Hands-on Practice

I use google as the search engine.

1.
  • The keywords: U.S. president + Caldwell

  • The answer is Stephen Grover Cleveland. He is the 22nd and 24th president of United States, and the place of birth to him is Caldwell, New Jersy.
  • The reference URL

2.

  • The keywords: named "EbolaVirus"
  • The URL
  • The virus comes from the filoiridae family, of which the Marburg virus is also a member. It is named after the Ebola River in Zaire, Africa, near where the first outbreak was noted by Dr. Ngoy Mushola in 1976 after a significant outbreak in Yambuku, Zaire ( now the Democratic Republic of the Congo), and Nzara, in western Sudan. Of 602 identified cases, there were 397 deaths.

3.

  • The keywords: "Empire State Building + address"

4.

  • The keywords: invented + "paperclips"
  • The URL
  • Johann Vaaler invented the paper clip.
  • The reference URL
  • Drawings of his design date to early 1899, but since Norway had no patnet law at the time, he had to seek patnet rights in Germany and the US in the following years.

5.

  • The keywords: "the largest recorded earthquake" + country
  • The URL
  • The largest recorded earthquake in the U.S. was a magnitude 9.2 that struck Prince William Sound, Alaska, on March 28, 1964.
  • The largest recorded earthquake in the world was a magnitude 9.5 in Chile on May 22, 1960. After the earthquake seismographs recorded seismic waves that traveled all around the Earth. These seismic waves shook the entire earth for many days. This phenomenon is called the free oscillation of the Earth.
