Tsunami warning system

Rogue waves and tsunamis are two strong forces that occur in the ocean. The way they form and their features are alike and different in many ways. Rogue waves and tsunamis both form in the ocean but form in different ways. Tsunamis can form in multiple ways. In source 2 it says, Tsunamis can form from earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides on the ocean floor. Large meteorites can cause tsunamis when they hit the water. When tsunamis hit shallow water its acts as a ramp pushing the water up…

In can be seen from the above that the key to an earthquake-resistant building is strength and flexibility in the materials and structure, and of course the quality of the materials used is important. That is why earthquakes in parts of the world where houses are built in stone, such as North Africa, Nepal and Iran, are so deadly.” An 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile killed more than 700 people, whereas in Haiti, a less powerful earthquake measuring 7.0, killed more than 200,000.” (Imagination…

The Caribbean tectonic plate has a wide variety of height and depth within its borders. 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…

The Boxing Day tsunami was a tragic event. Occurring December 24, 2004 an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.1 released a huge vibration that lasted 10 minutes; causing the Indian Ocean to draw back. Boxing Day defined by Dictionary.com, is, “(in Britain) the first weekday after Christmas, when Christmas gifts or boxes are given to employees, letter carriers, etc.” Though it was supposed to be an exciting day in places like Thailand and India it soon changed into a nightmare. With more than…

form rift valleys. Transform boundaries slide, and convergent boundaries collide.Eventually, the stress builds up and once it’s released it sends out seismic waves being sent out which produces an earthquake. Once this earthquake has hit Japan a tsunami follows. Sometimes an earthquake can even make an active volcano build up more pressure and explode.Plate boundaries is also where volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. Earthquakes are vibrations in the ground that result from different faults,…

before and during the tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011 in Japan. An earthquake is a release of stress that is located in the earth’s interior. The earthquake is activated when there is a quick movement over a fault causing the tectonic plates to shift (Rothery, D, 1997, p.31, 33, 42, 44). The very strange events occurring in Japan included strange animal behavior recorded, many beaching incidents in and around japan, the destruction, and the scientific studies of this Tsunami. The tragedy…

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…

make the boundary between the North American and the Pacific plate. Paragraph B During the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake a lot of buildings and properties were destroyed. The earthquake caused a tsunami and many landslides that destroyed Valdez, Anchorage, and Seward. The earthquake caused the tsunami by making a part of the seafloor elevate. Eventually, because of the earthquake the town of Valdez was moved because it was not stable. This killer quake was so strong that it released twice…

The case study I choose to work with was United States v. Juvenile Male. According to the study the juvenile male, R.P. identified himself as an adult the at the point of arrest. However, that was determined to be incorrect by the dispatcher when the Federal Border Patrol ran his information. R.P.’s date of birth was 1/1/1989. Around 1700 on the November 19, 2006 R.P. was detained for what at that time was believed to be smuggling of aliens into the US. At 0000 on November 20,2006 R.P. was read…

1. OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE: While traveling in the vicinity of Hurffville and Cooper Street, I was dispatched to a motor vehicle complaint. County Dispatch advised the vehicle was a sedan, marron in color. Dispatch also advised the caller was behind the vehicle at the Heritages and it was travelling towards the firehouse on Cooper St. I started my way towards the caller’s location, when I observed the vehicle passing Jones Ave, on the wrong side of the road. I activated my…
