earthquake at about 05:46:23 UTC. Many cities‚ including the capital Tokyo‚ were devastated by the earthquake. The quake was a result of the pacific plate subducting underneath the Japan plate. It had occurred about eighty miles east of the city of Sendai near the northeast coast of Honshu and about 15.2 miles deep which caused the seafloor to uplift and shift vertically (Parry). This in turn triggered the destructive tsunami. In the image (Fig. 1) below‚ you can see the height of the tsunami at different

Nuclear power is complicated. A nuclear power plant provides energy that does not contribute to global warming. Climate concerns have seen a rise in the construction of new reactors to address growing demands of electricity worldwide. Currently the United States and Canada receive 20% of their electric power from nuclear plants. The rest of the world is at 6% but rising. The benefits drive the nuclear energy movement and continue to do so and the proponents of nuclear power see this as an indispensable

Nuclear power‚ or nuclear energy‚ is the use of exothermic nuclear processes carried out in controlled manner‚ to generate useful heat and electricity. Nuclear power works by using the energy from nuclear fission or fusion to generate heat. At the moment‚ nuclear fusion is still a subject of intense research and not used in production which is a pity. Nuclear fission is basically what is happening in a reactor. Radioactive elements have unstable nuclei and they are constantly going through random
