Since intraplate earthquakes are not near plate boundaries, give a general idea of what you think might cause them. Do the largest earthquakes cause the most deaths and the most damage to property? California is famous for earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault zone but there is another type of plate boundary where large earthquakes occur.
A pulsar is a neutron star that emits beams of radiation that sweep through Earth's line of sight. Like a black hole, it is an endpoint to stellar evolution. The pulses of high-energy radiation we see from a pulsar are due to a misalignment of the neutron star's rotation axis and its magnetic axis.ike a black hole, it is an endpoint to stellar evolution.

To find Polaris, follow the line from the Pointer Stars, Merak and Dubhe, to the first bright star along the same line. That is the North Star. Merak and Dubhe are the stars that mark the end of the bowl of the Big Dipper. They are called the Pointer Stars because they point the way to Polaris and true north.wo of the stars marking the cup of the Big Dipper lead the way to Polaris, the North Star, and another pair of stars, Megrez and Phecda, point the way to Regulus, the brightest star in Leo and also one of the brightest stars in the night sky, and also to Alphard, the brightest star in Hydra constellation.
