontal angulation of the x-ray beam.
What is a horizontal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near surface of the ocean?
Surface current

What was the Boston massacre probably caused by?
It was mostly caused by British Troops settling in Boston.
What are tide currents?
Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
What kinds of sicknesses are probably caused by germs?

What caused the shape of the Grand Cayon?
The grand canyon was formed when excessive and massive overflow of water washed off soft and loosen sandstone and dirt leaving hard ground intacted. As water continue down stream, soft sandstone and dirt get washed off and this created deeper channel as water decreases. At the same time water waves created and separated strata layers by bouncing and washing off loosen dirt between layers, making horizontal lines all the way from the top to the bottom. These horizontal lines prove that water did flood the area creating a massive canyon. A small river would not be able to create a several miles wide canyon. The fact that the top and bottom strata layers look identical in age suggests that the canyon may have been created at the same or not too distant set of times.
What can create a horizontal spinning column near Earth's surface eventually turning into a vertical tornado?
The horizontal rotation is caused by wind shear, differences in wind speed and direction with altitude. This can create horizontal vorticity in the air. This horizontal rotation then gets caught in the updrafts of thunderstorms in the area, which turn this rolling into vertical rotating columns within the storms. Eventually, the rotation in the storm can tighten and intensify to produce a tornado.
