Digital camcorders and software programs can generate THM files, which are, essentially, thumbnail images of other media files. Typically, a THM file contains the first frame of the video file whose thumbnail it represents. The names of THM files are similar to the names of the underlying media files. THM files are based on the JPEG format and can be opened by the same programs that open JPEG files.
The most recent major earthquake occured near Haiti. Earthquakes occur most often in seismically active regions, most often the South Pacific around the so called Pacific Rinâ¦g of Fire, and any region where continental plates interact.
How can earthquakes happen in places like Australia that are far from the edges of tectonic plates? Why are some parts of the world more active than others? Earlier this year, a 5.7 earthquake hit the north of South Australia, far from the edges of the Indo-Australian plate on which Australia sits. While most earthquakes occur along tectonic plate boundaries, a small number occur along faults in the normally stable interior of plates. These quakes are known as intraplate earthquakes. The SA quake reactivated a well-known fault system in the Musgrave Ranges of northern South Australia, says petrologist Professor Bill Collins from the University of Newcastle.
