On May 18, 1940, an earthquake of magnitude 7.1 occurred along a previously unrecognized fault in the Imperial Valley. Similar movement on the Imperial fault occurred during an earthquake in November 1979. The greatest surface displacement was 17 feet of right-lateral strike-slip in the 1940 earthquake.Clearly, this fault is part of the San Andreas system.he 1906 earthquake, which has been estimated at a magnitude 8.3 on the Richter Scale, caused intensities as high as XI on the Modified Mercalli Scale. Surface offsets occurred along a 250- mile length of the fault from San Juan Bautista north past Point Arena and offshore to Cape Mendocino.
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.
Description. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in its pure state is inert, nontoxic, odorless, nonflammable and colorless. Ithas excellent arc quenching properties and exhibits exceptional thermal stability. SF6 has exceptionallygood insulating properties and at atmospheric pressure has 2.5 times the dielectric strength of air.ulfur Hexafluoride (SF6) Gas Handling. Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in its pure state is inert, nontoxic, odorless, nonflammable and colorless. Ithas excellent arc quenching properties and exhibits exceptional thermal stability.
