- 10072: Earthquakes
- ... earth that is volcanic or tectonic in origin. "A broadly satisfying explanation of the majority of earthquakes can be given in terms of what is called plate tectonics.

What they found was that the men and women with better symmetry had started having sex 3-4 years before the people with average symmetry. Gangestead and Thornhill also completed another survey involving women's responses to symmetrical men and men with average symmetry. The results were as expected.
