The world under the title of natural disasters "historic flooding"

Still fighting the effects felt in the country in New England, and countries such as Vermont, where there is a massive amount of flooding, and President Barack Obama in the state of Vermont House.The White on Monday that the floods historic centers of cities were submerged by the United and left the States to the normal of Irene Katrina , blamed for at least 29 cities including New York deaths.Major evacuation measures taken unprecedented and was largely spared the full wrath of Hurricane Irene, which was reduced on Sunday to a tropical storm and drenched displays a wide range extends from the United States in the Middle Coast.But devastating storm that began a week ago in the Caribbean and refused to go out with a whimper, and destroyed almost the entire state of Vermont before crossing into Canada, where it also caused authorities said damage.Vermont may be the worst floods in the mountainous state since 1927. And closed offices, including in Montpelier the capital, where the water level began to recede Monday morning. a town on the peninsula in coastal Virginia, and the girl who died in the north is linked to Carolina. New York newspapers, six deaths of Erin, including the man who was electrocuted while trying to save a child who went to the streets flooded with wires that have been shot down. He said police spokesman Eric Benoit of Quebec and the child was in Canada condition.In dangerous, a man swept away in Yamaska, about 105 km (65 miles) northeast of Montreal, after two cars crashed in a gap created when the road washed away. Hurricane earlier last week killed at least five people in the Caribbean, and two each from the Dominican Republic and Haiti and one in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico Rico.But hurricane was not as severe as some people had prepared for. The Wall Street rose Monday in part to mitigate the damage is limited to the infrastructure of the metro in the world's largest economy.New New York, which was closed Saturday in an unprecedented act of caution and open on Monday morning, despite the suburban trains connecting the suburbs in the state of New Jersey , New York, Connecticut and Westchester suspended.National the Amtrak rail operator has also seen major disruptions, with the major lines were closed north of Philadelphia where crews clear the debris and inspect the tracks. New York airports to open, but with a delay.

The Meteorological Department warned Pakistan in the range of deadly rains (from August 29 to September 3).

Criticized the widespread rain of many cities in the state of Punjab and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Sunday as fresh, and the wave of monsoon rains for a week began with the prospects for generating floods in different parts of the country. Can be very heavy rain in some places because of the intensification of a continuous wave on the western parts of the country's north, and the incursion from the Bay of Bengal in the stream of moist semi-mountainous areas of the state of Punjab and the development of a low pressure area over India. It was reported respectively.It heavy shower in the nests and subsequent Noorpur with the two cities to receive 97mm 84mm rain, light rain, but continued in Lahore, which kept the weather nice. The maximum temperature recorded in the provincial capital at 27.5 degrees Celsius and the minimum at 24 degrees Celsius with humidity of 92 per cent in the morning and 88 per cent in the Bureau of Meteorology said evening.The strong weather system developing over the central India, can cause heavy rainfall on widely in Pakistan next week. Heavy rain to heavy very likely to generate severe flooding in the lower parts of Sindh and flooding in local rivers / nullahs Punjab, Pakhtunkhwa Khyber and Eastern system Balochistan.The, will affect the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from Sunday to Thursday, and the Punjab starting on Sunday, Saturday, adding that the rainfall rains may cause flooding in local rivers / nullahs Punjab, especially in Rawalpindi, Sargodha, and the Directorate General of Gujranwala divisions.Lower Khan will be affected by the bond from Monday to Tuesday. It is expected widespread rain and thunderstorms with isolated heavy rain from Wednesday to Saturday in most parts of the province, including Karachi. This has caused heavy rainfall in the severe flooding in Sindh, especially in the lower parts of the Department of Meteorology province.The officials advised the irrigation water to reduce the bond the flow of water channels during the next week to avoid floods and called for close monitoring of the migration of the bank downstream left to avoid the rain thunderstorm breaches. Scattered and is likely to hit the northeast of Balochistan on Monday and Tuesday, while the eastern parts of the province are likely to be exposed to rain, thunder and widely from Wednesday to Friday.that rain isolated / thunderstorm is likely in Gilgit Baltistan - on Monday, and rain clouds from the Tuesday to Sunday. According to the Meteorological Department of the authorities concerned to remain alert during the next week (from August 29 to September 3). Khanpur and 22mm, Faisal 18mm, Joharabad 16mm, for Bahawalnagar and Sahiwal each 14mm, 12mm Bhakkar, and Kalat Jhang 11mm each Khuzdar, Peshawar 10MM each, Bahawalpur and Toba Tek Sargodha 9MM Singh every city of Lahore, and Chhor Risalpur 7mm each, and Shirat Parachinar 5mm each them, DI Khan, Dir Lower, Multan, Kotli, Gilgit, and Bannu Kamra 3mm each, Hunza, Kotli, Islamabad zero, and Mandi Bahauddin Gupis 2mm and each of them, and Jhelum and Malamjabba 1MM each.Kakul 79mm of rain on Sunday, Muzaffarabad 67mm , Mori and Rawalakot each 45mm, 41mm Saidu Sharif, Garhi Dupatta and 36mm Mangla each, Balakot 34mm Chakwal, DG Khan and 24MM each.

