This document provides a summary of key concepts about earthquakes, volcanoes, and plate tectonics in 3 sections and includes review questions at the end of each section. The sections discuss how earthquakes and volcanoes form due to the movement and interaction of tectonic plates. Most volcanoes occur at plate boundaries, and earthquakes are commonly caused by the buildup and release of stress along boundaries. Plate tectonics provides the driving force that results in earthquakes and volcanic activity.
This presentation includes introduction to Earthquakes, Seismic Waves, Shallow Focus and Deep Focus Earthquakes, Aftershocks, Earthquake Storms, Effects/Impacts of Earthquakes, Earthquake Predictions.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

29. Section Check 1 Question 1 Which of the following is NOT a type of stress in rock? A. compression B. epicenter C. shearing D. tension NC: 3.01
30. 1 Section Check Answer The answer is B. The epicenter is the point on Earth’s surface located directly above the earthquake’s center. NC: 3.01
31. Section Check 1 Question 2 Where do P- and S-waves occur in relation to surface waves? NC: 3.01
32. 1 Section Check Answer Seismic waves travel away from the epicenter in all directions. P-waves travel the fastest through rock material. S-waves move through the rock and cause particles to vibrate. Both P- and S-waves travel through the Earth’s interior while surface waves move along Earth’s surface. NC: 3.01
33. Section Check 1 Question 3 Why is it difficult to predict earthquakes? NC: 3.02
34. 1 Section Check Answer Geologists can monitor changes in Earth that are associated with earthquakes. Measuring devices have been developed to assess changes in groundwater level and rock layers; however, no single change in Earth occurs for all earthquakes. NC: 3.02

53. Section Check 2 Question 1 Where do most volcanoes occur? Most volcanoes occur at plate boundaries where huge pieces of the crust pull apart or push together. As a result, the crust often fractures, allowing magma to reach the surface. Answer NC: 3.01
54. Section Check 2 Question 2 What type of volcano is formed by an explosive eruption followed by a quiet eruption? A. cinder cone volcano B. composite volcano C. fissure eruption D. shield volcano NC: 3.02
55. Section Check 2 Answer The correct answer is B. Composite volcanoes erupt explosively releasing large quantities of gas and ash. They are followed by quieter eruptions that form a lava layer over the ash. NC: 3.02
56. Section Check 2 Question 3 What is a pyroclastic flow and why are they so dangerous to people who may live near volcanoes? NC: 3.01
57. Section Check 2 Answer Pyroclastic flows consist of hot, glowing rock that flows with intensely hot gases. The speed of a pyroclastic flow can reach 200 km/h, which does not allow time for someone living nearby to escape. NC: 3.01
