The first wave hardly killed anyone, but it killed all technology, electricity, and only a half a million people. The second wave caused not so natural, natural disasters. Metal rods were dropped from the top of Earth's atmosphere which caused tsunami waves and earthquakes. These wiped out many coastal cities, where
Natural disasters leave people scared and lonely like fish stranded without water to survive. Rogue waves and tsunamis are both huge, deleterious, and life threatening natural disasters. The two storms are practically unpredictable and cause great destruction wherever they strike. Although rogue waves and tsunamis seem alike on the surface, when diving deep into the information about them, one can see just how different they are.
A tsunami is a series of great sea waves caused by an underwater earthquake, landslide or volcanic eruption. A tsunami is a series of many waves known as wave trains. A tsunami can also be generated by a giant meteor. Most tsunamis are known to be formed by underwater earthquakes.
Natural disasters like floods, in mountains floods can result in heavy rain or sudden snow melts. Fires, can be started by lightning, human carelessness, or arson, and can spread very rapidly. Winter storms; you need to pay attention to weather forecasts in your area and stay at home if possible until roads are clear, downed electrical wires are cleared, and services restore. Hurricanes and tornadoes, West Virginia is not a typical hurricane or a tornado path, however, very high wind sometimes with heavy rain, can create emergency conditions. As said in
In this upcoming weekend, Hurricane Irma is predicted to make landfall in Southern Florida. The category five hurricane is bring 175-mph wind, with huge amounts of rain and storm surges. This storm has already hit hard the Caribbean Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Three people have already died in the Virgin Islands and three more in Puerto Rico. the death toll will continue to rise once the rubble can be removed.
“Of the affected countries, more than half of the ≈300,000 deaths occurred in the Aceh Province of Indonesia, close to the epicenter of the earthquake near northern Sumatra. Infrastructure, including medical and laboratory facilities, in this region was severely damaged.” According to the quote, after the Tsunami passed and was making its way towards Kenya and Hawaii, it left millions of people injured and dead. 300,000 people died just in the Aceh Province,
Whereas, during a natural disaster it may be difficult to gain access to such resources and therefore, some people can be facing this issue for the first time in their lives. Which can result in conflict and lawlessness taking place. For instance, if a natural disaster was to occur in a less developed country such as Afghanistan, the citizens would not be in a sudden shock if they no longer has access to electricity or any other issues since poverty is issue in the country and they have already adapted into living and surviving in such living conditions that may occur during a natural disaster. However, if such was to occur in Ottawa then it would be a completely different situation since many people might be feeling helplessness and panic due to living
Compare and Contrast Screaming, crying, and frantically searching for their young. These are all triggered from disasters. There are man-made disasters and natural disasters, and the most destructive ones are from the earth itself. In the article “Super Disasters”, the tragic Hurricane Katrina’s, earthquake in China’s, and the tsunami in Indonesia’s causes and effects are discussed. The Perfect Storm is an anecdote about a fisherman who who is lost at sea, but due to high winds, much destruction is made.
Disasters are events that not in control - situations which exceed public sector capacities, push societal linkages to a breaking point, and demand extraordinary and selfless behavior from citizens, businesses, communities, and non-governmental organizations. Disasters arguably have their most sorrowful impact at the level of the individual, where crises of natural and technical variety undermine the comfort and stability people feel and leave them hurt, and looking for direction and meaning in institutions and beliefs larger than themselves. Even when local government officials act heroically, individuals still look to other segments of the public sector, such as non-profit groups or religious organizations, for desperately needed support.
he Great Blizzard of 88 Our natural hazard is blizzards. Blizzards are a severe snowstorm with high winds and low visibility. Blizzards can form when warm air must rise over cold air. There are two ways this can occur when winds pulls cold air toward the equator from the poles and it brings warm air toward the poles from the equator. Cold and warm air brought together forms and precipitation occurs.
Disasters or Hazards (these two terms will interchange throughout this paper) are going to happen. They are both intentional and accidental. Some are caused by nature and others are man-made. There is no way we as a whole, can stop every single hazard out there. Some areas are going to be hit harder by these hazards than others because they are more susceptible to thing than another place might be.
Roughly 6 years ago, 2011 an earth moving quake hit Japan, a tremendous tsunami was triggered and numerous were injured died. What was responsible you may ask? The Pacific Ocean and the North American tectonic plate. A massive amount of energy had been stored for many years and after awhile it needed to be released, as an earthquake. As a result of that earthquake, ocean water was displaced and that created a tsunami.
”hey, the reefs are drying up! there 's fish flopping fish around!”” in meulaboh,before the tsunami hit the reef dried up and groups of people were just standing there looking at the reef and there actually was fish flopping around, but then the tsunami hit and killed all of the tourists that were just standing there.richard Lewis accurately represented the tragedy of the tsunami in Indonesia and added a few characters that made
When there are natural disasters, it usually makes all of the people come together. In “The Quilt of a Country” by Anna Quindlen, She said, “These are the representatives of a mongrel nation that somehow, at times like this, has one spirit.” She said this after the Twin Towers were crashed into, about the people uniting after a horrible disaster. Natural disasters can cause a lot of damage and that is when all of the people came together. When people are in need, everyone comes together to give everyone hope that everything will be okay after the disaster.
They come together and adapt to the new environment changed by the natural disaster. They are able to cope with the loss and change in their environment but for the better change the bond in their community making them stronger and more developed than
