An important part of this process is communicating with fellow learners and learning from what they have to say. As such, this is the forum where we can learn a little bit about who we are and what we do. Your first assignment in this course is to write a short biography about yourself. This is a time to say our virtual hellos and to get to know each other.This week's introduction forum will focus on the following objectives:Part 1:Build peer-to-peer relationships by introducing ourselves and sharing our backgrounds with one another.Articulate your learning goals and expectations for this class.Part 2:Choose the topic for your course project.Familiarize yourself with PowerPoint with Audio Narration, which you will be using for your final presentation.Upload a “mini-presentation” introducing the molecule of your choice and explaining why you chose this topic for the course project.NOTE: Your forum entry must contain both parts to be considered complete.Part 1: INTRODUCE YOURSELFTo make your posts, click on START A NEW CONVERSATION aboveState your name and Introduction in the title (Title: Jane Doe - Introduction - Molecule/Substance Choice).In Paragraph 1, include the following information:Introduction*Name*A picture (does not have to be a picture of yourself - click for link)*Your major and year in school*Your branch of service and rank (if military)*Your job title and a brief description of your job*Where you live*Your interests and hobbiesIn Paragraph 2, include the following information:Chemistry Background*Why you are taking this class*What you hope to learn from this class*Your experience with chemistry*Your future goals*Anything else you would like us to know about yourself*Is there anything specific you would like to learn about in this class?In Paragraph 3, include the following information:Plan if Computer "crashes" or is unusable*How you will access/print course materials*Communicate with the instructor and classmates*Meet the required due dates for assignmentsPART 2: UPLOAD A BRIEF PRESENTATION INTRODUCING YOUR COURSE PROJECT TOPIC (submitted as an attachment)The topic of the course project will be any molecule/substance found in the Chemistry World Podcasts: https://www.chemistryworld.com/podcasts. The molecule/substance will preferably be one that you have personal familiarity with.You must select a different molecule/substance than your classmates – so include the name of your molecule/substance in the title of your post.Familiarize yourself with the Course Project Guide.Create a narrated PowerPoint presentation (or other multimedia program as approved by your instructor) (2-3 slides) and upload it as a file attachment to your forum post. For instructions on how to create audio narration in PowerPoint, see the following link: Record a Slide Show With Narration.Your mini-presentation should include the following:Your name, date, class name, and my nameCommon name of the molecule/substance and the IUPAC name of the molecule/substance. For help writing an IUPAC name, check out the online version of The Blue Book: https://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/The reason you chose this molecule/substance.One additional resource where this you found this molecule/substance in popular literature.Resources1. Chemistry World Podcasts: https://www.chemistryworld.com/podcasts 2. Iupac Nomenclature Of Organic Chemistry: https://www.acdlabs.com/iupac/nomenclature/One of the drawbacks to online learning is that you miss out on the interactions from your classmates. Therefore, please take this opportunity to interact with at least two of your classmates by responding to their entries. Feel free to ask questions about each other and your course projects as you will be spending the next eight weeks together sharing the experiences of this course. On that note, classroom community is a huge part of the learning experience so in addition to your initial posts and reply posts, be sure to follow your classmates' posts for the remainder of the week, addressing any follow-up posts to your posts, and reply to any questions or requests for clarification. Similarly, be sure to read the follow-up posts to your own original posts and reply to any questions or requests for clarification from your classmates. The forums are a great way to build a classroom community, learn from one another, and connect with your peers, so be sure to check the forums regularly in order to keep the dialogue moving!To respond to your classmates' posts:Click on the post you would like to reply to.Click the "Reply" button to the right.Type your message in the "Message" box, perform a spelling/grammar check, scroll down and hit the "Post Message" button.Before you get started, you may want to refer back to the Syllabus for details on how this Forums discussion assignment will be graded.To learn more about me, please see my personal introduction inside the Introductory Forum.I am looking forward to working and learning with all of you throughout the next eight weeks!Original posts should be a minimum of 250 words and reply posts 100-200 words.

