A Horsepower Motor performs the work of two men continuously, more-efficiently, and lessexpensively.

. (And with much less complaining!) Motors have a number of advantages when compared to engines: Advantages

Low Initial Cost - The initial cost of an electric motor is considerably lower than a fossil-fuel engine with the same Output Horsepower Rating (in nearly every case). Long Life - Because electric motors contain relatively few moving parts, they have extensive operational life spans. For instance, an appropriately selected and maintained electric motor offers up to 30,000 hours of operating life without major repairs. (This is the approximate equivalent of 3 years of perpetual usage.) Low Maintenance Requirements - Electric motors are durable and have extensive operating life and minimal service requirements. High Efficiency - Electric motors are highly-efficient with ratings that range from 50% to 95% (depending on the motor's size and operating conditions). Automated Control - Automated controls are easily installed to operate electric motors, providing the versatility of automatic and remote Start/Stop functions. No Fossil Fuels - They require NO fuel, engine oil maintenance, battery service, and do NOT freeze in sub-zero temperatures. Labor Cost Savings - Electric motors reduce requirements for labor due to lower maintenance and easier control which ultimately makes production more profitable by reducing costs). Occupational Safety - Motors contribute to the safety of the work environment, emitting little noise, NO exhaust, and without flammable fuels.

There are some disadvantages that accompany the use of electric motors. Disadvantages

Portability - Many larger electric motors are NOT easily portable, and even if a motor is small enough to be portable, consideration must be made for the correct electrical supply and voltage at the new site. Demand Charges - Using high-horsepower motors in applications where they are run infrequently (Low Load Factor) can result in costly electrical demand charges which results in a high cost per hour of operation. Remote Locations - Expensive line extensions are sometimes needed for installation in remote locales where existing electrical power is NOT available. Speed Control - Speed-controlled motors are rather costly and require intricate special equipment that often complicates installation.

Modified True or False: Breaks 1. Focus is the place within the Earth where the rocks forms, producing earthquake.

Focus _ 2. The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the grounds surface directly above the fault. True 3. Vibration of the ground causes damage structures.

Under the ocean 4. Tsunami is the earthquake in the city. Flow_ 5. Thixotropic sediment causes ground to quake.

Unpredictable 6. Earthquake is predictable. Stress Strain True 7. Strain is a force or directed pressure acting on a rock. 8. Stress is the result of deformation. 9. Waves travel at 500-950 km/hr.

New Madrid 10. Three large eathquakes, the largest in U.S. history occurred near Charleston, Missouri. Plates__ 11. The outer shell of the earth is composed of a number of almost rigid waves that slowly moves against each other. 7.1 12. In 1989, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake was felt in San Francisco, California (Loma Prieta).

Seismograph 13. A thermograph is a device for measuring the movement of the earth, and consists of a ground motion detection sensor coupled with a recording system . Inertia 14. Seismographs operate on the principle of permissibility.

Stationary 15. Tension keeps the suspended mass stationary while the ground moves below it. Not tall 16. Earthquakes cause fast, high energy, tall waves in deep sea. True 17. Earthquakes are not distinguishable in open sea.

Slow Down 18. When earthquakes enter shallow water, they move fast, and the water stacks up. Rupture 19. Tsunami is the breakage and fracturing of the rock, causing an earthquake. Seismic waves 20. Energy moving outward from the focus of an earthquake travels in the form of tidal waves. Tension 21. The shear stress is a force, pulls on earths crust causing rock to stretch in the middle (causes a normal fault).

Compression 22.The force that squeezes rock until it folds or breaks is a tension stress (creates reverse faults) Plastic deformation 23. It is an elastic deformation when a stress are removed and rock stays bent True True 24. Brittle Materials break during elastic deformation. 25. Powerful earthquakes may also initiate volcanoes to erupt, in the vicinity or further afield, although this is not always the case, as it depends on the state of the magma chamber at the time
