19. This sound announces a new update.
This sound demands a new 140 Console update.
You will be requested to produce 140 Console updates
about certain topics.
20.
21. You will use a system of #hashtags to categorise the
scale of your 140 updates and to identify your audience.
22. You will use a system of #hashtags to categorise the
scale of your 140 updates and to identify your audience.
The character count of your #hashtags are included in
your 140 character maximum.
23.
24. Community Scale
Community scale consequences are the smallest size
category used by the 140 Console. They will include
consequences to individual towns and cities.
#hashtag= #com
30. Country Codes
You also need to include the official three character country
code for the affected locations. You have a summary sheet
of those codes.
Examples:
United Kingdom = #gbr
Iceland = #isl
France = #fra
55. On 26 February 2010,
unusual seismic activity
along with rapid expansion
Tectonic of the Earth's crust was
registered by the
Meteorological Institute of
Iceland
169. In recent decades, more
than 90 aircraft have
suffered damage from
Air Traffic volcanic plumes, according
to the International Civil
Aviation Authority
187. Met Office have computer
models developed to
predict movement of
Meteorology nuclear fallout that they
can use to predict where
the ash cloud will go
253. Dangerous toxic fumes are
in the air in the immediate
surroundings of the
Health volcanic crater, which can
cause permanent damage
to the lungs if inhaled
266. Ingi Thor Jakobsson,
manager of the Hotel Rangá
located near the
Tectonic Eyjafjallajokull glacier: “I
hope the eruption continues
for a while because it is very
good for business”
272. Ingi Thor Jakobsson,
manager of the Hotel Rangá:
“There aren't a lot of four
Tectonic star restaurants that can
offer dinner and a view of
a volcanic eruption”
284. According to Adolf
Arnason, a police officer at
Hvosvollur, the closest
Tectonic police district to the
eruption, the area has
seen a sharp increase in
visitors this week.
290. Most of the country remains
unaffected by falling ash but
in the area immediately south
Meteorology of the volcano visibility has
been reduced to almost zero
and conditions are described
as extremely unpleasant
309. The Icelandic Meteorological
Office says that the light winds
prevailing in Europe and large
Meteorology amounts of unmelted glacial ice
above the volcano means the
situation is unlikely to change
over the next few days.
318. European Aviation Industry
344109 tons of CO2 per day
Eyjafjallajoekull
150000 tons of CO2 per day
206465 tons of CO2 saved by 60% cancelled flights across Europe
331. Most families with children
who are living in the fallout
zone have chosen to leave,
Health those that remain are
mostly farmers with
livestock to look after
344. 140 Console Update
Your shift is ending.
Summary statement
needed before handover
345.
346. This simulation has all be based on real events and
information.
You should now have a better understanding of the
community, national and international scale consequences
of a volcanic eruption.
