...To have the opportunity to reapply to Long Beach State University through BEACH pathways is a great privilege to me. I currently have an older sister attending Long Beach State University, having her as support system when entering a new chapter in my life would be great way to start on the right track. I have attended the campus on several occasions and I’ve fallen in love with the school. The campus provides so much for me, for example the Horn Center, and the library; these are all resources that will help me achieve academic success since I do not have access to this at home. I have also attended classes at Long Beach State as a guest. During my visit I learned that the teachers in these classes are very entertaining and active while they teach. I believe that I can achieve all of my goals at the CSULB campus and even go the extra mile. For the past three years I have been involved in my high schools cheerleading squad and would love to continue once I become a forty ninner. CSULB has a great cheerleading team, and it would be an honor to represent such a great school. My sister was recently rushing for a sorority, they did many activities around the school and I became very interested in joining as a freshmen. I have faith that within the Beach community I will be able to succeed academically and socially. I know CSULB is meant for...

...Puvungna is the name of an Indian village in which California State University, Long Beach was built on. This village is believed to have been populated by the Tongva, also known as Gabrielino, people. They were indigenous people that called the surrounding Los Angeles region as home. Puvungna still remains sacred to the Gabrielino people as they believe it was the birthplace of Chingishnish. Chungishnish is believe to be the major deity or culture hero in Tongva mythology. As stated above, the Tongva people are also known as the Gabrielno, Fernandeno, and Nicoleno people. These people were among the most powerful indigenous people that inhabited Southern California. The downfall of the Tongva people were basically eradicated with the building of the Mission San Bariel in 1771. With the construction of this mission the Tongva people were forced to relocate and were exposed to disease. Despite their hardships, the Tongva people were extremely resilient people and resisted any Spanish dominance. They resisted the Spanish rule so much that in 1785 they led a rebellion against them, interestingly enough it was led by a female chief. After California was ceded in the the United States of America, the u.s. government promised the Tongva people over 8.5 million acres of land, but this promise was never followed through. Since the failed ratification of the treaty that promised land to the Tongva people for reservations, there has been a hasty collapse among the Tongva population...

...Director of Earthquake Preparedness, Los Angeles FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 05th September 2012 Earthquake Preparedness Los Angeles, California – Earthquakes usually occur without any warning given to public and has the capability of enormous destruction which could lead to severe loss of lives and huge destructions. Natural disasters like earthquakes-preparing ahead of time can help us to save lives, protect our property and increase the pace of recovery. There are few simple steps that should be followed for preparing for such natural calamities like earthquakes. Southern California has a very high seismic activity. The San Andreas Fault is the largest and very famous fault in California. Because of a number of such faults, California is highly prone to earthquakes. In the past 100 years, there have been 4 major earthquakes in Los Angeles: Long Beach in 1933, San Fernando in 1971, Whittier Narrows in 1987 and the Northridge Quake in 1994. One of the most well-known earthquakes of California is the earthquake of San Fransisco in 1906. The magnitude of 7.8 collapsed the buildings in this region. Only after this quake, earthquake measuring instruments were developed and scientific techniques were created. The long beach earthquake very narrowly avoided a major disaster because of the timing. It could have led to severe life losses if it happened sometime before the actual one. In this area of Los Angeles, small tremors are always felt. The greatest Southern California earthquake...

...Instructor: Allen Fronabarger According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) one of the leading agency that monitor real time earthquake in the state of Los Angeles, states it is a very high risk for frequent damaging earthquakes. These earthquakes are results from many fault systems that moving through Los Angeles that leads to earthquakes of many different types and sizes. South California has more than 10,000 earthquakes every year; many of them are very small and sometime never even cause any damage or even felt. However, Los Angeles do have large earthquake that create after shocks the causes many damages and sometimes these aftershock can create sequence of additional earthquake that can occur for months. On March 10, 1933 at 5:54 p.m. magnitude 6.4 earthquakes hit the Newport-Inglewood Fault, causing serious damage in Long Beach and other communities. The earthquake resulted in 120 deaths and more than $50 million in property damage. Most of the damaged buildings were of unreinforced masonry. The most recent earthquake in South California caused severe structural damage to buildings but did not caused any deaths, however, on February 9, 1971 caused the city about $500 million in damages and 65 deaths. On October 1, 1987 at 7:42 a.m. an earthquake of the magnitude 5.9. struck the city causing eight deaths and $358 million property damages. Earthquake is caused when the two sided of a fault slip suddenly against each other. The frictions between the plates will cause stress...

The most affected area was port au price. How earthquakes happen An earthquake is formed when two plates rub against each other for a long period of time the place that is most affected is were the earthquake actually happened and is called the epicentre. Earthquakes happen along the plate edges. Britain does not have big earthquakes because they are in the centre of the Eurasian plate. An explanation of what happened On the 12 January 2010 there was a massive earthquake killing millions of people. Haiti was already a poor country with lots of diseases and a messed up economy.

...Chile is located in South America, bounded on the east by the Andes, the world's longest mountain range, and the Pacific Ocean on the west. Peru borders Chile on the North; Bolivia forms the northeast border. Chile’s size is roughly similar to Turkey, considering only the continental territory. Chile includes three geographical zones. The first is so-called continental zone, which includes territory from the west coast to the high mountains in the east. Chile’s continental zone is a long and thin strip of 4,270 kilometers-length and 445 kilometers-width at its widest point. As the Nobel-Prize poet, Gabriela Mistral, lyrically pointed out, Chile “comes to seem like a beach between the mountains and the sea, a parenthesis whimsically set between...

