The strong radiation from the atomic bomb contaminates the city. This radiation kills all of the people there. The explosion from the bomb whirls up massive amounts of dust and water. The dust and water become radioactively contaminated and fly several feet up. Then, the day after the nuclear explosion, the contaminated dust and water rain down and contaminate a large area.
The factors that contributed to the Columbia disaster were a large piece of foam insulation broke off and hit the orbiter’s left wing which damaged the thermal protection system. The heat of reentry destroyed the wing, which lead to the breaking up of the orbiter. There were also the budget constraints that NASA was under. NASA promised to launch all the United States payloads. They considered the orbiter a reusable as a means for long-run cost savings.
This produced an immense amount of energy casing a massive explosion in the reactor. The explosion completely destroyed the reactor and released harmful radioactive agents into the environment. The explosion at reactor 4 was immediately followed by an even bigger explosion that completely destroyed the reactor building structure. Super heated graphite and other reactor components
Survival. Achieving this can bring out the worst in people. When the world turns around like it did for Miranda, life would never be the same. An unpredicted disaster has taken a toll on the world. A meteor struck the moon and moved it closer into orbit changing centrifugal forces and causing worldwide tidal waves, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and that’s just the start.
These include.... * The eruption had left destruction in its wake, it created a ‘Pyroclastic Flow’ or ‘Nuée ardente’ (Glowing Cloud). This is a cloud of volcanic debris, made up of solid, semi solid and hot, expanding gases. The cloud behaves like a liquid, flowing down the slope of the volcano. It can reach up to and above 100Km/h and so destroys everything in its path. The pyroclastic flow from Mt.
The Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle accidents During the Challenger and Columbia Space Shuttle accidents, there were key factors that contributed to each incident. In the midst of take-off, the Challenger began to leak hot combustible gases, which cause the destruction of the space shuttle. The leak happened between the O-ring and SRB segments and the explosion was inevitable. The Columbia tragedy had begun at launch and reentry. As Columbia Space Shuttle launched, foam insulation came off and damage left wing’s thermal protection system.
One theory hypothesis is that the climate became too wet while another that the climate dried out to kill off the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs could have starved to death or died from the over-heating. Scientists continue to add new causes for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some of the recent mechanisms are: 1) cancer trigged by huge bursts of neutrinos released by dying stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. 2) AIDS.
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen then mixed and ignited, causing the explosion that destroyed the Challenger" (Palmer, Dunford, & Akin, 2009, p. 375). All the astronauts aboard the Challenger perished. Seventeen years later, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. During lift-off, insulating foam fell from the fuel tank onto the wing, which caused a breach in the fragile tiles that were to protect the shuttle from the heat of reentry. Days later, when the shuttle attempted reentry, the breach allowed heat into the wing, which caused destruction of the craft.
All life on Earth will be wiped out when our dying sun expands into a red giant, finally engulfing the Earth. Ultimately the universe will be incapable of supporting any life as it expands forever, leaving only residual heat and evaporating black holes, or contracts back on itself, fusing all matter and energy into a final Big Crunch. Either way, all life in the universe will disappear forever. Such considerations once led Bertrand Russell to conclude that any philosophy worth taking seriously would have to be built upon a "firm foundation of unyielding despair" [2]. Does the finality of death make life meaningless?
They lose their habitat and forced to move to new location; besides, many cannot survive the deforestation that destroys their homes. It is undeniable that deforestation itself has extreme effect on Global warming and hurts the air. Global warming means that air and ocean temperature is increasing. Greenhouse gases exist primarily because of human activity. Unfortunately, humans are the most polluting species on the planet.
