If such alloys possess other properties which
make them suitable for die casting, they are
obvious choices for the process, because their
lower melting point will lead to longer die
lives than would be obtained with alloys of
higher melting points.
However, even if prediction becomes
possible, people who live in areas where
earthquakes are a common occurrence
will still have to do their best to prevent
disasters by building structures that are
resistant to ground movement and by
being personally prepared
Scientists are learning a great deal about
how the large plates in the earth’s crust
move, the stresses between plates, how
earthquakes work, and the general probability
that given place will have an earthquake,
although they still cannot predict earthquakes
As the science of gene expression grows, we
may be able to create genes that can turn
themselves off after they have gone through a
certain number of cell divisions or after the gene
has produced a certain amount of the desired
product.
