Richter scale and lastedfor a duration of 500 to 600 seconds. It was so large that it caused the entire planet to vibrate with anamplitude reaching over half an inch. The quake released an amount of energy equal to a 100 gigatonbomb. It was the second largest earthquake ever recorded by seismographs. Earthquakes are caused when built up stresses along the fault lines are suddenly released. Faultlines are boundaries of tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are large segments of earth crust that float on topof the earth magma and lock up along the fault lines. Fig.1 shows the three basic types of earthquakemovements. A combination of these basic movements is used in explanation of earthquakes. (a) (b

Class A(n=15) received no library instruction, while Class B (n=20) received one hour of focused library Page 12.577.5instruction. We then calculated the bibliographic figure-of-merit for each group’s project byassigning the values as shown in Table I. After discarding the highest and lowest values fromeach sample, the average figure of merit for Class A was 0.866. In Class B, the average figure ofmerit is 3.125, indicating greater use of scholarly resources in preparing their final projects(P.05). These results are to be
