Answer to Question 1

The Northridge earthquake of 1994 was the first major quake to strike a major metropolitan area since 1933 . Major freeways collapsed, parking structures crashed down, and apartment buildings flattened to the ground.
Initially, talk was that Southern California was damaged beyond repair and that it would never be rebuilt again. However, this turned out to be false, and people did indeed rebuild.

Answer to Question 2

The construction of canals and waterways to transport water from the less arid north to the more arid regions of Southern California, and the flattening of the Central Valley for agriculture.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
