<span>The intensity of an earthquake is dependent on one's proximity to the focus of the quake, also called the "epicenter" and is based on observations of the shaking of the ground on humans, structures, and the natural landscape.</span>
One of the many random useless factoids that I carry around

to exactly 88 feet per second.
So in three seconds at that speed, you would cover exactly
(3 x 88) = 264 feet.
A gyre is a set of currents that form b. a loop. The circulation of gyres are affected by global wind patterns, landmasses, and the planet's rotation. The circulation is also affected by temperature, as warm water goes up and cold water sinks. There are five major gyres in the world: <span>North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, North Pacific, and South Pacific.</span>
