The Pros and Cons of funding volcano and earthquake consist of many varying factors. The Pros are that you can be warned ahead of time and you can get to safety but that doesn 't mean you can prevent these things from happening. But only with the right supplies, you can be protected from these horrible hazards and you can protect yourself and your family you can also get supplies that way you are prepared for when these things happen. The Cons are that everytime there is a volcano it will be your money collected in tax that pay for our new equipment. Of course the money will be going to a good project but what if the government realizes that the taxes wouldn’t be enough. Then what, then they decide it is alright to tax you extra to pay for equipment that you may not need in your area. These are the cons of funding for volcano and earthquake research. In May 8,1902 about 30,000 people died November 13,1985 around 21,800 people died in October 24,1902 and 6,000 people died in 1909 and 5,500 people died in May 1919 and 5,000 people died in 1919 the same amount of people died as did in 1919 on January 15,1951 3,000 people died on …show more content…
Taking down these natural disasters can help save billions of lives. A volcano eruption can go as far as 101,700 feet or even further a earthquake can go as far as 780 miles away. A earthquake an have different levels of how strong the earthquake is 3-3.9 is Minor 4-4.9 is Light 5-5.9 is Moderate 6-6.9 is Strong 7-7.9 is Major and 8 or more is Great. Without the new ways of tracking down earthquakes then we couldn 't have known if how strong an earthquake can be and how serious we need to be when we find out when and where it is going to hit. The same thing goes with volcanoes with being able to tell how strong it 's going to be that is money well spent even though how expensive it
On March 25, 1911, one of the most deadliest fires in American industrial history occurred at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City. The fire killed about 145 of the factories workers. The deaths could've been prevented easily but, due to not following safety procedures they weren't. The Triangle factory was located in the top three floors of the Asch Building, on the corner of Greene Street and Washington Place, in Manhattan.
On March 25th, 1911, the deadliest tragedy happened in New York City. A rapid fire occurred on the eighth, ninth, and tenth floor of the Asch Building in the lower east side of Manhattan. This caused harm to multiple families as they struggled to identify bodies at the morgue. The buildings doors were locked by managers to protect theft and their was only building escape way for people to escape out of. Most people were trapped in by large machines and there was only a couple buckets of water to try and help extinguish the fire to keep everyone safe.
How often do you think of historical disasters? The Chicago fire of 1871, also called the Great Chicago Fire, burned from October 8th to October 10, 1871, it was probably one of the most dangerous and is still one of the most important historical disasters that has happened to Chicago. Thousands of buildings were destroyed due to the fact that in that time period almost everything was made out of wood. The fire had made thousands of people homeless.
From Old to New The article ‘The Really Big One’ written by Kathryn Schulz discusses the Cascadia Subduction Zone and its threat to the people of the Pacific Northwest. She uses the article to inform the public of how the zone was discovered, how devastating the earthquakes and tsunamis will be in this zone, and how most of the Pacific Northwest is not prepared for this zone to erupt. After Schulz article was published, it became a well known across the nation. Everyone who read the article became scared at the thought of this impending doom.
Juneau is in a very unique situation. The city faces multiple geologic processes that could be dangerous. These processes can be very hazardous. Some of the hazards the city faces avalanches, earthquakes, heavy snow, landslides, and tsunamis. Although the city faces regular avalanches and the possibility of landslides the town’s major hazard is earthquakes.
Although the report released by Lawson provided insight about earthquake occurrence, it cannot help scientists and geologists to accurately predict when the next earthquake will occur. However, with advanced monitoring systems and computing power may help in better preparation of future earthquakes. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake brought geologists and scientists together and led to an understanding of earthquakes; how they occur, why they occur and how the world can prevent and manage such disasters in
San Francisco, California has experienced fourteen earthquakes above a magnitude above 5.1 since 1836. The earthquakes of 1865 and 1906 both brought on varying forms of destruction. Twain, writing about the earthquake of 1865, found amusement and humor in the devastating event; while London only saw the destruction and loss in the earthquake of 1906. To inform and to entertain are, respectively, Jack London’s and Mark Twain’s purposes in writing about the two different earthquakes that struck San Francisco. Both writers experienced the earthquakes’ destruction first-hand, but had very different interpretations of it.
Around 50% of people got sick. You had a better chance at getting sick than dying. Then people started to become immune to the sickness and sickness numbers did not rise as high. In
This idea was a big change from one dollar to millions of dollars but she is right, it would be a great alternative for the state of Hawaii and the Hawaiian people because then we would receive some type of restitution. Kahea.org says if this idea of rent being $45 - $50 million per year was installed long ago, we would be have roughly around $500,000,000 from the past 10 years for the state to use. This money could be used to help pave roads, create recreational centers for communities, build libraries, fund schools better, etc; with $500,000,000 dollars the whole entire state of Hawaii benefits from Mauna Kea. In other words if the Hawaiians take one for the team (allow telescopes to be built on top of Mauna Kea) then everybody such as the scientific community and the people of the state of Hawaii get benefits. Another way Kahea.org says the money could be used for is that it could fund the University of Hilo’s whole budget.
There are many natural disasters that affect the world, for example, volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is known to be the most active volcano in the Cascade Range in Washington; effecting the people and the state. It was first recognized as a volcano in 1835! Before the eruption on May 18,1980, Mount St. Helens was a beautiful symmetrical cone, 3,000 meters above sea level. For most of the 20th century, many people viewed this mountain and recreation area as a beautiful and peaceful place, but after the volcano erupted in 1980 that view point was shattered.
The Black Death was so deadly that it resulted in reducing the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. It took over 150 years to recover. The plague returned at various times, killing more people, until it left Europe in the 19th
An estimated 30%-45% of London’s population died during the Black Plague. 30% is more than how many British soldiers died in WW1. The first and worst wave of the Plague ended in 1350. There are still some cases of the Plague showing up in European countries. The Black Death, over a span of five years, killed 25 million people and it was almost impossible to survive.
They have the same impact like secondary hazard. They are tsunamis, secondary hazard, that causes after the earthquake, tsunami had killed a lot of people and destroy area around there. The effect for Valdivia earthquake are too big so they’re traveled across to the Pacific Ocean and traveled along to the southern Chile, Hawaii, Philippine, Japan and etc, with the speed are over than 200 miles per hour. While the effect for Alaska is also big, that why this incident which is caused tsunami and massive landslides are also affect a lot in Canada to Hawaii.
All of these problems are raising the number of orphaned children, and leaving them with no shelter, food, clothes, or a family to call their own. Life Before the Earthquake An average family of four lives off of $350 a year. That is less than a dollar a day per family! There isn’t a very wide
The Tohoku Earthquake was the most powerful earthquake recorded to have hit Japan. The earthquake was a magnitude 9.0 off the coasts of Japan that occurred at 2:46pm on Friday 11 March 2011, which triggered a powerful tsunami that reached the height up to 10.4 meters. A Japanese National Police Agency reported 15,889 deaths, 6,152 injured, and 2,601 people missing, 127,290 buildings totally collapse, 272,788 buildings half collapse, and another 747,989 buildings partially damaged. The Tohoku earthquake and tsunami caused severe structural damage in northeastern Japan, including heavy damage to roads, railways and dams, not to mention fires in many areas. It was the toughest and the most difficult crisis in Japan after the World War 2 leaving
