  • in short :

    President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter.

    Ms. Zacharia had gotten off to a bumpy start with her first and final press briefing on Tuesday, in which :
    1- she largely read off a script and
    2- (she) ended questioning after just three queries (were addressed to her).

    That was followed by an onslaught of headlines about whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer — the president called her “an attorney” — despite failing her bar exam.

    Richter magnitudes

    10

    Seismologist Susan Hough has suggested that a magnitude 10 quake may represent a very approximate upper limit for what the Earth’s tectonic zones are capable of, which would be the result of the largest known continuous belt of faults rupturing together (along the Pacific coast of the Americas).[…ref…] A research at the Tohoku University in Japan found that a magnitude 10 earthquake was theoretically possible if a combined 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) of faults from the Japan Trench to the Kuril–Kamchatka Trench ruptured together and moved by 60 metres (200 ft) (or if a similar large-scale rupture occurred elsewhere). Such an earthquake would cause ground motions for up to an hour, with tsunamis hitting shores while the ground is still shaking, and if this kind of earthquake occurred, it would probably be a 1-in-10,000-year event.
