Earthquakes
Some 80 percent of all the planet's earthquakes occur along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, called the "Ring of Fire" because of the preponderance of volcanic activity there. Most earthquakes occur at fault zones, where tectonic plates – giant rock slabs that make up the Earth's upper layer – collide or slide against each other. These impacts are usually gradual and unnoticeable on the surface; however, immense stress can build up between plates. When this stress is released quickly, it sends massive vibrations, called seismic waves, often hundreds of miles through the rock and up to the surface.

Feline Intelligence

Dog and cat lovers seem to relish unending debates over which animal is "smarter." Dog owners often cap their arguments with the fact that dogs have the ability to perform tricks, while cat people counter with the claim that their pets are too intelligent to perform on command. In truth, such methods of pet comparison are useless animal-world versions of mixing apples and oranges. Dogs are motivated by a strong need to follow and please their masters in order to receive praise. The solitary cat answers to no one; nevertheless, if trainability may not be the feline's forte, cleverness and adaptability certainly are.

Tyrannosaurus rex

Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the largest meat- eating dinosaurs that ever lived. Fossil evidence shows that T. rex was about 12 meters long and about 4.6 to 6 meters tall. Its robust thighs and long, powerful tail helped it move quickly.

T. rex's serrated, conical teeth were used to pierce and grip flesh, which it then ripped away with its strong neck muscles. Its two-fingered forearms could probably seize prey, but they were too short to reach its mouth.
