How do you make a skyscraper with stand an eartthquake?

Actually taller buildings withstand earthquakes a lot better because the shock is absorbed up the building. This causes lest force to be exerted. Usually buildings that are more than 10 stories remain standing, even after severe Earthquakes.


Is high pressure slow wind or fast wind?

For reasons I won't explain lest you should lapse into a coma, there is a physical limitation as to how sharply clockwise-circulating winds [Northern Hemisphere] can curve around a high pressure systems. The radius of curvature (how tightly winds can spiral) is significantly limited. Thus you get a broad area of light winds.There is no such physical limitation as to how sharply the air can curve when spiraling counter-clockwise [Northern Hemisphere] toward a low pressure center, so strong winds blowing in spirals that have small radii of curvature can develop.


What are the enverionmental concerns with obtaining coal?

To name a few: Mercury content (toxic, obviously), carbon dioxide output, carbon monoxide output (also toxic), nitrogenous and sulferous outputs (both, again, toxic). Why are these concerns? They trap heat in the atmosphere (carbon dioxide, especially), causing global warming, they cause severe respiratory problems to people and wildlife living anywhere within several hundred miles of a coal-fired plant, the emissions and cost of mining, refining, and transport of coal are extremely high against the overall benefit from burning it for energy, the mercury often gets into local water supplies, affecting, most predominantly, fish. Lake Michigan is a perfect example of what high mercury levels can do to a fish population. Due to the biomagnification effect (starting from the lowest end of the food chain, and magnifying the concentration of a substance as you go up), and the fact that most fish that are eaten are predatory, and are a good distance from the bottom of the food chain, the mercury concentration is high. It has been suggested, through several studies, that one not eat more than one fish from Lake Michigan per YEAR due to the mercury content, lest one get affected by the toxicity.


What is the cause of weather systems on earth?

Earth's weather is driven by the sun. Solar energy, sunlight, heats the earth, but it does not heat it evenly. Additionally, the earth radiates heat away differentially. The dynamic processes involved leave air masses on Earth with differences in temperature, and, therefore, differences in density. We know that warmer air rises, and cooler air pushes in underneath it. If we factor in the Coriolis forces operating around the planet, we get a mix of constantly moving air. In addition to all of this, consider that the planet is largely covered in water. With the evaporation of this water and the addition of atmospheric moisture into the equation, we arrive at a situation where atmospheric conditions are in constant flux and precipitation in many forms is involved. Predicting changes in weather is a challenge, particularly in the long term. The moisture or water cycle is a part of the weather cycle. Lest we forget, let's throw in the change of axial alignment (referenced to the orbital plane) and we get the changes of the seasons. We already assume that the dramatic changes in the warming and cooling between day and night are understood. In general, energy absorption and warming happen in the day, and re-radiation and cooling happen at night. This is a simplified explanation of the basic mechanism that drives weather and climate. There are whole books on just portions of this subject, and whole college courses on fractions of the larger whole. Atmospheric sciences and meteorology have flocks of PhD candidates vying for graduate school acceptance, and these bright people are eager to learn more about this broad science and to push out its boundaries.
