The TectonicPlate Under the Indian Ocean is Breaking - Experts Fear Large Earthquakes

The Indo Board or the Indian plate plates the earthquake rupture April 2012 Video explaining about tectonic plates Video tsunami that shocked the world this plate extends from the border of the India with Nepal and China, the Indian subcontinent, Melanesia, Australia and New Zealand.

The plate consists of two parts joined makes 43 million years ago, the Indian plate and the Australian.Seismologists suspect that this plate is fragmenting since 1980, this would be the cause of the earthquake and tsunami of 2004 in Sumatra and also two earthquake of 8 Richter scale from April 2012.

These studies stated that the plate subducts is could be moving northward at a speed of 5.6 cm a year, on the other hand the other party the India would move somewhat slower about 3.7 cm per year due to the impediment of the Himalayan mountains.

The plate was fragmenting is not something new seismologists knew that it is a process slow but gradual. After this break-up of the plate would be the brutal earthquake of 9.2 degrees in centered in Banda Aceh in December 2004 and then the tsunami that caused hundreds of thousands of victims. Matthias Delescluse researcher of you École Normale Supérieure of Paris author of the articles on the topic published in Nature, said EfE:

Seismic activity between Australia and the India was already important before the earthquake of April 2012, but has increased since the 2004 earthquake. We now realize that the deformation of the plate between both countries may result in monstrous earthquakes of a magnitude never recorded before.

Experts are still studying where can be the area of union of these plates. The most likely hypothesis is arising to the southwest of the India or to the West of Sumatra.

Keith Koper, seismologist says that they had never before seen an earthquake of such magnitude. That seemed part of a disorderly breakup of plates. In just 160 seconds tremor caused 4 cracks in the plate, and I felt in the India and in Australia.

This earthquake originated in 2004 in contrast not brought with it a tsunami, since were caused by horizontal movements of oblique faults, producing sea inside away from the coast there were just victims.The majority of large earthquakes occur when two tectonic plates collide each other. However when fractures of plates slide horizontally along the fault usually scrapyard earthquakes of lesser intensity.

Earthquake of April 11, 2012 challenge the above, I know never before had recorded an earthquake of such intensity because not the clash of plates but horizontal parts of the plate displacements.

Architects convert ruins of a mill into a large family dwelling

Fine construction is not always about grandiose designs built from scratch. Sometimes it depends solely on the enterprising attitude of architects and their will to convert existing structures into elegant works of architecture.

Going along such novel design considerations, Scottish studio Rural Design has conceived the Bogbain Mill project in Dingwall. This fascinating endeavor involved the complete 'regeneration' of a dilapidated mill into a contemporary styled large family dwelling with 4,036 square foot of usable space.

According to the architects, their design planning started with the utilization of the free standing walls that remained on the site. In fact, the enclosure of many such walls already formed spatially defined zones that can be categorized as courtyards.

Taking advantage of such existing zonal patterns, the designers decided to revitalize the building into a modernistic house. The old walls were used in combination with newer structures like glass facades to accentuate upon the fusion of antediluvian and futuristic essence. Some examples of this spatial definition include the Garden Room, Gym and Garage building. The building was also extended vertically, with the upper story draped in specially constructed folded larch roofing and pre existing walls.

Finally, the intriguing design is not just limited to the structural scope. The aforementioned semi courtyards were also used for forming stepped garden patterns around the dwelling. Given the client's interest in gardening, the eastern side courtyard terraces were complimented with insitu-concrete walls, whereas the connected western side courtyard was designed for drawing in natural light. This technique sort of creates an expansive play of light and landscape, which is further enhanced by a lone tree that has been conscientiously preserved.

Solar Fotovoltaico Park in Italy

Perhaps over thousands of years since a large dimension of Rovigo, Italy, land becomes something much more useful than function fulfilled, especially if we consider not only new functionality will be used for its former owner, but to facilitate the daily activities of a community.

This large expanse of land has given rise to what today we see as the World's largest Solar Fotovoltaico Park made entirely by signing SunEdison, who had obtained the permission of the Italian Government initiative some nine months earlier.

This installation, functioning at 100%, may provide some 70 megawatts of electricity, but what is surprising is not that can deliver, but how was carried out as quickly: was carried out in conjunction with Isolux Corsan investments together with the company previously mentioned, with the organization City and Local Environmental Accounting Reporting (CLEAR) who provided plans necessary for its function feasibility and livelihood support.

If this plant is put into operation its efficiency allows a reduction of up to 40,000 tons of carbon dioxide, which would be practically equivalent to more than 8,000 cars passing on a daily basis by the Italian road.
