2010 earthquakes

sub-faults in Walker Lane, the Benton Springs fault was the most active with an estimated 2.8 mm/year of slip and a 1.25 meter offset that most probably resulted from a 7.1 magnitude earthquake. Petrified Springs and Gumdrop Hill showed slip rates of 1 mm/year and 0.9 mm/year respectively, both with minimal earthquake activity. Benton Springs is also a much newer fault, with activity beginning much later than the other two faults of Walker

My fellow Americans. A natural disaster has hit the San Francisco area. A category 5 earthquake has destroyed what a lot of you know as home. My self and the first lady extend our deepest sympathy to all of you that’s been affected by this tragedy. I'm speaking to you from San Francisco—a still partly standing, and nearly empty shell of what once was a diverse, proud, and historic city. Today I have signed an emergency funding bill of $1 billion to support recovery efforts that will take effect

University students before and after the devastating Loma-Prieta earthquake. The goal of the study was to see if there was a significant change in their levels of depressions and stress. It was predicted that natural disasters cause a dramatic increase in psychological disorders such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. It’s no secret that those that experience a traumatic natural disaster are subject to psychological distress. Earthquakes, floods, mudslides, and Tsunamis are most likely to cause more

Over the past decade, the world has experienced more natural disaster than people can count. Floods, mudslides, earthquakes, and raging fires are just a few of the events that have stripped people away from their families, homes, and possessions. The deadliest of these natural disasters are hurricanes. Extremely strong winds mixed with large waves can cause enormous damage, taking months, even years for towns to recover. Hurricane Katrina left millions of people without homes and families torn

April 8, 2033. The world and the population as we knew it are gone. It all started 13 years ago when the democratic election of 2020 took place. I was just a novice reporter at the time. During Donald Trump’s speech to become re-elected there was an earthquake that opened up the earth with great magnitude and consumed him and the stage like a hamburger. The earth quickly closed up and he was gone, there were no remnants of him except for his hair. Everyone panicked, the army and the police tried to get

Case 3: On October, 26, 2000, Monterey County, California was the scene of a remarkable phenomenon. According to the reports, in the morning of the incidence, at least two of the major Bay Area radio stations stated that a terrorist group called “the Locos” managed to blast a hole in Lake Nacimiento Dam, causing a deadly wall of water sweeping across the Salinas Valley. The disturbing news caused a wave of panic in the Valley’s residents. Fortunately, it turned out to be a disaster drill that inadvertently

and have had large earthquakes. This causes the ranges to tilt and shift and raised the ranges to higher levels. As far as seismic activity goes, Nevada is the third most active state in the nation. There is an earthquake in Nevada of a 7 or greater approximately once every thirty years. There are strike slip faults in the northwest region of the state. The border of California had what is called Walker Lane. This area

April 18, 1906. The earthquake that lasted just one minute was estimated to be close to 8.0 on the richter scale and was large enough to destroy 30,000 buildings, including her own home, in what was determined to be one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in U.S history. And while Ms.Quinn held out hope that her “City of the Golden West” would restore its nearly 400 million dollars worth of damage (10.8 billion dollars today), an even stronger and largely unknown earthquake rocked the United

There is no real way to stop a natural disaster, but for your own well being it is best to get out of the way to avoid any sort of lose to you or your family. Natural disasters kill around 68,000 people every year, whether it's Tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, or floods. These storms also affect millions more due to the destruction of their homes or belongings. For those who lose their homes you can be left feeling empty because you just lost every, all your belongings gone and you feel as if there

Chapter 3, as well as the article “A Fresh Look at Mount St. Helens” is very interesting. Chapter 3, section 1 covers the Earth as a system, the structure of the Earth, and Earth affects like earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions like the one on May 18th, 1980 in Washington State. Mount St. Helens was once covered with vegetation and small ponds. It has been nearly thirty years since one of the largest eruptions ever observed. The explosion blew the side of Mount St. Helens and lasted nine hours. This
