stop the use of fracking because it can cause earthquakes, puts the public at risk, lowers the quality of life for people near fracking grounds, and pollutes the environment. In Western Canada there have been many earthquakes directly related to fracking. When the fracking fluid and sand are pumped into the ground at high pressure it causes the quakes. When it is pumped into porous ground it eats away at the ground and causes cavities that cause earthquakes. Also when the fracking fluid is left…

decide which side you will be on. Evidence that is for animals can predict is from this article is a quote by seismologist Roger Musson: “there are several possible reasons for behavioral changes in animals before an earthquake...animals can sense weak shocks prior to an earthquake that are imperceptible to humans.” On the other side of the argument there is evidence from seismologist that what Roger Musson says cannot be true: “According to seismologists,…

The current earth’s atmosphere is made up of Nitrogen (N2), Oxygen (O2) and a small amount of other gases. However the early earth which was formed 4.5 billion years ago was made up of Ammonia (NH4) and Carbon Dioxide (Co2). 4 billion years ago the world was covered with volcanos. The volcanoes released Carbon Dioxide (CO2) methane (CH4) and water vapour. The oxygen levels were 0.000%, also meaning no oxygen. 3.2 billion Years ago life of bacteria was forming and increasing. This made food by…

Differences Between Natural and Manmade Hazards Hazards exist everywhere and all the time. Hazards come in many forms and sizes and affects people in different ways.

Natural hazards branches into three categories and they are atmospheric, hydrologic, and geologic. Manmade hazards or also known as technological hazards…

Urbanization is a complex spatial process that converts rural land uses to urban uses, and causes various impacts on ecosystem structures, function, dynamics, and the livelihoods of human beings. It is expected that by 2030, there will be 2 billion new urban residents. The study also suggests that 90 percent of urban growth is taking place in developing world. A largely rural country, with only 17 percent of the population living in urban areas (Nepal census, 2011), Nepal is urbanizing rapidly.…

recovery progress; discusses global warming and climate change in relation to the prevalence and increased likelihood of earthquakes, and other extreme weather events in Haiti; and references several successes and failures regarding international humanitarian response efforts and monetary donations, in order to determine why Haiti has failed to recovery five years after the earthquake disaster. The ultimate goal of this research study is to improve strategic global emergency and disaster…

The Earth is a birthplace for incredible natural disasters. These are earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes to name just a few.

To better understand volcanoes this essay will touch on…
