Tsunamis are some of the most powerful and deadliest piece of nature. Within history, you may recall the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2011 Japan Tsunami. The Indian Ocean tsunami happened after a massive earthquake hit somewhere south of the Indian Ocean. The energy from the earthquake itself released more than every single explosive that was detonated in world war 2 including the nuclear bombs. The earthquake caused Tsunamis all the way up to 30 meters high. The wave smashed into Indonesia

Tsunami is huge masses of water that are caused by a variety of processes. The water very often surges violently on to the land after traveling enormous distances across the oceans. They are some of the most powerful and deadliest forces of nature. Within recent history, you may recall the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Japan Tsunami. To understand tsunami well we must consider two main issues: their causes and their effects. The Indian Ocean tsunami happened after a massive earthquake hit

Natural disasters are a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth, and man-made disasters are influenced by humans and they are often as a result of negligence and human error among the factors. There is long-term physical and psychological reaction of people from both disasters. Tsunamis, Hurricanes, and Landslides are some examples of natural disasters. On the other hand, Gas leaks, fire accidents, and oil spills are some examples for man-made disaster. They both have a

abundance in the Chesapeake Bay, however today fishermen are struggling to bring in a bountiful harvest due to the level of pollution. The east coast heavily depends on the food able to be harvested from the Chesapeake Bay. Travel is also a major reason people embark upon the Bay with its easy access to various locations. Humans have over crabbed and overfished the bay seizing chances for the species to replenish themselves. Another problem is the aptly titled dead zones in the bay which is due to excess

Scene in Fig. 1.1., the Chesapeake Bay is substantial in size; at roughly 64,000 miles, it contains roughly fifty rivers and thousands of streams and creeks. It encompasses parts of 6 states, including all of Washington, DC. The Chesapeake Bay is what is known as a watershed, an area that contributes to the drainage to a water body, stream, river, lake or ocean. Rainwater that falls within the 64,000 square miles that is the Chesapeake Bay will subsequently travel through many streams and rivers

Diversity and abundance of scavenger species in seagrass beds in comparison to intertidal flat zonations in estuarine environments. Introduction Scavenger species that live in estuarine environments, are organisms that niche in the trophic structure just before detritivores. The energy and nutrients broken down, is then passed back into the ecosystem, where the detritivores further complete the breakdown process of organic matter. They are opportunists when it comes to their diet, scrounging

control the diurnal variation in salinity and water level in both the seasons (Figure 8c & 8d). Moreover, moderate winds could have affected salinity and water level above the tidal-height either by pushing river-water towards the bay or by introducing shelf-water into the bay (e.g. black boxes in Figure 8) (Huang et al. 2002a; Huang et al. 2002b). Dry Bar and Cat Point salinity stations were located close to river mouth (Figure 1); however, they showed considerable variations in salinity during the

Two specific regions that many historians tend to articulate about. Consisting of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire, the New England region presents many intriguing ways of achieving their goals. Likewise, the Chesapeake Bay, which contain Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and part of South Carolina, also have their own ways of achieving different goals. While many focus on the differences of each region, others focus on the similarities that each of the regions possess
