First, some general comments on the exam.

  • It is absolutely amazing that some of you cannot get it straight the levee breaches that occurred in New Orleans during the Katrina event, all happened early in the morning of August 29, the same day that Katrina made landfall, and not August 30, the day after Katrina made landfall.
     
  • Magmas do not come from the liquid outer core of the earth.
     
  • 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 (not the fifth letter) when Hurricane Camille came ashore back in 1969.
     
  • Each increase in 1 in earthquake magnitude represents a 30 fold increase in energy released, not a 10 fold increase as many of you still think. 
     
  • 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).
     
  • 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.
     
  • Although large earthquakes in China and floods in Bangladesh usually result in a large number of casualties, an impact with a large space object (> 1 km) would result in many more casualties and is thus the worst possible disaster we discussed in the course.

Have a Great Holiday Season!
