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.

  Magnetism is the force generated by any moving charged particle or charged particles. A magnetic field is the result of the motion of a charged particle or charged particles, and this field is generated in no other way. Any time a charged particle moves, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel.
Sad, but true. This is why sulfation is the #1 killer of lead acid batteries and why battery desulfators are sorely needed. Back in the day, before the invention of AGM batteries, charger manufacturers would increase the voltage of the battery to try and break down the hardened crystals.
