Christchurch was badly damaged by a magnitude 6.3 earthquake, which killed 185* people and injured several thousand. The earthquake’s epicentre was near Lyttelton, just 10 km south-east of Christchurch’s central business district. The earthquake occurred nearly six months after the 4 September 2010 earthquake, but is considered to be an aftershock of the earlier quake. The earthquake occurred at lunchtime, when many people were on the city streets. More than 130 fatalities were caused by the collapse of two multi-storey office buildings – the Canterbury Television and Pyne Gould Corporation buildings.

Life's Little Mysteries Staff | August 23, 2011 01:18pm ET Pluto is so far away from Earth that everything we know about it can be written down on a couple of 3 x 5 inch index cards.
Pluto will come into clearer focus in a few years' time, though, as NASA's New Horizons probe is due to make a close flyby of the dwarf planet in July 2015, marking the first time a spacecraft has ever visited the frigid, faraway world. For now, though, here are the five strangest facts about the former ninth planet in our solar system. Earthquake! Junk Problem Is More Threatening Than Ever, Report Warns. There is so much junk in space that collisions could start to increase exponentially, leading to a continuously growing pile of rubble in orbit, a new report warns.
The independent report, released today (Sept. 1), surveyed NASA's work to meet the threat of space debris. It was sponsored by NASA, and conducted by the National Research Council, a nonprofit science policy organization. Seismic waves and how we know Earth's structure. Layers of the Earth. Earth 01.

What are the physical characteristics of the Moon? Where did the Moon come from? Even though you might not think of it as such, the Earth is a planet. Here we're just going to treat it like one. However, the Earth is a very important planet, not because you live there, but because it provides us with a basis for comparison to the other terrestrial planets. What exactly do we know about the Earth? Geologists use the information obtained in earthquakes. First, we'll tackle the P-waves They are a form of pressure waves and are most similar to sound waves in how they travel (by pushing material) Pressure wave and Primary waves are other names for them.
These move in a rather wiggly, transverse motion, sort of what you get if you take a rope and jerk it up and down quickly - a hump will travel down the length of the rope. Figure 1. Figure 2.
