It was game producer produced and game design designed by Noah Falstein . The game was supplied on a flippy disk . One side had the Atari version, the other side had the Commodore 64 version. The Atari version required computers with the George s Television Interface Adapter GTIA chip installed in order to display properly. Koronis Rift was one of two games in Lucasfilm Games second wave December 1985 . The other was The Eidolon . Both took advantage of the fractal technology developed for Rescue on Fractalus , further enhancing it. In Koronis Rift , the Atari 800 s additional colors over those of the Commodore 64 allowed the game programmer programmers to gradually fade in the background rather than suddenly popping it in as in Rescue .

Image East rift zone kilauea.jpg thumb 300px East Rift Zone on Kilauea A rift zone is a feature of some volcano es, especially the shield volcano es of Hawaii , in which a linear series of fissure vent fissure s in the volcanic edifice allows lava to be erupted from the volcano s flank instead of from its summit. For example, in the currently ongoing eruption of Kilauea lava is emitted continuously from the Pu u Pu okina u okina okina vent located in Kilauea s East Rift Zone roughly 15 km east of Kilauea Crater. Rift zones tend to extend for tens of kilometers radially outward from the volcanic summit most Hawaiian volcanoes have two or sometimes three of them. The accumulated lava of repeated eruptions from rift zones causes many Hawaiian volcanoes to have an elongated shape. Perhaps the best example of this is Mauna Loa , which in Hawaiian language Hawaiian means long mountain . The origin of the fractures that comprise the rift zones is spreading of the volcano. ref Hazlett, R.W. and Hyndman, D.W. Roadside Geology of Hawaii, 1996 ref The more material a shield volcano accumulates, the heavier it gets, and it begins to settle due to the simple effects of gravity. The surface spreads and ruptures. The reason lava often erupts from the flanks of Hawaiian volcanoes is gravity it is easier for liquid lava, which is heavy, to flow laterally out the sides of a mountain than to be pushed up an additional several hundred or several thousand meters in elevation to be erupted from the summit. These systems of fissures that make up a rift zone allow this to happen more easily.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Context date October 2009 The metabolic rift is a term developed by John Bellamy Foster to signify the socio ecological contradictions of the town country division of labor in the capitalist era. Although Karl Marx never used the term metabolic rift, he did write of an irreparable rift in the interdependent process of social metabolism created by the rise of capitalism. ref Marx, Karl. 1981. Capital , Vol. III. New York Penguin, p. 949. ref Marx s understanding of social metabolism allowed him to develop a systematic critique of capitalist exploitation in the sense of robbery, i.e., failing to maintain the means of reproduction of the soil. Fertility, Marx argued, is not a natural quality as previously thought, but rather bound up with the social relations of the time, characterized by the rise of what he calls large scale industry, which required factories, workers, dense urban centers, and large amounts of food. The main metabolic rift Marx saw was in the nutrient cycle, in that nutrients that were previously being recycled into the soil were not longer able to be recycled, because the products were being transported away to somewhere else. Before the Industrial Revolution, in small scale farms, farmers would use cow manure or local seaweed to fertilize the soil with the Industrial Revolution, the nutrients and their products were being transported in from larger distances, creating the potential for a greater rift. Therefore, Marx argues that capitalist ...

Largely using the 1811 12 ref Walker, Bryce. Earthquake . Amsterdam Time Life Books, 1982. pp. 7, 122 3. ref New Madrid earthquake as a base, he depicts the breakdown of infrastructure that would result if an earthquake of equal magnitude were to occur today. The title of the novel is a double entendre . It is a reference to the theory that the New Madrid quake was the result of a failed rifting of North America, but also to the deep racial and social divides that are portrayed throughout the story. Borrowing elements from Mark Twain s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn , Joseph Conrad s Heart of Darkness novel Heart of Darkness , and E.L. Doctorow s Ragtime novel Ragtime , it primarily follows the story of a white teenager and an African American man on their journey down the devastated Mississippi River . Although the focus of the novel is the journey of the two main characters, there are dozens of side stories and parallel plot lines throughout the book. Some of which are a preacher who leads his flock to believe that the end has come, a Sheriff and Ku Klux Klan KKK member who begins a program of genocide against the people left homeless by the disaster, a technician struggling to keep a Louisiana nuclear power plant from melting down, and an Army Corps of Engineers commander trying to curtail the devastation wrought by the failure of the levee system.

image riftsawn.svg thumb 250px Schematic Riftsawn log using a common technique Refimprove date June 2010 Rift sawing is a technique of cutting boards from logs. Each board is cut along a radius of the original log, so that the saw cuts at right angles to the tree s growth ring. This produces lumber of great stability. However, since this produces a great deal of waste in the form of wedge shaped scraps from between the boards . rift sawing is much less commonly used than flat sawing and quarter sawing . Flat sawing produces the least waste, but produces boards which are more susceptible to warping and shrinkage, and which have a distinctive grain which may be esthetically undesirable for some uses. Quarter sawing produces more waste than flat sawing, but has a straighter grain, which in addition to being visually pleasing, makes the lumber more stable. Quartersawn wood is seen as an acceptable compromise between economical but less stable flatsawn wood which, especially in oak, will often display the distinct cathedral window grain and the expensively wasteful riftsawn wood, which has the straightest grain and thus the greatest stability.
