Essays on Causalities

Hi, terrorism has been quite prevalent over the years. The disaster warrants different regions to develop preparations in case of terrorist attacks to minimize havoc.

The killing of Iraqis on a daily basis is a normal event of the Iraqi society, and this can be owed to the overall miss adventure of United States of ...

Indonesia, being found on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region with a considerable measure of tectonic movement, need to adapt to the consistent danger of volcanic eruptions, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis. On a few events throughout the most recent 15 years, Indonesia has stood out as truly newsworthy because of destroying natural disasters that brought about the deaths of countless human and animal lives. In addition to having a ruinous impact on the land zone, including infrastructure, and subsequently bringing about budgetary expenses. Harsh, dry, and wet seasons can destroy food crop harvests, trigger expansion, and put extreme money related pressure on ...

Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) In Iraq-Afghanistan Wars

Abstract Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are homemade bombs that are constructed and deployed in certain ways. Since October 2001, IEDs have been responsible for over 3000 combat deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan. These devises are designed to specifically kill, harass, or injure people or groups of people. In Iraq and Afghanistan, IEDs have been widely used. They are hidden behind guardrails and signs, inside animal carcasses, and under roadside debris, these encounters are very dangerous as they are causing thousands of death in Iraq and Afghanistan annually (Tanielian, 2008, p. 11). This strategy has taken a different direction ...

Acknowledging that the nation is in war, calls upon its citizens to do all they can individually and collectively to help the country fight the war. For the citizens, war and war threat situations have been seen to induce a sense of patriotism and unity, in the face of the common enemy. This is exactly what the politicians and law enforcement people seek to leverage by raising war rhetoric in crime prevention. War rhetoric is increasingly resorted to as a means ...

The battle of Verdun was one of the longest battles of the World War One (WWO). The battle, which involved the French and German armies, lasted for a period about eleven months, from around February to December 1916. Perhaps, it is called the battler of Verdun because it was fought at the Verdun-sur-Meuse hills, north-eastern region of France (Hickman, 2013).

An argument on why people still use land mines when they are dangerous

A land mine is an explosive device, covered under the surface of the ground and designed to destroy. It is a round device that can be made of plastic, wood, glass or metal. The use of landmines was first introduced in the United States during civil war. There are four types of antipersonnel mines (Maresca & Maslen). They include: Blast mine detonates by pressure and the explosion causes several victims injured or dead. Fragmentation mines have tripwire that triggers fragment sprays more than 100-radius and, anyone within this radius may be killed. Directional mines are steel balls with a forward of ...

Earthquakes

Earthquakes produce vibrations that are recorded, detected and measured with the use of the seismographs. Seismographs amplify the ground motions by a million times more than the motions beneath making a zigzag transcribes that are known as the seismograms. This data is relevant for the determination of the focal depth of an earthquake the time and the epicenter of the phenomena. In addition, approximations can be complete with relative sizes and amounts of force it produced. The focus hypocenter of the earthquake is the origin of the fault where rapture initiates. The depth in kilometers and map locations in longitudes and ...

Risk management cycle and strategy of disaster

- Introduction Recent studies on the climate have linked global warming to the occurrence of earthquakes. Even though it does not seem real that climate change would affect plate tectonics movement, scientists have managed to identify a probable linkage between the movement of plate tectonics and global warming. This provides in depth insight into the recent occurrence of strong earthquakes such as the 2010 earthquake in Chile, 2004 in Indonesia, and the 2010 earthquake that ripped Haiti. The past decade alone has witnessed three of the strongest earthquakes to ever hit the earth. Therefore there could a link between the movement ...
