Earthquake Movements Simply Explained

Recently Christchurch and then Japan had terrible earthquakes with lots of after-shocks. They were caused by Tectonic plates moving under unbelievable pressure.

Some were thought to be Oscillatory, while others were believed to be Trepidatory.  It occurred to me that most people  might be confused about this,  so I thought it wise to let  everyone know the difference.
What's the difference between an Oscillatory and a Trepidatory earthquake ?  
1. Now,  this calculation is just for engineers. If you are competent in this field, this should explain it.

 2.  However, this one is for the layman and, having  access to your e-mailed offerings in the past, you should get the picture straight away. 
 
This is a trepidatory earthquake -- an up-and-down movement.....
This is an oscillatory earthquake -- a side-to-side movement... 
And this is a combination of both trepidatory and oscillatory !!
Now honestly, isn't science beautiful when properly explained?


What are  friends for ?

现在的100元真不算什么了……

一个女人、一个男人,
构成了一个家,温馨的家。
这个家怎么生存,如何持久下去,
女人说了算?
男人说了算?
NO
红色的毛爷爷说了算!

发达妹和她的男朋友最近经历了点曲折,
红色的毛爷爷和他们闹别扭,
毛爷爷在他们家的地位越来越低,
为什么呢?
因为现在的100元真不算什么了。
早上带着红毛爷爷出门——

吃了个早点,他已经变绿了;

吃了个午饭,他变黄了;

下午买杯饮料,他变灰了;

再买个煎饼果子。他变紫了;

坐个公交,他只剩菊花了。

最后买个棒棒糖。变成两个妹子了!

我刚扇了我的钱包一个耳光,其实没什么,就是希望它能肿起来。
它最近瘦得我都看不下去了!!

世界上最遥远的距离,不是去天安门看不到毛主席,而是打开钱包看不到毛主席。

网上说现在存折里不到百万不叫存款,叫余额。
审视了一下自己的工资,原来我的只能叫手续费。

哎,好在我想得很开,虽然没了毛爷爷,但是有两个妹妹相伴了。只是,老婆得看开点了……

家谱与部落格贴文

我昨午 (09/08/2020) 被二弟的两个子女(即侄子和侄女)气炸了!   旅居伦敦的侄子近日通过 Ancestry.com网站搞了一个刘氏家谱(Lau Family Tree),其中一半列出了他母亲(二弟前妻)Ooi氏的一大堆家族亲戚,最上一代与我祖母平行;而且又把他即将出...
