Radiometric dating is a scientific method geologist utilize to estimate the age of rocks. Rocks contain tiny amounts of radioactive materials. Over time the radioactive material breaks down into more stable substances in a process called radioactive decay.  This process happens at a constant rate depending on the type of...

The occurrence of earthquakes from the map plotted is in specific regions especially at the edges of plates. Earthquakes occur in this places because of the constant movement of plates. Earthquakes from the map plotted to follow a detectable arrangement which is on the edges of plates where they collide as...

The Construction Challenges The construction of concrete buildings in areas with structural challenges is difficult.