Sichuan earthquake "facts" China 2008 eartquake

The earthquake with a magnitude of 7.9 in the Eastern Sichuan, western China on Monday, May 12, 2008 at 02:28 local time. It occurred at a depth of about 19 kilometers (11.8 miles). The earthquake destroyed many communities, leaving an estimated five million people homeless. Were badly damaged due to landslides and flooded rivers made the land upstream. The government estimated that killed about 70,000 people a direct result of the earthquake. It is expected that the disease and hunger to claim thousands of lives for several months after the earthquake due to hit supplies of clean drinking water and food. The quake was felt across China and other parts of Bangladesh, India, Japan, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Several strong aftershocks caused extensive damage after the collapse of thousands of homes and killed thousands of people. Sichuan earthquake on May 12, 2008, occurred as a result of the movement to reverse hit north-east of a fault or defect on the sidelines of the North West direction from the Sichuan Basin. Epicenter of the earthquake and the coordination mechanism consistent with the existence of an event as a result of movement on the Longmenshan error or an error related to tectonically. Earthquake reflects the stresses of tectonic resulting from a convergence of crustal material slowly moving from the Tibetan plateau is high, and to the west, against the crust strong potential in the Sichuan Basin and South East China.On range, continental, and seismic activity in Central and East Asia is the result of convergence north of the Panel for the Panel, India against Eurasia, with a speed of about 50 mm / d. And large-scale convergence of plates that absorb the lifting of the Asian highlands and the movement of crustal material to the east away from the margin of Tibet progress Plateau.The northwest of the Sichuan Basin has previously devastating earthquakes. Killed earthquake measuring 7.5 on August 25, 1933, and more than 9,300 people.

Baden deadly floods

Stranded thousands of people in the areas affected by the rain waiting for rescue, rehabilitation and support irregularities in the canals and drains, especially in the depletion of the bank remained downstream (LBOD), and remained connected on Monday.Developing new violations of waterways and drains another 20 villages were flooded, including the village of Golarchi flooded after 50 foot breach in the migration of Mian widened to 300ft.In Mirpurkhas, was called the army to rescue thousands of people stranded in flooded villages in Taluka Jhuddo where about 15,000 people sought refuge in makeshift tents along the roads and school buildings.Military personnel and survey the affected areas. Jhuddo the town and surrounding villages with a population of about 200,000.
In Baden, caused the breach in the LBOD the main figures in the RD 272, 261 and 268 large-scale damage to crops and loss of property and lives of some.Worse it include villages Widhri Chuck, Mithi III, den Mubarak chose to Lund.Found the body of a villager, Khamiso Lund, and Chuck Widhri in the depletion of Puran Dhoro.Almost Councils Association Kamel Ahmed Raju, Tarai, Khorwah, and rural areas of Golarchi, Serani UC, Memon Bhugra, Mithi third, Kazia judge, Abdullah Shah, a part Kadhan and Mohammad Khan Bhurgari Taluka Badin, Chabralo University of California, Yarkas Day, has been flooded Khoski and Khairpur Gamboh of Tando Bago.The villagers are able to fill a gap in the Akram Wah, but the other violations of crops and flooding villages.Have been three violations in the Imam Wah, and three in the drain Amir Shah, two in each of the SCAP, and the depletion of Wah-Bukhari and light.There have also been violations of the minor Baneri, Mir Wah Ghooni, sea Ganj Wah, Wah, Soltani, Shadi small, large shady Wah, Nasir Wah, Wah Manak and many other banks and distributaries.Recent rains and floods in the region of Baden has led to scarcity of drinking water and food while the food is sold in high prices.Badin is one of the areas hit by the disaster where relief camps are unable to provide the basic elements for the affected population. The relief camps were set up in all the five tehsils of the region where they are forced to live under the sky without the affectees availability of adequate food and drinking water.On the other hand, has been raising food prices after a sharp increase in demand. Flour arrived at Rs1, 250 in 40 kg of Rs1, 150 while sold sugar Rs80 instead of Rs68 and Rs60.Prices milk other essential food items such as fruits, vegetables and meat also increased, even to20%, as, no breach in the banks and canals filled yet.

