Frederick Douglass Earthquake Madness

In Afghanistan people were trapped in their homes, and objects were not properly tied down. Buildings kill people not earthquakes.

On August 24, 2014 a magnitude 6.0 earthquake occurred in and around the city of Napa, CA. The earthquake killed one person and injured over 150 people. And these people were treated at Queen of the Valley Medical Center in Napa [1]. More and more earthquakes occurred on this earth. So this grasps people’s attention.

water fractures within the earth. Causing certain areas of the land to have an earthquake effect

Of all the naturally occurring events on Earth, earthquakes are among the most devastating and bring a lot of truth to the statement, “Just because something is natural does not mean it is not dangerous.” Earthquakes are one of the most natural things I can think of that can cause massive damage and loss of human live in many instances, and the effects are sometimes long term. “Nothing happens without a force. Many geophysicists accept the theory that continents move as a result of the forces generated by mantel convection deep within Earth – motions driven by our planet’s internal heat energy” (Trefil & Hazen, 2010). According to National Geographic (1996-2012), constant movement in the tectonic plates that make up the Earth’s

An earthquake is where two transform plate boundaries slide and creak the earth. This is what happened in the Philippines. Although it was in 2013 the people are still in need of help to get back to their daily lives. The Philippines earthquake had a magnitude of 7.1. This earthquake was gigantic, and it took down many buildings that were in its path. Lucky the children were not in school that day because of the Muslim holidays the earthquake caused the school to collaspe. If the children were in school, then it would have killed most of the kids.There were 2,100 aftershocks. The day of the quake was October 15, 2013. People respond to a natural disaster by gathering materials and donations, spreading the word, and the government's aid.

The first few seconds of your first earthquake are disconcerting. You don’t know what’s happening. The undulation, the noise, the inability to focus -- it’s all disconcerting. But once you’ve been in a few, you know the feeling. You don’t relax, but you don’t panic, either.

Going to a place that is supposed to be for joy and then experiencing an earthquake can be traumatic. After living through a traumatic experience a person may never be themselves again. Earthquakes not only damage affect people physically, it also can affect them

This causes the ground to shake either not that hard or vigorously. What some folks don’t know is that there happens to be many earthquakes every day just we do not happen to feel them as much. Other earthquakes are huge and have a big impact.

Earthquakes have been recorded throughout history for thousands of years. Even before seismographs in early times, there are records and accounts of mysterious ground shaking. Earthquakes occur when rocks break along an underground fault (UPSeis, 2007). This, in return, causes vibrations through the earth which causes ground shaking. The magnitude of the shaking varies depending on how great the movement along the fault is; the greater the movement, the bigger the earthquake. Some earthquakes are huge and cause significant damage, while others are small and cause little or no damage what-so-ever. Earthquakes are unpredictable, and can happen at any time. It is uncertain where an earthquake will strike, but there is a greater risk

The main reason for humans are collapse of buildings,landslides, and tsunamis. Animals can sense shakes. They can feel the seismic waves before us. There are various reports which shows that they start acting strangely, very restless, nervous and frightened. Earthquakes environmental effects are surface faulting, tectonic uplift, subsidence, soil liquefactions, ground resonance, landslides, and ground failure. Primary effects of shakes are property damage,loss of lives,fire,and tsunami waves. Some secondary effects are economic loss, disease, lack of food, and clean water. “The effects on the ground in the intensity scales, by Terra

There are other ways to improve buildings to reduce the impact of earthquakes. In some Japanese buildings, there’s a base isolation built. The “Base Isolation” is a system that is made of steel disks. These steel disks are made of soft materials to soften the transmission of seismic movement from the ground

Earthquake Hazards occur when there are adverse effects on human activities. This can include surface faulting, ground shaking and liquefaction. In this essay I will be discussing the factors that affect earthquakes, whether human such as population density, urbanisation and earthquake mitigation or physical such as liquefaction, magnitude, landslides and proximity to the focus.

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. A fault is a break in the rocks that make up the Earth’s crust, along which rocks on either side have moved past each other. When these rocks push together they release energy/ vibration. This sudden

Purpose: Everyone will think that we are living in a peaceful state now and ignore to pay attention to the natural disaster information. On the contrary, this thought in your mind will reduce your sense of crisis. Believe or not, increase a sense of crisis of the earthquake and learn more earthquake information can decrease the damage when the earthquakes occur in our life

     An Earthquake is the shaking of the earth's surface caused by rapid movement of the earth's rocky outer layer. The sudden shaking of the ground that occurs when masses of rock change position below the Earth's surface is called an earthquake. The shifting masses send out shock waves that may be powerful enough to alter the surface of the Earth, thrusting up cliffs and opening great cracks in the ground.
