other hand‚ Tsunamis can be caused by a few different factors‚ which are an earthquake‚ a large-scale undersea landslide‚ a submarine volcanic eruption (Cause of Tsunami‚ n.d.). Firstly‚ the vast majority of tsunamis results from the earthquake. The earth ’s surface is covered by the continents and sea floor which are parts of the world-wide system of plates that are in the very slow motion. An earthquake occurs where the edges of plates run into one another‚ which are called faults

storms‚ and earthquakes. The great state of California is no stranger to its part of natural destroyers. Many cities in the state have had its share having earthquakes. Earthquakes are produced by abrupt motion along a fault when friction that resists such motion is overcome by stress. Cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles have been known to have earthquake as well. California sits along the San Andreas Fault and there is more than just this one that has been named. Many earthquakes are produced

P1 I am going to identify and explain six potential hazards within a health or social care setting and discuss the health‚ safety and security risks to the service users arising from the hazards I identify. A hazard is something that could cause harm and a risk is the chance‚ high or low that someone could be harmed by that hazard. A health risk is a risk leading to an illness‚ a safety risk is a risk leading to a personal injury or damage to equipment and buildings and a security risk is a risk

This document can be used to identify the level of risk and help to prioritise any control measures. Consider the consequences and likelihood for each of the identified hazards and use the table to obtain the risk level. Consequences 1 – Insignificant Dealt with by in-house first aid‚ etc 2 – Minor Medical help needed. Treatment by medical professional/hospital outpatient‚ etc 3 – Moderate Significant non-permanent injury. Overnight hospitalisation (inpatient) 4 – Major

Geography Assignment: Earthquake Part A: 1. Earthquakes are the sudden and rapid shaking of the earth. The collision of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions are what cause earthquakes. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and by volcanoes. The Earth’s crust is made up of plates which can freely slide across the mantle. When these plates collide or slide past with other plates‚ earthquakes occur. After the main earthquake‚ an aftershock may occur as the rock masses

Derron Brown Period 3 Hurricanes and Earthquakes Have you ever noticed how many deaths have occurred due to natural disasters? Well if you don’t know what a natural disaster is‚ it is a natural hazard to the environment (floods‚ tornados‚ hurricanes‚ volcanoes‚ earthquakes‚ tsunamis). All of these natural disasters can cause severe damage to the environment and many deaths. In this essay I am only going to talk about earthquakes and hurricanes. An earthquake occurs when stored energy underneath

Solidum Jr.‚ director of PHIVOLCS- an institute of the government assigned to regulate and monitor volcanic activities as well as earthquake predictions‚ effects and sources. The aim of this symposium was to inform the students‚ faculty members‚ administrators and those of general services of the necessary precautions to prevent further damage that may happen during earthquakes.