Massive landslide in NW China

It is now known more than 700 people died in a massive landslide in northwest China - making it one of the heaviest fighting so far in the worst floods in the country since a decade.Explore the rescuers with sniffer dogs on the man, what Shindan Liu, who was in a state of weakness, but breathing normally.Landslides hit the remote town of Gansu Province Sunday, with a multitude of mud and rocks that swept large areas of the mountain community in the deadliest incident so far in the worst floods in the country since a decade.And engineers were battling Tuesday to drain Lake unstable generated by a landslide in the country's deadliest in a decade, threatening misery for the new north west of the country destroyed if bursts its banks.Dianmu with a tropical storm heading to the north of China - are expected to bring strong rain - was the highest priority to maintain the abundance of lake flooding, or cause catastrophic collapse of the temporary dam.And dropped the water level behind the barrier a little bit after the controlled explosions create a channel to turn off some.

What is earthquake? complete guidance

 

Earthquake is one of the natural disasters. The origin can be traced to the early days of the formation of the earth. It is responsible for a lot of damage to living organisms and non-living. For many centuries no man who does not know why earthquakes occur and how they occur and to what extent the damage will be. He believed he was the only one who was angry with Mother Earth and caused the earthquake and that he always feared.It was left to Aristotle, the great Greek philosopher, to link this phenomenon of the earthquake to physical factors. According to Aristotle, when the compressed air escapes into the bow, shake it part of the land. This is called the emission of volcanic activity. When the volcano exploded, and a lot of lava, gas and other out of the ground, and the failure of the exit. This causes a pressure imbalance and results in the production of earthquake waves in the surrounding areas. Thus has been identified that volcanic activity is one of the causes of earthquakes. Results of volcanic activity in the crack. To fill the new errors on the movement of the earth takes place. This causes the earthquake.The second reason is the isostatic adjustment. Earth's surface and some of the blocks and barriers set up a certain depression. They keep the balance of the earth, and when the rotor moves the units of the axis. Raised these blocks until it is washed down due to various reasons, and why the imbalance. Earthquakes also occur and then to restore and maintain this balance.We can see that earthquakes usually occur in areas volcano Prime Minister and under the feet of the hills and mountains, as well as any settlement earthquakes occur frequently in China, Japan, the Philippines, and southern parts of the Himalayas, cut off Prime Minister volcano in Europe and parts of North West and South America. It is also likely to occur in the state of Rajasthan in India and Arab countries.One can not say that earthquakes do not occur in other places. They may occur in any part of the world at any time. We are not sure of the very radical Islamic movements from the ground and pressure points and the session. Only in this way one can determine the areas, are likely to occur.All earthquakes do not cause serious damage. Those that are of high density is really dangerous. There are standards to measure the intensity of the earthquake. It was the first one in the scope of Mercall. Is the measure of a qualitative, not quantitative scale, and so are not useful for measuring the density. The second is the Richter scale. Is released from inside the Richter scale. Measured with numbers. If the earthquake measures 7 points on the Richter scale, it causes severe damage because of severe intensity. Perhaps those measuring 5 points and less do not cause much damage.Scientists are now able to study and determine the secondary waves and higher education also in the waves of earthquakes. Scientists are able to study the radical Islamic movements in the wave of the help of a device called a seismograph. Helping one can also predict the possibility of an earthquake is likely, "Where and when is likely to happen.In India more than earthquakes occur in the Himalayas, the Ganges and Brahmaputra valleys. Was signed by only a few earthquakes in the Deccan Plateau. Earthquake, which occurred in 1967 in Icwyna and the earthquake in 1993 in the state of Maharashtra in the last Latour are in this area.And can in this respect than men of natural disasters can not be the only master he becomes a master of nature altogether. This is not possible for a man with limited knowledge of nature has in his leadership.

