To what extent can volcanic hazards be managed effectively? Volcanic hazards can be detrimental to the lives of the people who live near the active zone of the volcano in question due to their immense power coming from the centre of the earth however with effective management of the risks the number of deaths‚ disrupted lives and the economic damage can be reduced greatly. An example I will use of a recent volcano that erupted was Mt St Helens which is an active supervolcano located in Washington

The weird ethical hazard to Hester in her loneliness was that it gave her moreover small chance for demonstrative interaction with other people. Hawthorne forced the readers to ponder that how a woman committing adultery is a major offence in a hypocritical society. Hawthorne symbolized Hester as an agent and a rebel who violates laws as Tony Tanner offered a likely justification by saying that: “the adulteress represents a violation of social contract and the harmonic interrelation of clearly defined

Evaluate the strategies used to reduce the impact of tectonic hazards. Tectonic hazards are comprised of earthquakes and volcanoes; they are named ‘tectonic hazards’ as it is ultimately the movement of tectonic plates that cause these events. These hazards have the potential to kill thousands and devastate the region it strikes. Although the main hazard causes destruction‚ events that follow can be equally‚ if not more‚ devastating‚ for example an earthquake can often trigger a tsunami. Many strategies

Tobacco was a main crop in colonial America that helped stabilize the economy (Cotton 1). Despite the fact that tobacco took the place of the other crops in Virginia‚ as well as replacing the hunt for gold with tobacco cultivation. It proved to be a major cash crop‚ especially in Virginia and Maryland (Weeks 3). Tobacco left many people financially troubled because other occupations were disregarded or not as profitable as tobacco farmers (Randel 128). The unemployment that tobacco brought about

1.1- Introduction Availability of natural resources and their proper application to overall development activities is the key factor for the economic growth of any nation. Bangladesh‚ though it is a small country of about 143‚998 sq km‚ has a number of mineral resources within its territory. The mineral resources so far discovered are mineral fuels (oil‚ gas‚ coal‚ peat)‚ hard rock‚ limestone‚ white clay‚ glass sand and heavy mineral sands. It was previously assumed that the geological setting of
