EARTHQUAKES What is earthquake? • the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves. • the earthquakes are measured by magnitudes • caused mostly by rupture of geological faults, but also by other events • such as volcanic activity, landslides, mine blasts, and nuclear tests • earthquakes manifest themselves by shaking and sometimes displacement of the ground Japan earthquake 2011 • 9.03 magnitude undersea megathrust earthquake • Triggered powerful tsunami waves • After the World War ll the most difficult crisis for Japan Luzon earthquake 1990 • 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Philippines How to be Prepared • Electricity, water, gas and telephones may not be working • You'll need food and water During an earthquake

property. It also has great erosive power and can be extremely destructive, even if it is a foot high. A tsunami (pronounced sue-nahm-ee) is a series of huge waves that can cause great devastation and loss of life when they strike a coast. Tsunamis are caused by an underwater earthquake, a volcanic eruption, an sub-marine rockslide, or, more rarely, by an asteroid or meteoroid crashing into in the water from space. Most tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, but not all underwater earthquakes cause tsunamis - an earthquake has to be over about magnitude 6.75 on the Richter scale for it to cause a tsunami. About 90 percent of all tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean. Many tsunamis could be detected before they hit land, and the loss of life could be minimized, with the use of modern technology, including seismographs (which detect earthquakes), computerized offshore buoys that can measure changes in wave height, and a system of sirens on the

The disaster agency said that volcano had spewed millions of cubic meters of debris into the air. Breathing was painful, because ash hung so thickly in the air. 3. Scientists have discovered how lava dome volcanoes erupt and thanks to that they can predict how volcanic eruption will behave. They have discoverd that frictional melting helps predict how a vulcano will erupt. Frictional melting generates stick-slip process what causes rhythmic small earthquakes. Frictional melting takes place when large tectonic earthquakes occur. The ultimate goal is to start predicting when or where vulcano is going to start erupting. Voc. 1.

America and one of the largest Chinese communities outside Asia. In addition to it being a starting point and home for thousands of Chinese immigrants, it is also a major tourist attraction. Geography San Francisco is famous for its hills. There are over 50 hills within city limits. The tallest hill is Mount Davidson. It's 925 feet (282 m) high. The nearby San Andreas and Hayward Faults are responsible for much earthquake activity. The San Andreas Fault caused the earthquakes in 1906 and 1989. Minor earthquakes occur on a regular basis. Climate San Francisco has cool and dry summers, wet and mild winters. San Francisco's weather is strongly influenced by the cool currents of the Pacific Ocean. The high hills in the geographic center of the city are responsible for a 20% variance in annual rainfall between different parts of the city.

the scenery. The canyon was created by the Colorado River cutting a channel over millions of years, and is about 277 miles (446 km) long, ranges in width from 4 to 18 miles (6 to 29 km) and attains a depth of more than 1 mile (1.6 km). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut through layer after layer of sediment as the Colorado Plateau uplifted. Generally, Arizona is at low risk of earthquakes, except for the southwestern portion which is at moderate risk due to its proximity to Southern California. On the other hand, Northern Arizona is at moderate risk due to numerous faults in the area. The regions that are at lowest risk in the state are near and west of Phoenix. The earliest Arizona earthquakes were recorded at Fort Yuma, on the California side of the Colorado River. They were centered near the Imperial Valley, or Mexico, back in the 1800s. In

Nuclear power produces around 11% of the world's energy needs, and produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel, without the pollution that you would get from burning fossil fuels. Nuclear power costs about the same as coal, so it's not expensive to make. Although not much waste is produced, it is very, very dangerous. It must be sealed up and buried for many thousands of years. For all that time it must be kept safe from earthquakes, flooding, terrorists and everything else. This is difficult. Nuclear power is reliable, but a lot of money has to be spent on safety - if it does go wrong, a nuclear accident can be a major disaster. One of the most feared disadvantages of nuclear energy is the potential for weapons. Each year, every nuclear reactor is capable of making enough plutonium to build over thirty nuclear bombs. Nuclear plants must be secured well enough to prevent this material from falling into the wrong hands.

