The impact of earthquakes are what typically generate tsunami waves. The biggest tsunami ever recorded hit southwest shoreline of Alaska in 1958. The force of the wave was measured at 1720 feet (524 meters) high. This is the largest wave that has ever been known to humans!

Information travels at different speeds within different types of neurons. Not all neurons are the same. There are a few different types within the body and transmission along these different kinds can be as slow as 0.5 meters/sec or as fast as 120 meters/sec.

The human body is estimated to have 60,000 miles of blood vessels. To put that in perspective, the distance around the earth is about 25,000 miles, making the distance your blood vessels could travel if laid end to end more than two times around the earth.

Thanu can travel 24 miles downstream in a certain river in 12hrs less than it takes him to travel the same distance upstream. But if he could double his usual rowing rate for his 48 mile round trip, the downstream 24 miles would then take only 2hr less than the upstream 24miles. What is the speed of the current in miles per hour? A) 2 / 3 miles/hr B) 8 / 3 miles/hr C) 7 / 5 miles/hr D) 3 / 5 miles/hr
