Natural Hazards – Bushfires A natural hazard is a natural event that has a significantly negative effect on people or the environment. Many natural hazards are related. For example drought can lead to famine and earthquakes can form tsunamis and landslides. Australia’s most common natural hazards are storms‚ cyclones‚ floods‚ droughts‚ heatwaves and bushfires. Natural Hazards have a major impact on Australian communities including loss of life‚ property damage‚ environmental destruction‚ and a

Electrical Machines I Prof. Krishna Vasudevan‚ Prof. G. Sridhara Rao‚ Prof. P. Sasidhara Rao 2 Basic Principles As mentioned earlier the transformer is a static device working on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction. Faraday’s law states that a voltage appears across the terminals of an electric coil when the flux linkages associated with the same changes. This emf is proportional to the rate of change of flux linkages. Putting mathematically‚ e= dψ dt (1) Where‚ e is the induced

Lava This presentation will discuss two questions which are How is Lava Produced? And What hazards/dangers does lava pose? It will also study one example of a Lava Flow in Hawaii. Lava is molten rock expelled by a volcano during erupting. It is produced/ formed in the interior of planets including Earth and their satellites. When the lava is first erupted from the vent in a volcano otherwise known as the volcanic vent‚ lava is a liquid and varies from 700°C to 1‚200°C. Although lava is

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. It can be said that it’s easier to predict an event than prevent it‚ however prediction does have a positive impact on the effects of a volcanic hazard. Firstly‚ the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored

Hazards of Unsafe Driving Driving in and of itself is unsafe in its nature. The only thing keeping you connected to the ground is just four small patches of rubber. That is exactly why we should not take more risks while driving. Sure it may seem like you have layer of steel protecting you‚ but when you look at it‚ there is really not a lot between you and the ground when your going 50 miles an hour. The hazards of not following the rules of the road can be devastating. Not only can unsafe driving

blue dots represent the flow of electrons. They are moving because they are experiencing an electric current force within the wire. Explain what a battery does in an electrical circuit? Refer to page 606 in your textbook. (3 points) A battery provides a source of electrical energy. A battery also converts chemical energy to electrical energy. Batteries have two voltage sources that have terminals that connect to wires in a circuit. One terminal is positive and another one is negative. Click in

1. Define what is meant by the term “natural hazard”. A natural hazard is a threat of a naturally occurring event that will have a negative effect on people or the environment. 2. Provide a brief description of the type of hazard you have been allocated. Bushfires: A bushfire is a large out-of-control fire occurring in areas with large amounts of flammable vegetation. Bushfires are hard to control as the right weather conditions and wind direction can cause a bushfire to spread from the

Hazards of Electronic waste Electronic waste‚ e-waste‚ e-scrap‚ or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) describes loosely discarded‚ surplus‚ obsolete‚ or broken electrical or electronic devices. Informal processing of electronic waste in developing countries causes serious health and pollution problems. Some electronic scrap components‚ such as CRTs‚ contain contaminants such as lead‚ cadmium‚ beryllium‚ mercury‚ and brominated flame retardants. Even in developed countries recycling
