    L Aquila Earthquake Research Paper

    A. Before the L'Aquila earthquake in 2009 people were starting to prepare for a earthquake but not a 6.3 earthquake. However, there was miscommunication between the scientist and the people of L'Aquila. Since earthquakes are the hardest natural disaster to predict, nothing is always 100 percent accurate. The seismologist involved with the making of predictions did not want to scare the people and make them prepare for an earthquake that was not going to come, when the seismologist were not even postie of the earthquake coming.…

    Earthquakes In Caascadia

    Studies of past subduction earthquakes are inexact things, based on finding their geologic signs: sudden changes of elevation that drown coastal forests, disturbances in ancient tree rings, buried beds of beach sand washed far inland and so on. Twenty-five years of research has determined that Big Ones affect Cascadia, or large parts of it, every few centuries. Times between events range from 200 to about 1000 years, and the average is around 500 years. The most recent Big One is rather well dated, although no one in Cascadia at the time could write. It occurred around 9 p.m. on 26 January 1700.…

    South Carolina Earthquake

    Last week Meteorologists predicted the category three Hurricane, Joaquin, to make landfall hitting the Carolina’s. Gratefully it never made landfall, but unfortunately the Carolina’s received trillions of gallons of rain from the hurricane. Florence County flooded very badly; streets resembled Miniature Rivers, golf-courses looked like The Rapids, bridges were completely washed out, homes completely flooded, people were being evacuated, etc. Last Thursday night the rain started, it was unlike a regular thunder-storm that we usually experience in South Carolina. The rain was heavier than normal and it felt like the rain was all coming down at one time, the wind was abnormally stronger, and it stayed constant throughout the night.…

This earthquake led to a deadly tsunami. It became the fourth-largest earthquake (since 1900).The tsunami caused nuclear accidents, primarily the level 7 meltdowns in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant complex, and the associated evacuation zones affecting hundreds of thousands of residents. Many electrical generators were taken down, and at least three nuclear reactors suffered explosions due to hydrogen gas that had built up within their outer containment buildings after cooling system failure resulting from the loss of electrical power.…

Similarly and more recently the 2010 Haiti Earthquake was a reminder of the awe-inspiring damage natural disasters like earthquakes can do. The 2010 Haiti Earthquake is also an excellent reminder of what kind of harm earthquakes can do if the community effect is ill prepared. This may be a very important reminder to many Americans in states typically not known for earthquakes.…

    The San Andreas: Movie Analysis

    Crucially, the film exaggerates the apocalyptic phenomenon, as the earthquake hits California and the tsunami destroys the whole city. My final argument on San Andreas film is to redefine a key concept of the environmental disaster by showing a prediction for our future, post-apocalypse. By all accounts, San Andreas is not a real earthquake in California and it will not happen in the future as extreme as those in the movie, however the film points out that the earthquake is likely to occur on the San Andreas or any other major faults around the world at any…