... Sri Lanka and Thailand. The Indian Ocean Tsunami was created by a series of chain affects including subduction, formation of an earthquake, formation of a tsunami and wave formation. Subduction is the process that takes place at the boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate. The tectonic plates push against each other, causing a build up of pressure, which causes dramatic movement. The Indian Ocean Tsunami was located 250 kms off the West coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The process of the Indonesian Tsunami was caused by the denser Indo-Australian plate was moving east while grinding against the lighter Burma tectonic plate and this caused the Burma plate to move about six centimetres a year over 150 years which caused a large amount of pressure to build up. The build up of pressure of by the Indo-Australian and Burma Tectonic plates in the continent of South-East Asia caused the formation of the earthquake that formed the Indian Ocean Tsunami. The build up of pressure over the years, forced the earths crust to break, causing a 9.3 magnitude earthquake on the 26th of December 2004. The epicentre of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface directly above the focus of an earthquake and is the centre where the waves radiate out in all directions as the earths surface shakes. The epicentre of the earthquake was 30km below the Indian Ocean’s surface and it shook for 8 minutes. The formation of the Indian Ocean Tsunami was caused by...

...One” means: a tremendous earthquake that scientists predict will rock the state of California, which sits on the famous San Andreas Fault line, an 800-mile line of weakness that runs through California. Overland, it runs for 625 miles, running north-south from Point Arena in north San Francisco to the border with Mexico. The most risky stretch of this fault, the southern part, passes about 35 miles from Los Angeles. Being the biggest and most populated city closest to the fault, Los Angeles is a high-risky region in the event of a big earthquake. There are over four million residents and 400, 000 businesses within Los Angeles city, an area of 475 square miles. It is one of the City’s greatest responsibilities to protect the public and ensure that all responsible agencies are prepared for immediate response and rescue operations in the event of earthquakes and other related disasters. The starting point, the focus of this press release, is educating the public about the causes of earthquakes, associated disasters, and vulnerability of Los Angeles to future earthquake events. Hazards Associated Earthquakes in Los Angeles The common disasters associated with earthquakes include the disruption of public, social and business activities, as well as destruction of property, and in serious cases, loss of life. In addition, earthquakes destroy infrastructure such as electricity lines, roads, water, and sewage drainage systems. Consequently, if an earthquake strikes it will paralyze...

...areas of interest that many tourists have spent most or all of their time in. We shall start by taking a look at the Dunn’s river falls which are among one of the best features in Jamaica and in almost every online site that you will visit. It was there from long ago but by then not so many appreciated the beauty of the falls until the “invalids” started showing up and appreciating their environment. The Dunn’s river falls is thus one of the many interesting places that you should head out and at least take a peek before you get too excited about the next areas of interest that we are going to look at. The Doctor’s cave beach is the second area of interest on our list and the interesting fact about this beach is that unlike the Dunn’s river falls which gained fame soon after the tourists began showing up in Jamaica, the Doctor’s cave beach has been an area of interest for well over a century! The crystal clear turquoise water plus the sand beach is all that you would need to make sure that your vacation in Jamaica is both relaxing and totally worth it. The cool waters at the beach also make it possible for swimmers or to-be swimmers to enjoy swimming while sharpening their swimming skills. Besides the Doctor’s cave beach which is considered a popular area of interest by many, Rose hall Great house is another fantastic place that you wouldn’t want to miss while you are on vacation in Jamaica. It has a pretty interesting story behind it too that would sound spooky...

...How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts, huge volcanic eruptions, or great earthquakes? Uniformitarianism is a theory that states that past events are happening today and will happen in the future. What we do today has an effect on the geologic formation and structure and can lead to natural disasters. 5. In what ways do geologic processes affect your daily life? Daily life can be interrupted by flooding, tornadoes, earthquakes and wildfires destroying communities and resources that provide stability. Chapter 2: Critical and Creative Thinking Questions 1 & 3 1. When astronauts brought back rock samples from the Moon, the minerals present were mostly the same as those found on Earth. Can you think of reasons why this might be so? Would you expect minerals on Mars or Venus to be the same, or at least very similar, to those on Earth? Moon and Earth are close neighbors so some of the similarities are to be expected. Mars, Venus and Earth are inner planets and similar because they are small and made up of solid rock like materials. 3. Which of the following materials are minerals, and why (or why not)? Water; beach sand; diamond; wood; vitamin pill; gold nugget; fishbone; emerald. Water is not a mineral because it is a liquid. Beach sand, diamond, gold nugget and emerald are all minerals because they form naturally. Fishbone is not a mineral because it comes from fish. Wood is not a mineral...

...analysis is Los Angeles CA and the hazard that is the highest risk to the city is an earthquake. L.A. is the second largest city in the United States; it encompasses over 498 square miles and is surrounded by mountains and ocean. L.A. is a very urban environment, its high concentration of infrastructure makes it vulnerable to earthquakes, but at the same time it also gives it the resources it needs to respond to earthquakes or any other hazards. L.A. has had a few large scale earthquakes in the last decades and some geological experts predict it will suffer a major quake in the near future. How it has responded to those disasters in the past is what has laid the foundation as to how the city will deal with future earthquakes or other hazards and attempt to minimize their impact on the city. Los Angeles lies around 60 miles from the San Andreas Fault. This fault line is one the most active fault lines in the world and as such is capable of producing severe earthquakes. And even though Los Angeles doesn’t lie directly underneath it like the city of San Francisco, the fault line does pose a great danger to the city. But even more of a threat to the city is the many unknown smaller fault lines that run beneath it. With a population of over 4 million people, a large size earth quake would cause substantial damage and injure or kill a large number of people. L.A. has had around six major earthquakes that were 6.0 or stronger in the last hundred years. It does also have thousands of...
