The First Punic War is from 264-241 bc. The reason behind the 1st Punic War is two growing powers in the Mediterranean outgrow they’re own area and clash. Neither power is strong enough to fight and compete with the Eastern Mediterranean powers. So they will compete over who is charge of the Western Mediterranean. Both share similar histories and time periods.
On March 29, 1980 after a period of one-hundred and twenty-three years of inactivity a earthquake under the volcano quaked, and seven days later a pheartic (steam) explosions began. As magma pushed up from beneath the earth's surface, the north side of the mountain developed a bulge. Angle and slope-distance measurements indicating that the bulge was
It was closed to visitors between 1992 and 1996 for restoration works; since it reopened only 80 people per day are allowed entry and there can be a 2–3 weeks wait to get a ticket. It was discovered by accident in 1902 when workers cutting cisterns for a new housing development broke through its roof. The workers tried to hide the temple at first, but eventually it was found. The study of the structure was first entrusted to Father Manuel Magri of the Society of Jesus, who directed the excavations on behalf of the Museums Committee. Magri died in 1907, before the publication of the report.
The earthquake’s strongest point lasted for around 8-10 minutes. The tsunami created a permanent rise in global sea level by at least 0.1mm and it caused an inactive volcano located in the Leuser Mountain, Indonesia to active. Did you know the December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was caused by an earthquake that is thought to have had the energy of 23,000 atomic bombs. *Location* The tsunami was located in 15 different countries. The countries which were affected the most include Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand.
The ones who believe this, do not comprehend the many different factors in war and how the route that was chosen was best for both parties that were directly affiliated with the bombings. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would have been fire bombed if the atomic bombs were not dropped, causing similar damage and death counts to the atomic bombs. According to Kyoko Iriye Selden, "The most influential text is Truman's 1955 Memoirs, which states that the atomic bomb probably saved half a million US lives— anticipated casualties in an Allied invasion of Japan planned for November. Stimson subsequently talked of saving one million US casualties, and Churchill of saving one million American and half that number of British lives"(1). With this amount of casualties projected, a land invasion would have trumped the death toll of D-Day.
At the time, he did not know what this meant. But when he came upon the Bosporus he understood: on the opposite eastern shore was a Greek city, Chalcedon, whose founders were said to have overlooked the superior location only 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) away. Byzas founded his city here on the European coast and named it Byzantion after himself. It was mainly a trading city due to its location at the Black Sea's only entrance. Byzantion later conquered Chalcedon, across the Bosporus on the Asiatic side.
There are three main factors to consider when assessing the management of a tectonic event: prediction, preparation, and response. Earthquakes are very difficult to predict. However, just two years earlier, a report by US geologists concluded that an earthquake of minimum magnitude 7.0 would strike Haiti. The problem was that due to the imprecise nature of earthquake prediction, they could only narrow down the time scale to being within 30 years. The preparation in Haiti, however, was non-existent.
The Sichuan 2008 Earthquake Factors On 12 May 2008 at 14:28:01.42 CST, an earthquake, measuring up to 8.0 on the Richter scale struck the Wenchuan County of the southwest Sichuan province of China. The epicentre location was 31°01’16”N and 103°22’01”E. Between 64 and 104 major aftershocks, ranging in magnitude from 4.0 to 6.1, were recorded within 72 hours of the main quake. According to Chinese official counts, by October 23, there had been 34,498 total aftershocks. By September 2008, the recorded number of dead was 69,227, with 374,643 injured, 17,923 missing and at least 5 million homeless.
The goal formally was to lose or gain no more than one out of every billion billion seconds. That is one second in about 32 billion years, and is 10 to 100 times better than any existing clocks. Already, atomic clocks have come a long way. While experimental clocks are moving ahead, a device called the NIST-F1 is the official U.S. timekeeper. It’s accurate to a few parts in 1016.
Cons of Nuclear Power Stations “In the UK, CO2 emissions continue to rise and progress on energy efficiency and renewable uptake has been disappointing.” (Source 4: http://www.niauk.org.uk/hot-topics.html The Nuclear Industry Association’s official website, paging information for the civil nuclear industry, representing over 130 companies. This con illustrates that according to research, renewable uptake options have been below par, including nuclear energy as an option.) “Nuclear power generation produces negligible CO2, a by-rpoduct of fossil fuel generation, which is the main cause of global warming.” (Source 4: http://www.niauk.org.uk/hot-topics.html The Nuclear Industry Association’s official website, paging information for the civil nuclear industry, representing over 130 companies. This fact shows that regardless of switching between fossil fuel and nuclear energy, nuclear still contributes to global warming and is thus the same as fossil fuels when it comes to reducing emissions.) “But by 2030, it is estimated world CO2 emissions will be 63% higher than today, as global demand for energy grows.” (Source 5: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4216302.stm BBC produced website showcasing an article written by a specialist in environmental issues.
