Part 1

The current theory regarding the evolution of the earth’s ocean is that water is present during the formation of the earth. Most of the discovered materials which was more than 4 billion years old also contained evidences of the present of water (Genda, 2016). Some scientists suggest that the water on earth emerged in the surface when steam was released in the volcanoes. Additional water emerged in the surface of the earth coming from meteorites and comets during the formation of the earth. The continuous addition of water from volcanoes and meteorites or comets led to the formation ...

Natural disasters affect a large of people around the worked and this is rising because of climate change and the rising concentration of people inhabiting the areas that are more exposed to natural disasters. These natural disasters reduce the economic growth and a significant impact on poverty and social welfare, which affects the developing countries, and their most vulnerable populations. While natural disasters cannot be prevented, actions can be taken to reduce their human and economic costs. This paper looks at a large-scale natural disaster such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004, the effect it had on the ...

The Moscow city's location gives it access to Palouse River in Idaho as well as Paradise Creek whose upstream basins are the main water resources in the area. The Palouse River is from formation of the lava basins on both sides of the Moscow mountain that describes its high gradient at its youthful stage and thus flowing fast as it loses its height down the mountain. Just like most of the streams in active tectonic areas, the Palouse River has a straight channel considering the existence of alluvial fans as well. Regarding the fact that this stream has its ...

Search and Rescue (SAR) is a practice done to salvage people from disasters. This practice is done by professionals who are specialized in particular disasters, for instance, following a hurricane or earthquake. These professionals serve to protect life to the best of their ability in each and every operation they encounter. As such, they need as much information before venturing into a potentially life-threatening disaster area. A mechanism is, therefore, required to provide all the necessary information to the SAR professionals. An excellent solution is this scenario would be an unmanned aerial vehicle that can record and relay real-time ...

Introduction

The government of Dubai undertook a mega project entitled the Palm Jumeirah in 2001. The mega project involved the building of an island on the shoreline of Dubai with intentions of attracting tourists and create a grand tourist sector. This was not a lofty goal as it has been met and expounded upon. Dubai is now considered the world’s most modern city with the Palm Jumeirah and other mega projects. The impact of the mega project has been local and global. Locally, the city has seen rapid economic growth and now attracts corporations and tourists from all over ...

Question 1

The societal response to coastal changes caused by sand transportation has mostly been a moderate effort in harm mitigation. The erosion of shorelines and beaches tends to be seen as less of a cause for concern than higher-impact or episodic natural events, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, and tornadoes (Dilley & Rasid, 1990). Sand transportation, also known as sediment transportation, is the movement of sand and other earthy particles (such as mud, clay, gravel, or boulders) along a sloping surface due to the motive force of gravity. This causes beaches to erode and shorelines to retreat. People have used several ...

Executive Summary In this study, the city wanted to determine the economic value of the Sharp Park and the surrounding coastal trail. Instinctively, one may think of lost revenues, or possible income which may be generated by keeping the golf course. However, in the study, it has been determined that the amount earned from the golf course is actually much lesser than the amount required to maintain such. In fact, the city does not even earn from such property. The expense is greater than the revenues generated. But in the course of the research, it has been ascertained that ...

English bay beaches

Since there is no curvey wave line on the shoreline, we concluded that there are no big waves. The waves present were characteristic of a combination of both transverse and longitudinal motions. When we stood at the beaches and watched the waves, we guessed that the water moved towards the shore. However, after careful examination, we discovered that water was not piling up on the beach. When we watched carefully at some debris on the water, we noticed that a crest of a wave moved it towards the shore, but it moved back the same distance with the wave’s trough. ...

According to Warrick (1993), global warming is the main contributor to the rise in global sea level since the Industrial Revolution. Human activities such as burning coal and oil and cutting down tropical forests increase atmospheric concentrations of heat-trapping gases. The three main factors leading to the rise in sea levels include: thermal expansion, ice loss from Greenland and West Antarctica and melting of glaciers and polar ice caps. Land ice, that is, glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets, stores nearly two-thirds of the world’s freshwater and is shrinking in response to higher temperatures. Glaciers partially melt ...

Introduction

Andrew Jackson became the president in 1828 through an election. He had the idea of putting up a relatively small and limited structure government. With this agenda at hand, he also had a vision of raising the executive powers for the president.

One of the achievements was his objection of the national bank claiming excessive foreign influence in national issues of the United States. It was out of his ideology that turned into the compulsory migration of the Indians to the west of the ...

Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress experienced by the coral reefs. The stress is caused by an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live within them. These algae are of the genus Symbiodinium. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and color. The algae will reduce or all will leave the coral reefs when there are harsh physical conditions. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing color and thus the term coral ...

Coral Bleaching: Causes, Effects and Response Action Plan Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress which leads to an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live in the coral leaves (Rosenberg, Kushmaro, Kramarsky-Winter, Banin and Yossi 1). The algae will reduce or all will leave. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and colour. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing colour and thus the term coral bleaching (Douglas, 386). The skeletal ...

An examination of the biotic and early history of the environment and the dilemma facing the modern world calls for the need to explore and discover the factors that cause harm. Over the years, the human race has been evolving and with so an entirely new understanding of energy utilization and output, therefore, introducing the use of fossil energy to meet their needs. This has caused natural hazards over the centuries. As such, the human race migrated instead of facing the consequences, but in this day, such a measure is difficult to incorporate. The understanding that these catastrophes are caused ...