Estonia is the place where i live and i like to live in here. There are many reasons why i like to live in Estonia, but the main reason is that the Estonia is naturally great place where to live. Estonia has got very beatiful nature where we can go hiking or fishing. There are many great places wich you can visit in nature. In nature you can do a lot of things. It also attrackts many tourists. Estonia is also naturally quiet place, in here we don´t have volcanoes, earthquakes, tornadoes or other dangerous natural phenomenas. So we don´t have to worry about that in one beautiful day our house fly away by tornado or volcano burns it down. People don´t have to live in fear and in here they dont mus´t worry about natural disasters. Other good thing is that we don´t have dangerous or poisonous wild animals in nature. So we don´t need worry about that a monkey jumps trough our window and arranges a big mess or wild animal attacks people
All of these things are dangerous for animals as they live in the forests. People do not care about the nature and they are not aware of the risks. Although these figures are depressing, things have improved recently. Scientists are aware that the Earth is getting warmer and they are trying to make things better, also more information is given out so that people can be ready for serious disasters. One good thing is that developed countries are willing to help countries that survive earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters. To sum up, we cannot avoid global warming or natural disasters, but we can be prepared if the information is given out. This subject is really important and should be discussed more. To make the situation better everybody should think about this and try to figure out what they can do.

TSUNAMI Kristjan Sillaots G1R2 WHAT IS TSUNAMI? A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that sends surges of water, sometimes reaching heights of over 100 feet (30.5 meters), onto land. These walls of water can cause widespread destruction when they crash ashore. WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? These awe-inspiring waves are typically caused by large, undersea earthquakes at tectonic plate boundaries. When the ocean floor at a plate boundary rises or falls suddenly, it displaces the water above it and launches the rolling waves that will become a tsunami. WHAT CAUSES A TSUNAMI? Tsunamis may also be caused by underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions. They may even be launched, as they frequently were in Earth’s ancient past, by the impact of a large meteorite plunging into an ocean.

and contain all the whirlpools in the expansive oceans of our world. Speaking of worlds, we come to our last natural disaster: meteors. These missiles from space are sent, by some unknown force, hurtling through space into our planet. Often these meteoroids are burned away by our own natural meteor defence, the atmosphere. But sometimes, the atmosphere is not enough to defeat these icy space boulders, and they will come crashing into Earth causing destruction on a worldwide scale. Earthquakes and tidal waves are being released upon the world to wreak havoc are often the after effects. The Earth's winds also carry the dust, sent into the sky from impact, across the globe. This dust can become so thick that it blocks out the sun, killing off all life on the planet. But, for a counterweight to the meteors, humans are nearing completion of a worldwide tactical nuclear missile strike system, able to easily destroy any incoming meteoroids. Though this will also

Classical mythology. The building ceased to be used for entertainment in the early medieval era. It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.It has been estimated that about 500,000 people and over a million wild animals died in the Colosseum games.Although in the 21st century it stays partially ruined due to damage caused by devastating earthquakes and stone- robbers, the Colosseum is an iconic symbol of Imperial Rome and its breakthrough achievements in earthquake engineering. It is one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions and still has close connections with the Roman Catholic Church, as each Good Friday the Pope leads a torchlit "Way of the Cross" procession to the amphitheatre.[5]The Colosseum is also depicted on the Italian version of the five-cent euro coin.

4.1 Expressing a strong opinion In my opinion, fashion is a complete waste of time, money and resources. In my opinion, there's only one choice - English! In my view, government money shouldn't be used to support the Arts. In my reckoning, if we could lock up juvenile criminals, they'd learn that they couldn't get away with it. I strongly believe in preventing problems before they happen. In much the same way as the Japanese prepare for earthquakes, countries with dry climates could have water catchment systems and reservoirs to defend against water shortage. I definitely think that countries should be self-sufficient in food and basic necessities. Don't you think it's better to stay single? Well, if you ask me, it all depends on your circumstances. Well, I think everybody should have the right to join a trade union. 4.2 Expressing a strong value ( It's / They're + value adjective)

Maavärinad ja nende poolt maailmas tekitatud kahjud aastatel 2000 – 2011 Marko Meimer Audentese e-gümnaasium Tallinn, 2013 Miks ja kuidas tekivad maavärinad? Teadlane S. Richter on kindlaks teinud, et 90% kõigist maavärinatest on seotud mäestike tekkega Vaikse ookeani ümber ning Vahemere mäestikuvööndis. Maapinnal on kohti, kus ei möödu päevagi ilma märgatavate maa-aluste tõugeteta. Ent enamikus maailma paigus esineb maavärinaid suhteliselt harva. Maa sisemuse pidev liikumine paneb Maa värisema, võpatama ja võnkuma. Kord on tõuked nõrgad, kord tugevad. Pinna- ja sügavtõuked häirivad maakoort. Need nn. tektoonilised liikumised põhjustavadki maavärinaid. Maavärinaga ei kaasne ainult üks tõuge. Peatõukele eelneb eeltõuge ja järgnevad järeltõuked. Kohta, kus maavärin tekkis nimetatakse maav...

