Mexican Earthquake Research Paper

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.

The following paper is on the economic effects of the Cascadia subduction fault line earthquake. This earthquake is predicted to happen within the next fifty years, and it's predicted to devastate everything west of Interstate 5. The earthquake can range from a 8.0 magnitude to a 9.2 magnitude, and will impact "some hundred and forty thousand square miles... and some seven million people" (Schulz).

At my house there would be some violent shaking combined with a high liquefaction risk, and based on this house being brick I don’t think it would fair to well. The brick could easily crumble given its age and the foundation could sink.

After the destruction of Tres Marias, because of the earthquake, it becomes one of the fanciest mansions it had ever been. Even though Esteban is slowly recovering from the earthquake, he feels as if he is shrinking slowly and slowly. He dismisses this thought and focuses his main plan to convince Clara back to loving him. But Clara does not like him anymore and doesn’t go to sleep in bed with him anymore. After a while he meets a person named Jean de Satigny, who is a filthy Frenchman wanting to marry the daughter of Esteban only for his money. They plan to begin a chinchilla fur business and Esteban agrees with the idea. Then Jaime and Nicolas appear in Tres Marias with their philosophies in aiding the poor people to achieving a better life. Old Pedro Garcia is found dead and because Esteban was in debts to him for saving his life, Esteban hold a huge funeral for Old Pedro. Later Esteban finds out that Blanca and Pedro Tercero are having sex near the riverbank and brings his rifle to kill both of them. He beats Clara so hard that blood was all over her body and signs of bruises were straining her weak skin. Clara attempts to get in the way of Esteban but is to no avail. She gets slapped hard across the face and loses her front teeth, making her personality/beauty look bad. She then never wants to speak to Esteban again and takes Blanca to their old house. Then again Esteban finds out from Esteban Garcia that Pedro Tercero is near the German sawmill and asks

Families stress after seeing the earthquake damage not knowing if their loved ones are safe seeing dead bodies around them. Now while the families watch Sparked robots will be looking. Families can lose nearly everyone and one person could be the only one left but, the others could have survived if they were found under the rubble in enough time. 90 percent of the homes were destroyed in Chautara after an earthquake, think of how many were under the rubble. This would be a dangerous job for rescue crews to find entire families under

This is North America's most quake prone area and is subducted. Subduction zone quakes account for nearly half of the world's destructive seismic events. For example, Back in 1989 there was a huge earthquake the happened in San Francisco, California with a magnitude of a 6.9. In the article “San Francisco Earthquake of 1989” stated that “A 1.25 mile segment of the two level Cypress Street Viaduct along the Nimitz Freeway, just south of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, collapsed during the quake, resulting in 42 fatalities when the upper level of the road crashed onto the cars on the lower level. One person was killed when a portion of the upper deck of the Bay Bridge which had been scheduled for a retrofitting the following week collapsed onto the lower level”(History). Ever since big earthquakes like this have occured Seismologists have been paying more attention to earthquakes to see how violent could one be, better prepare for them, and track down where the worst earthquakes happen most

After a devastating 7.1 magnitude earthquake that hit on September 19, 2017, Mexico is left with widespread damage and the loss of 326 people. The earthquake is expected to knock between 0.1 percent and 0.3 percent off Mexico’s gross domestic product in the third and fourth quarters. Due to this massive earthquake, rebuilding is expected to cost upward of $2 billion. Thankfully, rebuilding has begun, children have been cleared to resume school and medical help who suffered from the event. This catastrophic event could affect the United States, because we do a lot of trading with Mexico. Because Mexico is experiencing a time of scarcity, we can expect that less will be imported to the United States.

According to the article, the earthquake that just hit Mexico City is just a devastating event. The article proves that the earthquake was just a bad event from this quote "Planet Earth usually has about 15 to 20 earthquakes this size or larger each year, Earle". That quot from Earle explains that this is just one of the many earthquakes to come this year. It also proves that the earthquake that just hit was a devastating and not changing the earth because if the get that many earthquakes and than having the earthquakes been that bad or worse. I would think the earth would be changing in Mexico. That is why I believe that the earthquake that just hit was just a devastating event rather than changing the world because of the

Often more cases then not the earth is exceptionally cruel. In this instance we take into account the people of Haiti. These people have gone through what people can only imagine as impossible. Having experience the lose of loved ones and the destruction of many homes the Haitians have seen it all. Also being an extremely poor country to Haiti people it must seem as though the world is against them. With many justifying points it does seem as though the world is cruel and out to get us.

Most of Mexico City’s habitants have experienced the phenomenon since they were kids. Somehow they are used to it, and they feel prepared in case of a seismic alert. But some of them, like me, are not. I was new in the city, when around 5 AM, the seismic

Though many places suffer from natural disasters, San Francisco is an evident and frequent victim of earthquakes. Earthquakes occur due to the friction of plate tectonics at transform boundaries. Tectonic plates regularly move in different directions, often grinding against each other. Occasionally, these plates snag on each other and become stuck. The pressure between these plates build until the energy stored is released in the form of an earthquake. San Francisco is on a major transform boundary-the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is the transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate that cuts through the edge of California and, consequently, San Francisco. Furthermore, the San Andreas Fault has been heavily

An earthquake caused trouble in Western Australia earlier this week when it raged across the state destroying everything nearby. 17 people from Meckering and 3 men from nearby York were hospitalised as a result of the earthquake, but despite major damage and disruption to daily life state wide, miraculously, no lives were lost.

On Friday March 11th 2011 at 2:46 pm, Japan’s Eastern coast was hit with an earthquake of a 9.0 magnitude. Following the quake, an 18 foot tsunami was triggered causing the pre existing damage to be even more sever. The tsunami caused the AC power to disable in 3 of the plants, which kept the cooling system from working. As a result, hydrogen in the exploded in the fuel rods which stated the release of the large amounts of radioactive material into the surrounding area.The quake and tsunami alone caused 15,893 people to lose their lives. Not only did this devastate the country when it happened, but the disaster is still affecting not only Japan, but surrounding areas, such as the Pacific ocean and parts of the U.S.

A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck Japan at 12:25 p.m. local time Thursday, which was 9:25 p.m. Wednesday (PST). Its epicenter was reported 32 miles southeast of Shizunai, Japan. There were reports of at least two injured. Due to the earthquake, some airports were temporarily closed as runways were inspected. Officials also inspected a nuclear power plant and reported no problems. Railroads were inspected, again with no abnormalities reported. No tsunami threat was anticipated in the Pacific Ocean. There was a threat of avalanches and falling rocks in the northern region of Japan.

The main event caused both terrestrial and submarine land sliding to occur in the area. Around 30 slides were delineated, with a majority of them being submarine (Volker, et.al., 2011). These submarine slides were confined to the walls of various submarine canyons, and were characterized as thin transitional slides retrograding into open slopes adjacent to the canyons (Volker, et.al., 2011).
