This ruling was also affirmed by the Florida appeals court and denied a hearing by the Florida Supreme Court. When Terri Schiavo's feeding tube was removed for the second time, in 2003, the Florida legislature created âTerri's Lawâ to override the court decision, and the tube was again reinserted. This law was subsequently ruled an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.
Liquefaction-Liquefaction is a processes that occurs in water-saturated unconsolidated sediment due to shaking. In areas underlain by such material, the ground shaking causes the grains to loose grain to grain contact, and thus the material tends to flow.
Sediment is any material deposited on the earth's surface that is derived from rocks by weathering. The products of weathering include rock fragments (detritus), new minerals, such as kaolinite and hematite, and dissolved ions, which may later precipitate from water.. Detrital sedimentary rocks: These rocks are composed of mineral grains and/or rock fragments transported and deposited by some geologic agent. Detrital rocks are typically composed of mineral grains derived from silicate rocks.
