The concluding part of the Cleveland Way leaves the hustle and bustle of Scarborough behind and returns us to the more enjoyable cliff paths. The coastal scenery is stunning, and with just over 500 feet (152m) of ascent remaining we can appreciate the closing miles and reflect on some of the more memorable experiences of our journey. Resuming from the harbour, we continue along the seafront around the South Bay to the Spa Complex. In 1626 Elizabeth Farrer, the wife of one of Scarborough’s…

Definition Lahars also called mudflows contain fusion of water and consolidated particles of gravel, ice, wood, and other fragments that flow from volcanoes are distinct, prompt, and gravity-induced outflows of drenched, high-consolidation mixtures.(Vallance, 2000) Types Primary lahars These are generated amidst outbursts by numerous eruption-related activities. Such lahars wiped out almost 37,451 people all over the world between AD 1600 and 2010. The Nevado del Ruiz disaster in 1985 caused…

While all the land and islands are quite tall, the middle of the plate, that is mostly sea, is much more deep in some areas than others. Around the Yucatan Peninsula, Central America, and all the islands are gradual slopes that gain more depth the further from land-above-sea-level you get, however, from Honduras and Nicaragua to Jamaica, where there should be deeper sea, there is quite a lot of height but…

My grandmother was personally affected by the earthquake that occurred in the morning of September 19th in Mexico. When she got home she got to witness the aftermath with her own eyes. The walls of her home had been cracked, her glass arrangements had been destroyed, and her outside porch was basically broken in half. There are many other cases like this, and the image shows just one area out of the many that were affected. It uses colors, ethos, pathos, and logos instead of using words to…

Tsunamis can move really fast, they can move at a rate of 100 mph and smash the shore with massive waves as high as 120 feet or more. From where the area of the tsunamis originate waves travel outward in all directions. When the wave reaches the shore it can build in height. The topography of the coastline and the ocean floor will influence…
