First, some general comments on the exam.

  • Some of you still don't know that there is no such thing as an instrument called a Richter Scale or an instrument called a Torino Scale (or a Fujita Scale or a Saffir-Simpson Scale for that matter).
     
  • Some of you need to remember that a Category 4 hurricane produces storm surges of 13 to 18 feet, so going to an interior room of your beach house that is 8 feet above sea level would not be a very safe thing to do.
     
  • Magmas cannot originate in the Earth's liquid outer core, because the outer core is a liquid of almost pure iron.  Magmas are liquids with mostly Silicon, Oxygen, Aluminum, Iron, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, and Potassium.
     
  • Hopefully, those of you who said that open fields and golf courses would be safe places to go to avoid a lightening strike will survive the next thunderstorm.
     
  • Those of you that still believe that during a hurricane (or tornado) you should open the doors and windows on the downwind side of your house and close the doors and windows on the upwind side of the house to relieve pressure had better re-evaluate your strategies - you live in hurricane (or tornado) country.  If you go by the answer you gave to this question on the final exam, expect that your house will be ripped apart by the hurricane (or tornado) force winds as they blow into your house.
     
  • Both affluent and poor countries are equally susceptible to natural disasters, although risk to life and property is often reduced in affluent countries due to their ability to prepare for and react to natural disasters. 
     
  • Earthquakes cause the same amount of damage whether they occur at night or in the middle of the day.  Casualties, however,  are usually greater if they occur in the day, at least in the United States.
     
  • The last time I checked, the letter C was still the third letter in the Alphabet.  I'm also pretty sure that it was the third letter in the alphabet when Hurricane Camille came ashore back in 1969.
     
  • Remember that the angle of repose is the angle of the steepest angle that is stable for a slope. - it is not the angle of the slope, as many of you inferred.

Have a Great Summer!
