1.0 Tectonic Setting of South China Hong Kong, which is located near the southeastern margin of the Eurasian Continental Plate (ECP), called the Cathaysia Block, in Southeast China, rests on a stable intraplate region of the ECP some 700 km from its nearest plate boundary, an area that underlies Taiwan and trends southward to the Philippines and northeastward to Japan (Pappin, Koo, Free, & Tsang, 2008). Although stable, this continental intraplate region has been associated with earthquakes in the past as it straddles the northeast-trending Lianhuashan Fault Zone. There are two major fault zones, which trends in the regional northeast ...

Improved scientific understanding in recent years has shown that humans are the major causes of climate change on the planet. A report released by IPCC (the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) in 2014 reports that it is “extremely likely” that the dominant cause of global warming in the 20th Century is the influence of humans. Human activities over the last two hundred years, since the beginning of industrialization, have caused a building up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and as a result, the Greenhouse Effect (a natural phenomenon which regulates the temperature of the earth) has increased ...

The literature industry is one of the biggest and most profitable ones. Aside from the fact that a lot of people are raking in stashes of cash working in this industry, there exists this idea that suggests that novels exist as a symbolic representation of man’s ideas, wants, vision, and even fears. In this paper, the author presents an argument about how a particular work of literature, that is the Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, presents as a reflection of contemporary society, its hopes, fears, realizations, or anything that might represent humans’ existence. In an academic journal published ...

Scientists, the world over, have a common belief that over 90% of earth’s species have become extinct over the last three billion years that the planet has supported life . It is estimated that there have been at least five mass extinctions spread over millions of years at a time. The latest known mass extinction was towards the end of the Cretaceous period. It is most likely so well known because, the event which occurred over 65 million years ago, caused the end of the dinosaurs. Although in terms of the scale it was smaller than the previous four, ...

There are a number of ways by which the media forms communicate with their audience and tend to convey the underlying themes and ideas using them. Specifically, in the case of films, the use of visual content, sound, construction of a shot and it’s editing, performance, recording, etc. It is obvious that an effective use of visuals aided by supporting multimedia always results in a deeper impact on the audience as the visual has a deeper response generation from the brain. This concept, when strategically used in the making of films results in tremendous changes in terms of ...

Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction is one of the greatest mass extinction in the history. According to statistics, over one hundred families became extinct. This was associated with the movement and fragmentation of the supercontinent. Secondly was as a result of ocean cooling beyond levels the organisms could survive. While the organisms had initially adapted to the warm tropical conditions, the sudden transition to the cold climate was unbearable for most organisms (“Ordovician”,n.d.).. The late Devonian mass extinction is thought to have been warm and dry period. It was characterized by Devonian fish that was the main components of ...
