I am expecting a paragraph-length post for these short answer questions. Generally the question will require you to answer a question and back it up with some kind of explanation.
Question: The San Francisco Bay Area has not had a large (>6.0 magnitude) earthquake in 30 years. While another large quake is inevitable it is impossible to say when the next one will hit. There was a 68-year quiet period from 1911-1979 for example. Why do you think earthquakes are so hard to predict and what is an example of another process (human or natural) that is similarly difficult to predict and why?
Earthquake happens when lithospheric plate moves due to the drag forces exerted by the semi solid asthenosphere. When these plates moves then seismic waves are produced which are responsible for earthquake and since plates moves continuous therefore we can have very frequent earthquakes but all these earthquakes are of very less magnitude and for a larger magnitude earthquake high magnitude of stress is required and this much stress requires large time interval and if during this period small magnitude earthquakes happens then this will increase the time interval as energy is lost during small magnitude earthquake and this all depends on the type of formations and stress regimes and therefore it becomes almost impossible to predict earthquakes. Apart from this events of volcanic eruptions are also very difficult to predict and this happens due to the same reason.

I am expecting a paragraph-length post for these short answer questions. Generally the question will require you to answer a question and back it up with some kind of explanation. Question: Given that metamorphic rocks are typically more dense and resistant to physical weathering than other rock types they would seem to be ideal as a building material. However, metamorphic rocks are not commonly used for building material. What might be some of the drawbacks or limits of metamorphic rocks...
Risk management in Information Security today Everyday information security professionals are bombarded with marketing messages around risk and threat management, fostering an environment in which objectives seem clear: manage risk, manage threat, stop attacks, identify attackers. These objectives aren't wrong, but they are fundamentally misleading.In this session we'll examine the state of the information security industry in order to understand how the current climate fails to address the true needs of the business. We'll use those lessons as a foundation...
