However, on the coast of Chinese mainland, tidal gauges did not record tsunami signals until at least 2 h after the Lamb wave arrivals. Theoretical analyses and numerical experiments both suggested that as a result of the incoming wave shoaling above the vast continental shelf of Chinese mainland...
such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the costly 2011 Tohoku tsunami. "Since South China hosts some of the busiest ports and sea lanes, the number of disrupted shipping routes would far exceed previous tsunami events. Given the lack of consideration given to tsunami impacts...
As evidence emerges describing the accumulation of small plastic particles in various organs and tissues of the body, a much deeper understanding of the effects of these particles on human health is urgently needed. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution Access ...
When disaster strikes, it can change the fabric of a society – often through the sheer loss of human life. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunamileft 35,000 childrenwithout one or both parents in Indonesia alone. The Black Deathkilled more than 75 million peopleworldwide andmore than a third of Eu...
The December 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia might serve as an example, although an asteroid-induced tidal wave might behave quite unexpectedly. If the rock struck land, it would dig out a crater 1.86 to 2.49 miles (3 to 4 kilometers) across and deeper than the Grand Canyon. Everything ...
Besides reporting on different observations of events with anti-correlated waveforms, we reviewed previously proposed models. Both observations and models illustrate the presence of two different scenarios. On one side, there are true anti-repeaters, which affect the same fault or fault segment with ...
Congress did not re-fund the low cost internet connection, so everyone who had this will have their bill go up $30. That may not seem much, but it is quite a lot considering this was for low-income households. The Service Providers are successfully lobbying the FCC about having deal with...
And in the aftermath of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan, a nuclear crisis raised fears about radiation and questions about the safety of nuclear power. Nuclear radiation can be both extremely beneficial and extremely dangerous. It just depends on how you use it. X-...
If you could take planet Earth and move it out into deep space so that the sun, moons and other planets did not affect it and there were no temperature variations worldwide, then everything would settle down like a still pond. Rain and wind would stop, and so would the rivers. Then ...
Often, the wages of ordinary workers become too low, relative to the cost of living. They rebel and overthrow their governments. Or central governments may collapse, as the central government of the Soviet Union did in 1991. This happened after oil prices were low for an extended period. ...
