reading books‚ experiencing directly and so on. However‚ if someone wants to be more competent than other people‚ he or she should have far more knowledge than them. Therefore‚ I believe knowledge gained from books is more important thyan gained from experience. First of all‚ we can reduce our errors and save time. If we know the exact ways to implement some work‚ we just need to follow the ways that we know. Every book related to our work can give us that avenues which are really unambiguous

The strongest earthquake hit Mexico in a century. Thousands of people lost their homes after the earthquake hit Mexico.The earthquake struck on the 32nd anniversary of the earthquake in 1985 that killed around 10‚000 people. The earthquake occurred two weeks after a magnitude of a 8.1 tremor in the south of the country that killed more than 90 people. It also cause building and houses in Mexico City to sway for more than a min while it was happening. Nieto said that “This earthquake has been the biggest

Experience‚ which is the best teacher in our life to leading our behaviors and changing our mind. Culture‚ which is also the root for individuals values.Both of them give us lots of influence and changing our life all the times.It is hard to say which changes us the most on such a controversial question.Just like experiences lead us what to think and cultures provide us how we think. They are individually and connecting with each other.Despite our past experiences affecting the way we see the world

when analyzing data from earthquake reconnaissance. Though there are significant differences between the uses of concrete in structures‚ it is certain that the properties of the concrete should match the task they are meant to perform. For instance‚ concrete which is intended to perform well in seismic regions should ideally be designed differently from typical concrete. This is a practice which is already in place in newer structures in seismic zones. During earthquake reconnaissance‚ I feel it

My Personal Experience Throughout the duration of the ‘Managing People & Organisations’ module‚ I have learnt my strengths and weaknesses. I believe one of my personal strengths was undertaking background research. I was constantly testing my ability to research and present findings through every task of this module. However‚ there is always room for improvement and this module helped adapt that. We were given many opportunities to present our research findings through group work‚ in the format

Earthquakes: Why do some places suffer more than others? Whilst earthquakes are perhaps the most frequently occurring natural hazard‚ their impact on people‚ property and communities varies enormously from one place to another. It is possible to identify a number of factors that cause some places to suffer more than others. Whilst some are large scale and are to do with tectonic location‚ others are decided at a much more local scale‚ and relate to building design and levels of preparedness. Perhaps

What you would do before‚ during and after an earthquake? Earthquake is a natural phenomenon that happens all over the world. It causes a lot of horrible losses and sometimes even human losses. It shivers even when we talk about it‚ it’s like been played with‚ you can think only about one thing that your life is about to end. So what you would do before‚ during and after the earthquake if you knew that it might happen in a week?! At the beginning you must know how to be prepared is a good question

our society than earthquakes? Many people may argue that volcanoes are much more dangerous than earthquakes due to the devastating impact it has on people lives and the area it takes place in; however‚ others may solidify that earthquakes are infinitely more catastrophic than volcanoes considering the amount of destruction that it causes. There are two types of plates‚ oceanic and continental. Various types of movement occur along the different types of plate boundaries. Earthquakes measuring a magnitude

Andreas Fault and its role in Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Prediction The San Andreas Fault is one of the most widely studied faults in the world. Scientists use an array of methods in collecting data and providing analysis of fault characteristics both past and present. Presently there are many differing hypothesis and models used to describe crustal movements and deformation within the Pacific and North American plate boundary. Historical earthquakes along this fault have proven to be rather large

Japan and Earthquake/Tsunami Mitigation Geography 312 – Term Paper Alexandra Bradshaw – 301144682 March 29th‚ 2012 On March 11th 2011‚ Japan suffered a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off its northern coast‚ followed by an enormous tsunami which took the lives of around 20‚000 people. An earthquake of this magnitude had never been experienced in the history of mankind‚ and came as a shock to many seismologists. With the title of being the most earthquake prepared country in the world‚ Japan was thought
