Avalanchas de rocas prehistóricas en las montañas olímpicas, Washington
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|December 4, 1992
Resumen
Las avalanchas de roca en las montañas olímpicas sugieren que un gran terremoto prehistórico ocurrió en la región de Puget Sound. La datación indica que varias avalanchas ocurrieron hace 1000-1300 años, posiblemente coincidiendo con los cambios tectónicos.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Geología Geología Geología.
- La paleosismología es la paleosismología.
- Ciencia Cuaternaria La ciencia cuaternaria es la ciencia cuaternaria.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las avalanchas de roca han impactado históricamente en los paisajes de las Montañas Olímpicas.
- Comprender el momento y los desencadenantes de eventos geológicos pasados es crucial para la evaluación de los peligros.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar el momento de las avalanchas de roca en las montañas olímpicas.
- Para explorar posibles correlaciones entre las avalanchas de roca y la actividad tectónica en el oeste de Washington.
- Evaluar el papel de las avalanchas de roca como evidencia de eventos sísmicos prehistóricos.
Principales métodos:
- Datación por radiocarbono de árboles conservados en represas de avalanchas.
- Análisis de datos de anillos de árboles para establecer edades límite para eventos de avalanchas.
- Cartografía geológica e interpretación de los depósitos de avalanchas.
Principales resultados:
- Se identificaron seis avalanchas de roca en las montañas olímpicas.
- La datación por radiocarbono sugiere que tres o cuatro de estas avalanchas ocurrieron hace 1000-1300 años.
- Estas avalanchas pueden haber ocurrido simultáneamente entre sí y con la deformación tectónica en el oeste de Washington.
Conclusiones:
- El momento de estas avalanchas de roca se alinea con la evidencia de un significativo terremoto prehistórico en la región de Puget Sound.
- La ausencia de recientes tormentas o avalanchas de roca inducidas por terremotos sugiere diferentes mecanismos de activación para eventos pasados.
- Los datos de avalanchas de roca proporcionan valiosos conocimientos sobre la historia sísmica del área de Puget Sound.

01:25Rab Cascades
Rab GTPases act in a regulated cascade during membrane fusion, helping the lipid bilayers mix. The Rab family of proteins are active when bound to GTP, and inactive when bound to GDP. Hence, they act as guanine nucleotide-dependent molecular switches. Rab-GTP recognizes and binds to long or short-range tethering proteins to capture the target vesicle. These tethers coordinate with SNAREs on the vesicle and the target membrane to assemble the trans SNARE complex that locks the mixing bilayers.
01:50Global Climate Change
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.
01:15Quarrying of Stone
Quarrying is the process of extracting stone from a quarry, where specialized techniques are employed to remove large blocks of stone safely and efficiently. This process can involve controlled explosions or more precision-oriented methods such as cutting and drilling.
One common method involves using a diamond belt saw to cut large blocks from the quarry face. These blocks can be about 50 feet long and 12 feet high. After the initial vertical cut, drilling is performed at the base of the block.

01:26Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that the human body needs in small amounts to work properly. They play a vital role in many bodily functions, such as building strong bones and transmitting nerve impulses. Some minerals are needed for hormone production or to maintain a normal heartbeat. Major minerals include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium, while trace minerals include iron, manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride, and selenium.
04:49Robbers Cave
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension could be...
01:12Conservation of Energy: Application
When solving problems using the energy conservation law, the object (system) to be studied should first be identified. Often, in applications of energy conservation, we study more than one body at the same time. Second, identify all forces acting on the object and determine whether each force doing work is conservative. If a non-conservative force (e.g., friction) is doing work, then mechanical energy is not conserved. The system must then be analyzed with non-conservative work. Third, for...
