    Miami Earthquake Research Paper

    Both earthquakes shared very high magnitudes of 9.1-9.3 and 9.1. The Japan earthquake was situated in northeast Japan whereas the Indian Ocean earthquake was located west of Sumatra, Indonesia. Similarly, both earthquakes’ focus was at a shallow depth of 30km. Also the two earthquakes were the result of converging plates. Although both earthquakes caused tsunamis, the Indian Ocean earthquakes’ tsunami was three times taller than the Japan tsunami having 30m high tidal waves. Also many buildings collapsed due to both earthquakes high magnitudes. Unlike the Indian earthquake, Japan experienced nuclear meltdown at the Daiichi power plants causing dangerous radioactive material to be released. There was a dramatic difference in death rates with Sumatra having over 230, 000 deaths compared to Japan with only 15, 000. This may have been because Sumatra is a third world country and there may have not have been as much medical support as Japan and also the magnitude and tsunami was much bigger. The estimated repair cost for the Japan is 567 billion dollars in repairs compared to Sumatra with only 4 billion dollars in repairs. This is evident when the amount of buildings destroyed in Japan was 1.2 million whereas Sumatra estimated only 141, 000 buildings…

    Country Analysis- India

    India functions on a democratic system, which heavily influences the political situation of the country. However, this democracy stems from a caste system. A caste system is a social grouping that combines a group of particular members based on specific professions and usually leads to the isolation of each individual caste. The Indian people adopted the caste system to create an easy differentiation of communities and neighborhoods. Recently in India there has been a relaxing of the caste system depending on the part of India in which you are looking. In the cities you will see more of an intermingling and mix of the higher caste systems but as you explore the rural areas, you find a traditional form of the caste system. In recent years India has become the largest democracy in the world. The economy is highly affected by the political situation in India. The country suffers from high unemployment and poverty as two of its main issues that currently influence the economic standing of the country. With two opposing parties with vastly different views for the vision of the economy the country is found being pulled for a free market economy and an economy that strongly opposes globalization and favors a “land-for-all” attitude. (“Politics of India”) In India the legal situation highly resembles a common law model that is found in England today but is clout with Indian culture. In the courts India has a judge that acts as a neutral party that enforces the law fairly amongst each party. The government too has three branches: the executive, the judiciary and the legislative. The courts hold a common theme of carrying out justice to the people. (Srikrishna)…