Be asspecific as possible in describing the geographic regions/city centers where the fault systemruns through. Also include the geographic points where it starts and stops.b) What are the dimensions of the fault system? How long (in kilometers) from its north end to itssouth end? How wide (in kilometers) from the west side to the east side across southernCalifornia? How deep does the SAF fault extend down into the crust?c) What is the most common type of fault found in the San Andreas Fault system in California?What specific type of fault is the San Andreas fault? Include its relative offset motion direction d) What specific type of plate tectonic boundary does the SAFS represent? (Include the followingin you answer: 1) tectonic boundary type; 2) the names of the two tectonic plates that areinvolved; and 3) indicate the specific lateral movement direction relative to each other)e) How long ago did the SAFS first develop (in millions of years)? Also note where in California did it first show up. Lastly, what geologic events lead to the initiation of the SAF in the first place?f) What type of plate tectonic boundary occurred prior to the development of the present-daySAFS (Include the tectonic boundary type and the names of the two plates involved andtheir movement relative to each other)?g) What are the names of the five most major active faults found within the SouthernCalifornia_segment of the SAFS? Note that you need to list the names of at least five active Southern California faults found between the Salton Sea and Catalina Island.h ) What is the name for the closest active SAFS fault here in the San Diego area? (Hint: it runs right through downtown San Diego, and it has the word "Canyon" in it!). How large of an earthquake is this fault currently believed to be able to generate?I) What is the most active fault today in the southern segment (Southern California) of the SAFS (most active over the last several decades)? Which fault in Southern California is considered the most dangerous today and why?Part 2 – History of San Andreas Fault (5 points).a ) What is the total transform offset movement (in kilometers) along the San Andreas Fault,based on the roughly 20 million year life-history of the fault? This question is asking you howfar has the two adjoining plates moves laterally past each other in the last 20 million years. b) How do geologists determine the total amount of transform offset along the SAF? Thisquestion asks you how geologists go about finding clues (offset markers) to how much total lateral movement has occurred between the adjoining plates over the fault's 20 plus million history.c) What is the average annual slip rate measured along the San Andreas Fault proper? (Note that there may be slight variations in average slip rate for each of the three segments: northern, middle and southern).d) How do geologists determine the average annual slip rate along the SAF? Hint: It’s not by using a seismometer. Think about both collected real time data and historic datae) Great quakes or “Big Ones” have a Richter magnitudes of 7.8 or greater. When and where did the last two "Big Ones" (7.8M or larger earthquakes) occur along the San Andreas Fault? (List the location, year, and magnitude of each of the two great quakes).f) What is the average frequency, or recurrence rate, for a "Big One" quake along the San Andreas Fault? In others words, how often (how many years apart) do we get a "Big One" on the SAF? Again, this is only for quakes 7.8M or larger.g) Finally, what is the average rupture offset (in meters) for a "Big One" quake along the San Andreas Fault? In other words, how much lateral wrenching movement occurs between the two adjoining plates when the fault zone breaks with sudden lateral offset during the quake.h ) What types of methods and tools are used by seismologists to monitor fault activity and fault displacement along the San Andreas Fault and its associated faults? In other words, how do seismologists measure and record fault stresses, and local movement on active faults? Briefly describe each method, including the specific types of scientific tools and equipment used. Note: You need to list and describe at least two different methods/tools for full credit.Part 3 – Quake Prediction and Hazards (5 points).a ) Can geologists accurately predict earthquakes in the SAFS, or anywhere else in theworld? For example, a seismologist at Cal Tech predicts that the southern segment of the San Andrea fault will rupture 10 miles NW of the town of Palm Springs on July 4th of 2020 with a magnitude of 7.9M. Is this currently possible or not? Why, or why not? Briefly explain why, or why not.b) Can geologists determine the statistical probability of when (how often and the odds of one occurring at any given time) a major earthquake will take place along a specific fault in theSAFS? For example, a seismologist at Cal Tech states that the probability that the southern segment of the San Andrea fault will rupture somewhere between Palmdale and Palm Springs with a magnitude of 7.9M in the year 2016 is roughly 1 in 500, and that that particular segment of the fault ruptures on average every 400 years or so. Why or why not? Briefly explain why or why not.c) Accurately define an “earthquake hazard". What are the specific types of seismic hazards associated with large earthquake events within the SAFS and the sorts of damage that it causes? Be thorough (you should have listed and described at least four types of earthquake hazards associated with a quake event.d) Which type of seismic hazard do you think are the most dangerous for the San Andreas fault system and why? What is the likelihood that a large SAF earthquake causes the formation of a tsunami (like in the movie “San Andres” with the Rock? Explain your answer as whether it’s likely or unlikely.e) List and discuss some the ways that governments, engineers and emergency agencies address those hazards, in terms of infrastructure (buildings, bridges, dams, power lines, roads, gas lines, etc) integrity, action protocols for dealing with these hazards: before, during, and after a big quake - everything they do to minimize negative effects? Try to be thorough.f) What are some of the most important things that you should do (or not do) DURING and AFTER a large earthquake - at home, at the office, and/or while driving?g) How currently prepared are you for a big earthquake? List and describe the various ways that you and your family can be best prepared for the coming "Big One" - at home, at the office, and/or while driving.h) How much has this research project increased your knowledge and understanding of the San Andreas Fault system? If you live in coastal California, did this research change your feelings about living here, in terms of comfort level and sense of personal security? In other words, are you any more or less frightened or concerned about being caught in a large earthquake someday?