What is a landslide?

A landslide in the first place is a set of geological processes, which include several movements such as land slope failure and a wide range, falling rocks, and debris flow. This may be terrestrial movements occur in the coastal marine environment, and land. Gravity is the main force that causes landslides, in addition to other benefits that affect the stability of the ground.Usually, the characteristics of the ground, especially the development of subsurface soil conditions that cause the failure of the slope. However, the collapse of the real need to trigger before you can start on it. It is usually possible to identify the origin of the main players landslide victory. Process may be the trigger with respect to weather, or the stimulus that produces an immediate reaction of the slope. Typically, the establishment of such a movement because of a change in the stresses of the slope. These types of geological formations are common in mountainous areas. It will be necessary to install the slopes to reduce the likelihood of landslides.
Triggers landslide:
May be caused by landslides due to many reasons may be active individually or together. Some of the main reasons are:
Rain wide:
Landslide on the trigger was the most rainfall intensity for long periods and heavy. May also occur on the trigger, even if the density of moderate rain, but rain and a high pore pressure. The global survey revealed overwhelming, which was held in 2003, which was activated 90% of the landslides and signed by the heavy rainfall. In the first place, and this is due to step up pressure of water in the pores of the soil.
Melting ice:
In many places the mountain cold, melting snow and frequent, and may be vital to the process of landslides. This is particularly important when the rapid increase in temperature quickly begins melting snow. Production of water seeping into the ground under the layers of impermeable surface. And pore water pressure increased rapidly, causing a landslide at the beginning of the process. This result is particularly important when it is complete weather is hot before adding the rainfall into the groundwater and increase the rate of melting.
Rivers:
Can damage the slopes of the rivers, especially during floods, which caused a landslide. Disorder increases the slope of the gradient slope, and the reduction of stability. In some countries, has been observed in many cases, this process after the floods caused by glacial erosion of a finger along the canal. The flood waves pass, and the earth and the wide sliding usually occurs. This volatility will last for a long time, especially during the subsequent periods of heavy rain and flooding.
Change in water level:
May lead to rapid changes in the ground water level along the slope leading to landslides. This is especially true when the slope of the nearby river or other body of water. As the water level near the slope decreases rapidly, ground water can not dissipate quickly, causing a high water table. Exposed to high shear stress ramp that leads to potential instability. This is one of the most important way in which the river bank fails.
Seismic shaking:
Seismic waves through the rocks and the ground accelerations that creates a change from the forces of gravity on a slope. Change the vertical acceleration, respectively, the load on the slope. Acceleration caused by the horizontal shear force due to inertia overwhelming. This complex process, and can be sufficient to cause the failure of the slope. These operations are large in mountainous areas where seismic waves cause an increase in the acceleration of the earth. This is called the development of topographic amplification. The greatest acceleration usually occurs at the top of the slope or near the line of hills.
Liquefaction:
Can not be the movement of earthquake waves through the earth produces liquefaction. During this process, and the shaking causes the lower area of ??the pores. High density of pore pressure increase in the ground. Granular materials are changed to the flow of slides that are fast and can be very devastating.
Landslide warning technology:
And the physical destruction and loss of life caused by landslides fears of many people. So, put the sensors that are used for landslide warning and detection by monitoring the slope, displacement, and rainfall, and flow. A careful analysis of these data help to identify weaknesses and pressure of underground water. Data on the rate of movement of the slide are available that can predict the state of the landslide. Geotechnical analysis can, including the study of the stability of the slope, and seismic behavior, and assessment of the site is useful to provide early warning of a landslide. Sensors can also provide early information about severe weather, and slope conditions that are unsafe.
