very expensive and driving a car will make you broke. 2. Earthquake Japan ( Fukushima) – effecting the nuclear energy: 11 March 2011‚ the earthquake nearby Sendai in the ocean caused the nuclear disaster around Fukushima. This nuclear disaster was a series of equipment failures – nuclear meltdowns – releases of radioactive materials at the ‘Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant’. This nuclear disaster was followed with an earthquake and a tsunami named Tõhoku at level 7. 28000 people were dead

Geological hazards Seattle is threatened by several geological hazards‚ such as earthquakes‚ flooding‚ volcanos and landslides and shore erosion. Perhaps one of the most prominent hazards to Seattle is the Massive volcano‚ MT. Rainier‚ which lies 54 miles southeast of Seattle. MT. Rainier stands at an elevation of 14‚411 feet and is very

every rattle and roll. Tom Brocher of the U.S. Geological Survey says: "You can see the red waves travelling away from the Kingdome." The areas that shook the worst then also shook the worst when the 6 point eight (on the Richter scale) Nisqually earthquake hit. "We shouldn’t be surprised to see damage at Boeing field and at the port of Seattle where we did see damage‚ because in both of those areas the ground shook longer and harder than other parts of Seattle." It’s what’s known as a slab quake (located)

Lakes are most abundant in high northern latitudes and in mountain regions‚ particularly those that were covered by glaciers in recent geologic times. The primary sources of lake water are melting ice and snow‚ springs‚ rivers‚ runoff from the land surface‚ and direct precipitation. In the upper part of lakes there is a good supply of light‚ heat‚ oxygen‚ and nutrients‚ well distributed by currents and turbulence. As a result‚ a large number of diverse aquatic organisms can be found there. The most

wave train made in the ocean with longer than usual wave lengths. This wave reaches all the way to the sea floor moving an entire water column as it drives through the ocean (McNamara) A tsunami starts beneath the water and is normally caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. The size of a tsunami wave length from crest to crest can be from 6 miles to 311 miles long (McNamara). Tsunami was named by the Japanese‚ which had the meaning of Harbor wave. They are also known as tidal and seismic waves

Before the earthquake‚ SOUTHCOM did developed a functional plan (FUNCPLAN 6150-06) for HADR operations in theater‚ but the plan was written for a traditional J-code organization and had not been updated to reflect the SOUTHCOM organization just prior to the earthquake. Moreover‚ there was no standing Concept of Operations (CONOP) or Operations Plan (OPLAN) with an associated Time Phased Force

2004‚ at 07:58:50 local time. The magnitude of the earthquake was 9.2 for 5 minutes. This was one of the most powerful earthquakes for 100 years. The fault ruptured on the subduction zone of the Indian (Eurasian) plate and the Sunda plate (Indonesian plate). The plates usually move 6.2cm per year. The epicentre was 20 kilometres deep under the sea(very shallow!)‚ 250km off the coast of Indonesia near the city of Banda Ache. The earthquake caused the Indonesian plate to suddenly jolt upwards

Project The system comprises three major components a sand bed‚ a pair of concrete slabs‚ an arrey of springs and shock absorbers. A sand bed seismic absorption system is used to minimize and absorb the seismic waves during an earthquake. The system compromises of a bed of damp sand between two polymer membranes. The membrane consists of polyane‚ a flexible and durable material used mainly in trash bags and onsite construction. The polymer membrane also keeps the sand damp and maintains the moisture
