Every population in the world experienced disasters at a certain time with little and sometimes no warning. Adequate preparation and training are necessary to ensure optimal outcomes‚ whether the disaster is natural or a human made. Preparation for disasters must include conducting a comprehensive assessment of systems‚ risks‚ and resources available. Essential human services can be interrupted for significant amounts of time despite the type of disaster. That can produce exceptional needs and placing

TSUNAMI Tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water‚ typically an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices)‚ landslides‚ glacier calving’s meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami are devastating. They are one of the world’s worst natural disasters that

Series of vibrations induced in the earth’s crust by the abrupt rupture and rebound of rocks in which elastic strain has been slowly accumulating. The earth is made up of tectonic plates these are massive slabs of rock floating on magma ‚as the plates move about‚ they spread apart‚ collide‚ or slide past each other‚ This is the main cause of volcanoes and earthquakes Earthquakes occur in many regions all over the world in some regions they occur more frequently and severely than in others (depending on the location)‚

Introduction Various disasters like earthquake‚ landslides‚ volcanic eruptions‚ fires‚ flood and cyclones are natural hazards that kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and property each year. The rapid growth of the world’s population and its increased concentration often in hazardous environment has escalated both the frequency and severity of natural disasters. With the tropical climate and unstable land forms‚ coupled with deforestation‚ unplanned growth proliferation

There are other tremors that can cause an earthquake‚ for instance‚ nuclear bombs. These cannot be considered as earthquakes‚ as they are not naturally triggered (Coffey‚ 2010). The earthquake can be grouped into three stages. There is the foreshock‚ which come first. These can be termed as tremors that are slight and may‚ or may not cause a lot of effects on the ground. The foreshocks are then followed by the mainshock. The mainshock is the most disastrous. The main shock is later followed by the aftershock

What are tsunamis‚ and how can we decrease deaths among the human population? Tsunamis are created when underwater tectonic plates rub up against each other creating potential energy and then when they shift‚ the potential energy turns into kinetic energy which create a very fast wave. Geoscience helps us to better understand them through many ways. Once a tsunami starts‚ they won’t stop because of all the energy but there are ways to warn people about them through the uses of geoscience. First

2004 Boxing Day Tsunami 1. Explain the causes of the 2004 boxing day Tsunami (6) A Tsunami forms when energy from an earthquake vertically jolts the seabed by several metres‚ displacing hundreds of cubic kilometres of water. Large waves begin moving through the ocean‚ away from the earthquakes epicentre. In deep water the Tsunami moves at great speeds. When it reaches shallow water near coastal areas‚ the Tsunami slows but increases in height. Before the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 the waterline
