Introduction

In May 2012, English couple Mick and Mairead Philpott made the headlines for surviving a fire that killed their six children and destroyed their house in the Allenton area (BBC News, 2013). After publicly claiming to be lucky for surviving the fire, the Philpotts won the sympathy of people who felt sorry for them for losing six of their children and most of their properties. However, after a month of investigation, the Philpotts were accused of committing arson and murder, and by 2013, they were convicted of manslaughter for deliberately starting a fire that killed all six of their ...

The Columbian accident is primarily how the political environment influenced the decision to launch the space shuttle in Columbia, who was involved and who was not. The political climate during the launch of the shuttle was that of pressure on the NASA station. A good example of how NASA deals with these pressures is analyzing what the then, Norman Augustine concluded to as the gross underfunding of NASA would affect its projects in a negative light. He proposed a budget that would favor the space exploration, but these pleas fell on the deaf ears of those who had the ...

Post Disaster Project: Prepare a Project Plan

Project description A disaster is natural or man-made occurrence, that causes immense damage to human life, animal life or properties, on a large scale. It creates the need for external human assistance to alleviate the sufferings of the victims, minimize their loss and return them back to a state where they can manage the situation independently. Sometimes, the damage associated with a disaster is irreversible and assistance can only help victims to adapt. A proper disaster management project can help foresee disasters and minimize loss. Preparedness, response, recovery and mitigation are the different stages involved in the management of ...

Kurt Vonnegut was a prolific American author, who wrote the novel “Slaughterhouse Five” (1969). The novel is one of the arguments against war that exists even today. The reason for this is because the novel deals with the effects of war on a person when they return home. This is because for many people it is hard to truly leave the battlefield behind due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As PSTD was not a recognizable diagnosis at the time of Vonnegut’s writing, he used Billy’s inability to connect with reality as a representation of the potential effect ...

Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate Tectonics

All the earth processes are a result of energy flow and mass circulation in and outside of the earth system. Plate tectonics is an earth process that involves the movement of the lithosphere caused by internal processes inside the earth’s mantle (Kent C 154). This is as a result of convection currents within the earth’s crust caused by the heat in the crust. This heat in the crust is due to the initial heat during the earth’s formation and through the radioactive process. The earth’s core is made of radioactive elements such as uranium which decay and ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The outermost layer of earth, or lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. The boundaries of the plates and their movement leads to the formation of earthquakes, volcanic activity, creation of mountains, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Tectonic plates are formed from either oceanic crust or continental crust, with many containing both. The movement of the plates varies from 0-100mm in a given year. The movement of these plates comes from the outward energy of flow that comes from earth’s central core. Radioactivity produced from elements within earth’s core, such as uranium, decay and release energy. The ...

2) There are justifications on the presence of the moon. Perhaps, collision-ejection theory of the moon gives an explains on the issues. The theory asserts that the moon exists due to the formation of debris ejected from the earth, especially when objects crushed. Collision-ejection theory claims that the newly formed earth collided with mars at an angle, which splashed the layers of the earth surface into the orbit around it. This implies that the Earth crust and mantle formed the moon though condensation. There are various facts on the moon that the theory is consistent with. Some of the ...

Question 1

Jupiter was the first giant planet formed.

Question 2

According to the Nice theory where did the Kuiper belt objects and Oort cloud objects come from?

Kuiper belt objects come from the out edge of Solar System where huge spheres made of rock and ice that circle around Pluto’s orbit. The objects took their name from Gerard Kuiper who suggested that comets may come from the Kuiper belt. This group of planetoids is called Kuiper belt objects (KBO). The first KBO named “1991 QB1” was discovered in 1992. The plant Pluto also belongs to the group of KBO. Some ...

1.Jupiter was the first. Giant lies just beyond the frost line. As the frost line accumulated great amounts of water via evaporation from infalling icy material, it created a zone of lower pressure that increased the speed of orbiting dust particles and halted their motion toward the Sun. As a result , the frost line acted as a barrier whice lead material to accumulate. This excess material coalesced into a huge embryo of around 10 Earth masses, which then began to grow rapidly by swallowing hydrogen from the surrounding disc, reaching 150 Earth masses in only another 1000 years and finally topping out at ...

Introduction

Wind engineering is a significant component in civil engineering. This is because winds can have devastating effects on different manmade and natural structures. Windstorms produce large amounts of damage every year (Holmes, 2007). Weather conditions such as thunderstorms generate local winds, whereas hurricanes and typhoons may generate very strong winds. Designing of buildings and structure takes into account the dead load of the structure plus the imposed load. However, in including a factor of safety for the structures the engineers have to factor in the wind load.

Fire Investigators Roles

Introduction

Fire investigation is a detailed examination of incidences related to fire. Fire investigators usually begin their work to determine the origin and cause of the incident after fire fighters terminate the fire. A fire incident with injuries and deaths require more detailed information than other fires (IAAI, 2010). The scene of the fire is similar to that of other scenes but it provides a different intensity for the fire investigators. Fire investigators must determine the cause of the fire as well as deal with the injuries and fatalities. The investigators should deal with their emotions in such an incident as ...

Mountain pine beetle (MPB) (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is a bark beetle that lays eggs within the vascular system of the mature trees of lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta). First known epidemic infestation was recorded in 1994 in the forests of British Columbia (BC). Prior to 1994, the infestation was negligible, owing to the fact that extreme low temperatures of winter killed the beetle, thereby curbing the problem. In the past two decades, however, due to global warming the winter temperatures are not low enough to kill the beetle. This has escalated the problem of deforestation and thereby has unbalanced the ...
