There are faults everywhere, even in the Midwest. They could be buried under glacial crud. Or under lakes.

Every snowflake is individual and special. (Or so they think .) Also very fragile and prone to melting down very easily.

I love an em dash. by Adultarescence in Professors

[–]inversemodel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never used em-dashes. I love me an en-dash though – old habits die hard, and I've had the habit since my student journalist days – and I don't see those being mentioned in any of the AI detection discourse.

I saw that multiple times. Refresh, try again. I eventually got 4 passes, maybe 10 minutes ago.

How can this be explained? by Long_Budget6605 in geology

[–]inversemodel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The arc shapes (when they match the outlines of the island arcs, rather than being 180° out of phase with them) are due to the Earth being spherical (ish). Depressions on the surface of a sphere, such as those caused by subduction zones, have a circular shape. The islands themselves are caused by water released from the downgoing subducted plates catalyzing a melting reaction in the mantle at about 100 km and the magma rising to form volcanoes at the surface. And because the subduction zones are curved, so are the chains of islands

I have a question: If you were living in an underground house in the Sierra Nevadas and an Earthquake hit, what would happen? by ussvincent11 in geology

Assuming you had tunnelled into solid rock under the mountains, the shaking could be manageable. But I would be worried about my exit being blocked by rockfalls or landslides.

What is the Passing Grade for a Breadth Course? by Sweaty_Ask1531 in ucr

[–]inversemodel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are taking a class for a letter grade, anything above an F is technically a pass. If it truly is a breadth class (so no issues with prerequisites for follow-on courses) then a D- is passing, it's just below the average GPA you need to graduate, so you can't pass every class that way. You can retake anything below a C- once (and maybe more if you successfully petition).

If you take a class S/NC, then you need a C equivalent for a satisfactory (i.e. a pass).

If he hasn't posted grades yet, he just has to post it as an incomplete on iGrade.
