Notes:
A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Nebulae exist in the space between the stars-also known as interstellar space. The closest known nebula to Earth is called the Helix Nebula.

Notes:
The point within the earth where the actual movement takes place is called the focus. The point on the surface directly above the focus is called the epicenter. At least three seismic stations are needed to find the earthquake epicenter. A single recording station can only calculate distance, but not direction; to cover all possibilities, a complete circle is drawn around that station. If only two earthquake recording stations are used, the circles will overlap at two points. Data from a third recording station will eliminate one of these points.

Notes:
The Eurasian Plate is a tectonic plate which includes most of the continent of Eurasia (a landmass consisting of the traditional continents of Europe and Asia), with the notable exceptions of the Indian subcontinent, the Arabian subcontinent, and the area east of the Chersky Range in East Siberia.

Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, is located on a vast plain bisected by the River Tigris. The Tigris splits Baghdad in half, with the eastern half being called ‘Risafa’ and the Western half known as ‘Karkh’. The land on which the city is built is almost entirely flat and low-lying, being of alluvial origin due to the periodic large floods which have occurred on the river.
