Miami State High School Year 8C - Natural Disasters Webquest and links Click to see the full size photo taken by Michael Bath. Instructions to groups. By now you have your disaster topic - and your group has been formed. You now need to assign roles. Remember that you need a 'Webmaster' (this person will put the page together - they will design the layout and 'look' of the page - they will also be responsible for uploading the page onto the school's web site). Other team members will be responsible for the research elements of the team's website (most will be looking for the best sites to link to - one will focus on finding the best image to go on the site (this person will need to write to the owner of the image for the appropriate permission). Your website should focus on providing the links to sites which will give the best help in such matters as: Describing and defining the disaster. Where does it occur? When does it occur? What damage is caused? How is it caused? What can we do to minimise its impact on humans? Can you find records of historical events regarding the incidence of this disaster?

Industry Info Legislation Mineral Rights Mining News Releases Permits Programs We Offer Publications Quarry Rights Related Sites Statistics Related Information Education Resources Ordering Information Publication Catalogue compiled by David Liverman, Martin Batterson and David Taylor A geological disaster occurs when natural geological processes impact on our activities, either through loss of life, injury, or economic loss. The Survey has compiled a historical record of geological disasters from a wide range of sources over several years of research. In the course of archival research any natural hazard that might fall in the area of geological phenomena was noted. Purely weather-related phenomena mostly are excluded, but major storms that cause considerable damage and loss of life, especially amongst the fishing community probably are the most significant natural hazard in the Province. Many of the disasters noted, are intimately associated with severe weather. Hazards noted include earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, rockfalls, avalanches and flooding. This record demonstrates that the province was affected by numerous geological disasters that inflicted a major economic and social cost. In Newfoundland and Labrador at least 160 people have been killed since 1783 in such incidents.

But when millions of flakes are added together on a steep mountainside and gravity has its way, the snow can become a destructive force: an avalanche. The most hazardous type is called a dry slab avalanche. When a weak layer in the snow cover can no longer support new layers of snow above, the crystalline structure collapses, sending the top layers down the slope. Bruce Temper, director of the Forest Service Utah Avalanche Center, has written a list of common questions and answers about avalanches. He says a slab avalanche is like a dinner plate sliding off a table with the victim caught in the middle of the slab. The risks of an avalanche increase during major snowstorms and periods of thaw. Temper said wind can gather up snow and deposit it 10 times faster than snow falling from storms. The makes wind the most common weather-related cause of avalanches.

86. Tajikistan 2002. Natural Disasters. In the period of 20012003, avalanches resulted in 10 deaths; in individual duststorms, hails, and other events assigned to natural disasters and causing http://www.grida.no/enrin/htmls/tadjik/soe2001/eng/htmls/disas/state.htm

O ne of the consequences of heavy rainfall is high floodwaters and mudflows , which are observed frequently in the foothills and mountainous areas of Tajikistan at the altitudes of up to 2,000 m. In high-altitude areas, floods can result from a break-through in temporary (glacial) lakes. Some 85% of Tajikistan’s area is threatened with mudflows and 32% of the area is situated in the high mudflow risk zone. A s a rule, high floodwaters are of a short-term nature, but cause huge damage to settlements and the national economy. As a whole, during 1960s-1990s, an increase in the number of days with disastrous floods was observed. During the period under research, the highest number of disastrous floods was observed in 1969, 1970, 1985 and 1988. Between 1991-2000, several disastrous floods were experienced in the republic in 1993 and 1998, which destroyed many sites (Rogun hydropower station dam under construction, roads, houses in Khatlon and Sogd regions) and huge damage was caused. T he southeast slopes of Gissar range, northern slopes of Turkestan range and southern slopes of Kuramin range are the areas with greatest flood activity, particularly in the basins of Yakhsu, Varzob, Vakhsh, Zeravshan and Obihingou rivers. The high-mountain area of the Eastern Pamirs and the lower reaches of rivers are not threatened with mudflows. The highest mudflow risk is in April and May. In foothills and middle mountains, the mudflow period occurs mainly in spring, while in high-altitudes in summer. Intensive precipitation is the main reason of mudflow formation (80%).
