1. Earthquakes are caused by movements in the Earth's crust along fault lines and plate boundaries. The most severe earthquakes typically occur at destructive and conservative plate boundaries.
2. Scientists can measure earthquakes using seismographs, which detect seismic waves. The Richter scale is used to quantify the magnitude or strength of an earthquake based on the seismograph recording.
3. In addition to the Richter scale, the Mercalli scale is used to describe the intensity or amount of damage caused by an earthquake based on observations of its effects.
The 2010 Haiti earthquake was a devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake that struck near the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince, resulting in over 200,000 deaths. The human cost was immense due to factors such as Haiti's poverty, the earthquake occurring close to the densely populated capital city in a country with weak infrastructure and buildings, and the collapse of already fragile humanitarian systems. International aid efforts faced major challenges in delivering assistance.
Lessons Learned from the 2011 Tohuku Tsunami - Harry YehEERI
The document summarizes lessons learned from the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan. It discusses the tsunami's runup pattern, failures of wharf foundations and seawalls, the effect of centrifugal forces on seawall design, and factors influencing tsunami casualties beyond runup height alone. Key features of a new tsunami risk assessment model for HAZUS-MH are outlined.
Haiti faced many challenges before and after the 2010 earthquake:
- The earthquake killed hundreds of thousands and displaced over 1.5 million people in Port-au-Prince.
- The response faced difficulties due to Haiti's weak government, the influx of thousands of unqualified aid groups, and lack of experience with urban disasters.
- Problems included an unequal distribution of aid, uncontrolled influx of donations, lack of land title records, and over-focus on camps rather than community support.
- Coordination of the massive response was challenging without involvement of Haitian groups and authorities. The cholera outbreak in 2010 added further crisis.
Housing, location, poverty, and hurricanes all contributed to the massive loss of life in the 2010 Haiti earthquake:
1) Most of the 3 million people in Port-au-Prince lived in slums with poorly constructed housing built on steep slopes without foundations or building codes.
2) The earthquake struck near the capital at a shallow depth, causing widespread damage.
3) Two-thirds of Haitians lived on less than $1 per day, and many resided in extreme poverty without access to basic necessities.
4) Previous hurricanes had destroyed farms, caused food shortages, and increased urban migration, straining housing availability.
Political troubles and an unstable government

The last ice sheet to completely cover Scotland (the Devensian ice sheet) began to melt and its margins retreat about 20,000 years ago as summer sunlight in the northern hemisphere increased. Over the following 10,000 years, the average global temperature rose by 3.50C and most of the Devensian ice sheet melted in the “Great Thaw”. In Scotland, however, a seemingly contradictory readvance of the ice took place. Around 12,900 years ago, the temperatures in Scotland plummeted and remained low for about 1300 years. This glacial period, known as the Younger Dryas, is thought to have been caused by huge quantities of meltwater escaping into the North Atlantic and closing down the North Atlantic Ocean Conveyor.
The evidence for this readvance was first analysed and appreciated in the broad hummocky lowlands to the south of Loch Lomond and this became the type area for the readvance .

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
