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.
Heating a material above its Curie temperature will destroy its permanent magnetic properties, yes. The magnetic dipole moment of a metal is what makes it magnetic. Above a material's Curie temp, those moments get scrambled and they don't align in the same way once it is cooled.
