This is a PowerPoint Presentation by my second class at the Cape Fear Center for Inquiry in Wilmington, North Carolina. . This presentation reflects an inquiry continuum within the thematic unit of geography. The students began by recalling what they already knew about the seven continents and then asked questions to shape their research. Students also discussed what research sources would most helpful to answer their questions. After two sessions of small group work in the computer lab, students created PowerPoint slides to synthesize their findings. This was a challenging but age-appropriate project because students had to also work cooperatively in collaborative groups, use technology responsibly and implement design ideas to support their final product

GEOPHYSICS
Introduction
Geophysics is the branch of science that is concerned with the physical, chemical, geological, astronomical -and other characteristic properties of the earth.
It deals with geological phenomena such as the temperature distribution of the earth's interior, the source, configuration and the geomagnetic field.
Interior structure of the earth
The structure of the earth is composed of three major zones arranged in a concentric manner. These are crust, mantle and core;
A report about earthquakes. Inside this powerpoint are: the meaning of earthquakes, types of plate movement, and how does an earthquake occur. Have Fun!
Contents:
1. Concept of Earthquake
2. Hazards Associated to Earthquake
- Ground Shaking
- Ground Rapture
- Tsunami
- Earthquake induced landslide
3. What do to BEFORE, DURING, AFTER Earthquake
An earthquake is a violent and abrupt shaking of the ground, caused by movement between tectonic plates along a fault line in the earth's crust. Earthquakes can result in the ground shaking, soil liquefaction, landslides, fissures, avalanches, fires and tsunamis.
How do you describe an earthquake?
A large earthquake far away will feel like a gentle bump followed several seconds later by stronger rolling shaking that may feel like sharp shaking for a little while. A small earthquake nearby will feel like a small sharp jolt followed by a few stronger sharp shakes that pass quickly.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

2. Your news items: ripped from the headlines
Thanks
Shedavia!
VERY large planet
VERY strange configuration
3. Tectonics is the study of large-scale movement and deformation of the earth’s
outer layers
A small number of rigid pieces = plates form ocean basins & continents
These move on top of flowing earth materials beneath
Plate tectonics studies the interaction of crust plates over a weak or partly
molten layer in the earth’s upper mantle
4. Magnetic stripes occur in ocean plates
As new crust is formed, magnetic field
occasionally reverses and changes cooling
rocks
These stripes are great
evidence for new crust
formation pushing
ocean crust out from
the center – thus called
“divergent” boundaries
5. Different boundaries
show up on the
earth‟s surface
Midocean ridges:
Divergent plates
Coastal mountains:
Convergent plates
In between:
Transform
boundaries
6. Plate Boundaries
Divergent Plate Boundary
Lithospheric plates move apart;
form oceanic ridges
Rising magma forms oceanic
ridges and new oceanic crust
Forces plates apart
Convergent Plate Boundary
Lithospheric plates move
together
Heavy plate subducts
Mountains, quakes, volcanoes
Transform Boundaries – short segments of a ridge
Transform faults offset ridge, move „sideways‟

10. Faults are planes where rocks can
slip past each other
Three different types are based on
three different motions
Friction between rocks against
slipping generates elastic
deformation and builds up energy
before failure
When the stress exceeds the
friction (or rupture strength of the
rock), a sudden movement occurs
to release the stress
Normal fault
11.
Energy releases from a dynamic earth occur
along faults
Earth’s crust moves very slowly
over time enough stress builds up and a brittle
release occurs – an earthquake
Stress is suddenly released and transferred
Actual site of the first
movement along a fault is the
focus (or hypocenter)
Actual point on the earth’s
surface directly above the
focus is the epicenter
12.
13.
Energy is released during an earthquake
As the waves of energy are transmitted through the rock, this
energy with be felt by people at the surface
Magnitude – the amount of ground motion related to an
earthquake
Intensity – effect on humans, and their structures, caused by the
energy released by an earthquake
14.
Measured by a seismograph
Richter magnitude scale most common
Richter scale is logarithmic
• An earthquake of magnitude 4 causes 10 times more ground
movement as one of magnitude 3
• The energy released by an earthquake of magnitude 4 releases
about 30 times more energy than an earthquake of magnitude 3
15.
Shaking is the most obvious and violent effect, but is highly variable and
depends on initial conditions at location
Large magnitudes may have small or large human impact
Tsunamis are seismic sea waves. When an undersea or near-shore
earthquake occurs, sudden movement of the sea floor may set up
waves traveling away from that spot, hitting shore with devastating effect
Fire is caused by broken gas lines and infrastructure
Power outages, water disruption are major impacts
Famine and disease have been major historical impacts
16. Magnitude 7.7 , 15 km deep
Strike slip fault
~300,000 people involved
17. Like much of geology, prediction is
difficult on human scales
Models generate probabilities but
not predictions
Current focus looks at indicators
like „seismic gaps‟
Active hazard areas can go
sometime soon – like in the next
100, 1000 or 10,000 years!
18.
Predicting ground shaking and movement along the fault – the
obvious hazards
Considering both structures and bedrocks
Designing “earthquake-resistant” buildings
Knowing the characteristics of the earthquakes in a particular
region
The best building codes are typically applied only to new
construction
Liquefaction and Landslides can be a serious secondary
earthquake hazard in hilly areas
20. Associated with
divergent or
convergent plate
boundaries

22. Magma composition mafic felsic affects
the lava properties
Silica is very stiff, tends to stick and then
explode
Continental environments tend to have water
and volatiles melted along with magma
Explosive versus calm eruptions
23.
Lava, not the principal hazard! Actually not life-threatening generally
Airborne/pyroclastic flows, way more dangerous than lava flows
Ash falls from eruptions can be much more devastating than lava
Gas, steam and poisons can also spew from volcanoes
Lahars, a volcanic ash and water mudflow
Pulaweh,
Indonesia
24. Ash cloud goes up and up into
stratosphere
Can circle for years or decades, blocking
sunlight
With enough blockage, global
temperature can be altered with huge
economic effects
25. Very large eruptions have happened geologically recently
Results:
Global „volcanic winter‟ ~10 years
Enhanced cooling ~1000 years
Effect on humans… dramatic

Far from plate boundaries or magma
plumes
We are “near” one major risk:
Yellowstone, site of major potential
supervolcano
BBC: 12/10/13
Large Yellowstone magma
chamber may be 3 times
larger
than
estimated
before, so these maps
may underestimate effect
US Geologic Survey: “Thick ash deposits would bury vast areas of the United
States… injection of huge volumes of volcanic gases into the atmosphere
could drastically affect global climate.
Fortunately, the Yellowstone volcanic system shows no signs that it is headed
toward such an eruption in the near future”
