The Big One will be a great earthquake. An earthquake is the shaking of the ground cause by seismic waves. Almost all earthquakes occur when pent up stress in rocks along large, active faults (like the SAF) is suddenly released as the rock breaks.he Big One will be a great earthquake.

Iron is a magnetic substance, which means it is attracted by a magnet. On the other hand, Sulfur is a non-magnetic substance. If you place a magnet near a mixture of Iron and â¦ Sulfur, the iron pieces will stick to the magnet, while the sulfur powder will remain.
â Magnetite exhibits magnetism.â Sulfur smells like rotten eggs (after scratching the surface).â Calcite fizzes when HCl acid is applied to it.â Halite(rock salt) tastes salty.â Some minerals are exceptionally dense because they are composed of heavy elements, or contain closely-packed atoms.
