| I am presently half-way through a PhD in Earth Sciences (focusing on igneous petrology/geochemistry). A PhD offers an opportunity to become a world expert in a particular topic through the completion of a dissertation and related work. One of my challenges in completing this degree is that I have ex... |

| I'm wondering if they couldn't stop it or alter its course by spraying it with a fire hose. Even with enormous quantities of water, wouldn't it just cool a thin outside layer and leave the remaining lava still flowing? Halting lava flow advance by spraying water on it has been done with success, so... |

| Hey all! I am presently a geology PhD candidate so I can offer some context. On a worldwide basis, earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 - 6.9 occur approximately 134 times annua lly according to the U.S. Geological Survey, so these much more common than the magnitude 7 or 8 earthquakes. Indeed the earthquak... |

| To me, saying someone is "On the hook" for "x" means that person is responsible for whatever "x" is. Usually, though not always, this is said in the context of payment. For example: 'John is on the hook for tonight's dinner' means 'John is responsible for paying for tonight's dinner' Consider the co... |

I am a committed asexual, though I am not entirely sure what romance label I fit into closely. I am probably romantic but not sure which. I guess that will come with time.
In the meantime, I'm going to have some cake.

| It also depends on the type of ground cover.Going up a grassy or compact dirt slope is easier than unconsolidated, loose sand/ash/scree. With the former, you loose some progress with each step as you sink in and go downhill a few centimetres. (2 steps up, 1 step back). Not so with grassy or compact ... |

| In a real sense, Canada is the future of the U.S. My fear is, if those parts of Canada represent the U.S.'s past, that maybe the U.S. represents Canada's future. I certainly hope not. There are reasons Canada consistently beats the U.S. in international quality-of-life polls. Case in point, the sta... |