Because of the valuable fisheries and fur trade, a conflict developed between the French and English; in 1713, Newfoundland, Hudson Bay, and Nova Scotia (Acadia) were lost to England. During the Seven Years' War (17561763), England extended its conquest, and the British general James Wolfe won his famous victory over Gen. Louis Montcalm outside Quebec on Sept. 13, 1759. The Treaty of Paris in 1763 gave England control. Nature: Canada is also geologically active, having many earthquakes and potentially active volcanoes. The volcanic eruption of Tseax Cone in 1775 caused a catastrophic disaster, killing 2,000 Nisga'a people and the destruction of their village in the Nass River valley of northern British Columbia; the eruption produced a 22.5-kilometre (14.0 mi) lava flow, and according to legend of the Nisga'a people, it blocked the flow of the Nass River. As of 2008, there are 36 National Parks and six National Park Reserves.
Maavärinad http://www.gi.ee/geomoodulid/ Koostanud Ülle Liiber Maavärina tagajärjed Islandil Maavärinad • 20. sajandil täiustusid seismiliste lainete mõõtmisvahendid ja hakati rohkem seismograafe kasutama maavärinate registreerimiseks. • Üleilmne seismojaamade võrk rajati 1960. aastatel, mis võimaldas registreerida kõik maavärinad. •Tänu sellele selgus, et suurem osa maavärinaid toimub vaid teatud piirkondades – peamiselt laamade äärealadel. Maavärinate esinemispiirkonnad 1954. aastal avaldas prantsuse seismoloog J.P. Rothé sellise kaardi, kus on näidatud maavärinate peamised esinemisalad.

west. The Appalachians run parallel to the Atlantic coast from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada; the highest peak is 2000 m high. The Cordilleras run along the Pacific coast with the Sierra Nevada in the south and the Rocky Mountains in the north; the highest peak is Mt. Whitney (4,540 m) in the Sierra Nevada. The Cordilleras are still an active region of the Earth. There are a number of active volcanoes there and often earthquakes shake the land. Hot springs and geysers are numerous in Yellowstone. Between the mountains there are many canyons. The most famous of them is probably the Grand Canyon. The highest peak in America is Mt. McKinley with its 6194m. The lowest point is the Death Valley - 86m. Between the mountains are the central lowlands called the prairie and eastern lowlands called the Mississippi valley. One of the most famous mountains in the USA is Mount Rushmore in South
The city was razed to the ground by the earthquake and the subsequent tsunami and ensuing fires. Sebastião de Melo survived by a stroke of luck and then immediately embarked on rebuilding the city, with his famous quote: "What now? We bury the dead and take care of the living."Despite the calamity and huge death toll, Lisbon suffered no epidemics and within less than one year was already be ing rebuilt. The new downtown of Lisbon was designed to resist subsequent earthquakes. Architectural models were built for tests, and the effects of an earthquake were simulated by marching troops around the models. The buildings and big squares of the Pombaline Downtown still remain as one of Lisbon's tourist attractions. Sebastião de Melo also made an important contribution to the study of seismology by designing an inquiry that was sent to every parish in the country. Following the earthquake, Joseph I gave his Prime Minister even more power, and Sebastião

bigger with a lot of energy inside them. Physics of wave energy To have a better understanding of the technical possibilities to harvest the energy out of waves to convert it into electric energy it may be helpful to have a look onto the physics of wave formation, the forces which attack and the characteristics of water waves. Wave formation There are three different momentum responsible for the formation of waves. The moon, earthquakes and wind in variable intensities. Energy of waves vs. period and responsible momentum 2 Three forces to attack the waves There are three forces that are responsible for wave formation. Two of them (gravitational force and Coriolis force) are supporting the formation, one of them (surface tension) reduces the high of waves. At first the gravitational force: This one out of four forces in physics is dominant for wave generation

Most geothermal reservoirs are deep underground with no visible clues showing above ground. 43 Geothermal energy can sometimes find its way to the surface in the form of: · volcanoes and fumaroles (holes where volcanic gases are released) · hot springs and · geysers. Picture 13.2. Ring of fire The most active geothermal resources are usually found along major plate boundaries where earthquakes and volcanoes are concentrated. Most of the geothermal activity in the world occurs in an area called the Ring of Fire. This area rims the Pacific Ocean. When magma comes close to the surface it heats ground water found trapped in porous rock or water running along fractured rock surfaces and faults. Such hydrothermal resources have two common ingredients: water (hydro) and heat (thermal). Naturally occurring large areas of hydrothermal resources are called geothermal reservoirs.
