Kalau akhir tahun biasanya anda mengenang apa yang terjadi setahun yang lalu. Tapi bagi geologist ini mengenang itu untuk yang sertaus tahun yang lalu. Nah apa yang dipikirkan scientis Amerika seratus tahun lalu tentang gempa bumi, sebelum kita tahu ada teori plate tektonik (diambil dari Scientific American (SciAm-Mag)
*JANUARY 1909* WHY EARTHQUAKES?— "In all probability, an earthquake is one of the necessary consequences of the gradual cooling of the earth. As terrestrial heat is gradually declining through its radiation out into space, it follows that the bulk of the earth must be gradually shrinking. Accordingly the crust of the earth has from time to time to accommodate itself to the fact that the whole globe is slowly but surely getting smaller. Even a slight displacement of one extensive surface over another would be accompanied by violence greatly exceeding that which we might expect from so small a displacement, resulting in the wholesale destruction of houses, villages, and even large cities, and infrequently great sacrifice of human life." smile smile Selamat tahun baru kawan-kawan, selamat belajar ilmu baru di tahun 2009 RDP -- Dongeng baru : - http://rovicky.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/prediksi-harga-minyak-perlu-tahu-walaupun-selalu-salah/ - http://rovicky.wordpress.com/2008/12/23/hanya-dengan-pengetahuan-kita-dapat-merubah-palak-menjadi-pajak/ - http://rovicky.wordpress.com/2008/12/21/kreatif-itu-bakat-atau-bisa-dipelajari-creative-mindset/
