When: 22nd February‚ 2011 Boundary type; On an already formed fault line on the pacific plate. What happened: It is considered an aftershock of a previous 7.1 magnitude earthquake‚ which happened in September 2010. A magnitude 6.3 on the Richter scale hit 10 km east of Christ Church and 5km deep. This was New Zealand second worst ever earthquake. A tsunami was created by the Tasman Glacier sliding into the ocean creating a wave 11 feet high. There was also some liquefaction and some occurrences

earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale‚ also referred to as the Richter scale. These two scales are numerically similar over their range of validity. Magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible or weak and magnitude 7 and over potentially cause serious damage over larger areas‚ depending on their

India divide the country into five seismic zones as described on the above map. The zone V is the highest risk zone where earthquakes of having intensity of 9 plus on the Richter scale can take place. Earthquake of an intensity between 8 to 9 can be experienced in Zone IV whereas earthquake can occur between 6 and 8 on the Richter scale in Zone III of India. The respective seismic zones of important urban centres of India are described as below. Town Seismic Zone Town Seismic Zone Agra III

Part One Japan’s devastating combination of earthquake and tsunami was a wakeup call reminding companies across the world how much they rely on nature to commerce business. On Friday 11 March 2011‚ an earthquake measuring 9.0 on Richter scale struck off Japan’s north-east coast of Tohoku which happened at 2:46pm (Alabaster et al. 2011). The massive earthquake was caused due to thrust faulting where rocks placed lower in the earth’s crust get pushed over the overlying layers (Alabaster et al. 2011)

been strengthening in the rocks of the Philippine and pacific plates‚ once this stress was released‚ shock waves travelled through the Earth’s crust. This resulted in mass destruction in the form of ‘The Kobe Earthquake’ (Which reached 7.2 on the Richter scale!) And was the worst recorded disaster for Japan since World War 2. If you remember correctly the earthquake took place at 5:40 a.m. so most people would have been in mid-slumber‚ which would’ve delayed their reactions‚ consequently trapping

Admit it though we are engineering students we are not so familiar of the issues about how bridges collapse in just one glimpse. The first failure of a bridge happened August 29 by the year 1907‚ The Bridge was in Quebec and it killed 86 people. This is one of the most remarkable catastrophes in the field of Civil Engineering. Through this tragedy‚ aren’t the engineers and the people involved in construction never learned their lessons? And still record of failure of bridges still soar and one of

Humanity has been progressing ever since men have harnessed the gifts of nature: fire‚ wind‚ electricity‚ water‚ among others. Fire had been used since early humans ruled the land to keep them warm at night and defend them from wild and dangerous animals. Modern humans who have the ability to think efficiently have harnessed the power of the wind in transportation and even in generating energy. And electricity had been used to power up every machine used in different human activities. However‚

The five dimensions of external context within families who have no control and influence how families react to stressors are time in history‚ macroeconomics‚ human development‚ heredity and culture. The five dimensions of external context is the restraint in which the family must manage stress. The external context is the environment in which the family is embedded. An example of this would be a catastrophe event caused by nature. The external context is when the family has no control. It is a limit
