We present the results of a paleoseismic survey of the Incapuquio Fault System, a prominent transpressional fault system cutting the forearc of South Perú. High-resolution Digital Elevation Models, optical satellite imagery, radiocarbon dating, and paleoseismic trenching indicate that at least 2–3 m of net slip occurred on the Incapuquio Fault generating a complex, ∼100-km long set of segmented fault scarps in the early 15th century (∼1400–1440 CE). We interpret the consistent along-strike pattern of fault scarp heights, geometries and kinematics to reflect a surface rupture generated by a single Mw 7.4–7.7 earthquake, suggesting that brittle failure of the forearc poses a significant, yet mostly overlooked, seismic hazard to the communities in coastal areas of Perú. The timing of this earthquake coincides with the collapse of the Chiribaya civilization in ∼1360–1400 CE, ...

Most of the problems concerning the fluids flow in conduits and tubes they imply the prediction of the conditions in a section of a system, when the conditions of some other section are known. In any section of this system, generally we are worried about the pressure of the fluid, the speed of the flow and the elevation of the section. In a line of pipe in series the loss of total energy is the sum of the great and small individual losses. This affirmation is in agreement with the principle of which the equation of the energy is a way to both take into account all the energy in the system between points. The nature parallel systems requires that the technique used for their analysis is different from which is used in series in the analysis of the systems. In general, a parallel system can have any number of branches. It stops most of the problems of this type, the objective is to determi...
