2010 earthquakes

magnitude earthquake which initiated a tsunami, as well as the damage of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Reactor, creating a nuclear disaster. Japan is located at a plate boundary region, which makes earthquakes a common occurrence. From this Fukushima suffered from environmental impacts such as the contamination of food, health conditions such as thyroid damage as well as an impact on the economy that put Japan into even more debt. Since the disaster, Fukushima has undergone 128 more Earthquakes, indicating

Earthquakes are caused by energy from vibration of elastic waves in the ground. When the ground shakes, buildings respond to acceleration transmitted from the ground through the structure foundation. It takes taller buildings longer to feel the effects of an earthquake than shorter buildings which is why they are more susceptible to damage. Many tall buildings are constructed to withstand strong winds and precautions have been taken to protect them when the ground shakes. They can be made to receive

Outline worksheet Topic: To prepare the earthquakes Organization pattern: Topical Specific purpose: The purpose of this speech is to persuade my audience to understand why it is so important to learn the knowledge of preparing the earthquakes. Primary audience outcome: I want my audience to pay more attention to prepare the earthquake knowledge and rescue methods through I presenting facts of the earthquakes. Thesis statement: In the speech, I will continue to improve the earthquake’s knowledge

Earthquakes throughout the world have devastated certain areas of the world, some places more than others. One area of the world that has been absolutely devastated by many earthquakes throughout time is the South American country, Chile. While there have been many very substantial earthquakes in Chile, one stands out most, The Great Chilean Earthquake. On May 22, 1960, The Great Chilean Earthquake hit Chile. This is the largest earthquake ever recorded with a magnitude of 9.5 out of 10.0. It absolutely

Why do Earthquakes occur? An earthquake is the violent shaking of the ground which is caused by sudden movement in the Earth’s crust. Earthquakes occur because the tension gets released from inside the crust of the earth. Tectonic plates move alongside and past each other but they do not always move smoothly and when they get stuck it causes an earthquake because the pressure builds up then the pressure is finally released (see source 1). This movement from the plates forces waves of energy to

tragedy occurred on the coast of Southeast Asia. This tsunami was spawned by a large underwater earthquake (Larson). Catastrophes like these wreak havoc and devastation upon coastal communities, thus resulting in billions in property damage, which harm the environment and destroy human life. Both earthquakes and tsunamis release unleash powerful forces that have devastating effects on Earth. Earthquakes are the direct result of an abrupt release of energy beneath Earth’s surface. This discharge of

In the blink of an eye, everything can change. From a monstrous magnitude-9 earthquake, to a series of terrorist attacks, to migrating from a third-world country that is dangerous to live in, any experience can transform a lifestyle forever. The earthquake that took place occurred in Fukushima, Japan in March of 2011 took the lives of 15,894 people, as well as leaving 6,156 injured and 2,546 missing. This monstrous disaster unleashed a raging tsunami that wiped out the east coast of Japan. The tsunami

Mexico’s Earthquake; A Tragic Natural Disaster “An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another.” (Wald). The earthquake is one of the most dangerous events than can happen in the world, with the past of the time, the scientists are trying to create an artifact that could help to detect when an earthquake happen and what could be the magnitude and effects that could occur. In this time the technology has too many benefits but by the moment there isn’t an

The Skyscraper in Flames It was a blazing hot day in New York, and 9-year-old Will and his brothers had just arrived. The long trip from Colorado had worn them out. Sitting in a train on a hot, sweaty day wasn't their idea of fun, but that was exactly what they had done. While their parents had to go to work they went to see their cousins for a week. Will, however, thought that going to the brand-new water park was the solution to all of their problems. "Come on! Let's go

dramatically shift in my thinking, and make me to strongly realize what I have to do for now. There was the devastating natural disaster happened in the North east of Japan on March 11, 2011, and confirmed death counts over 30,000. It was the biggest earthquake in the history of Japan. I could not even say a word when I watched the news that Tsunami swiped whole city away, and it killed tons of guiltiness people right away. I cannot really remember what I felt because my brain went a complete blank at
