“A tidal wave is a regularly reoccurring shallow water wave caused by effects of the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth on the ocean.”I hope this is what you meant by your question
(January 2011) Increasing disaster threats not only reflect the onset of events such as earthquakes or floods, but also the changing demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the population. A large, violent tornado, for instance, passing through an open field presents little danger. On the other hand, a relatively weak tornado can pose significant risks to human life and can result in great economic losses in densely populated areas. While the intensity is important, of equal or greater importance is the presence of a population whose demographic or socioeconomic characteristics may place its members at greater risk of harm before, during, and after a day
The "vulnerability" perspective in disasters, which is rapidly emerging as a dominant view in the field, assumes that a real disaster occurs when it strikes an underprivileged population. Vulnerability is formally defined as "the characteristics of a person or group and their situation that influences their capacity to anticipate, cope with, resist, and recover from the impact of a natural hazard."1 Implicit here is "differential vulnerability"; that is, different populations face different levels of risk and vulnerability. Consequently, policies aimed at addressing risk and vulnerability must also take into account these differential impacts and outcomes of disasters. Although the sources of vulnerability are multiple and quite diverse, some of the most important factors that affect vulnerability include population growth and distribution and social diversity.
Population Growth and Distribution
Population growth and distribution, especially increased population density and urbanization, increases vulnerability to disasters.2 Nearly 80 percent of the U.S. population resides in urban areas, resulting in increasing population concentration in coastal communities and flood-prone areas. Congestion, limited escape routes, dense infrastructure, and poverty add to the vulnerability. Cities and countries in other regions of the world face similar problems. For example, researchers argue that in countries such as China, urban earthquakes are more dangerous because of the density of the infrastructure.3 The growth of coastal populations, for instance, raises important concerns about increased human exposure to coastal flooding, hurricanes, and tsunamis.4 The organization of work and leisure around coastal areas in India was one of the factors that resulted in high rates of injuries and fatalities following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.5
social diversity
Answer:
Rift valleys are Formed from either from the action of tensional forces in the crust or from the action of compressional forces!
And they move due to the force of gravity!
The block mountain (horst) is left standing higher above the sunken graben!
<span>On 26 September, the Administrative
Commission assumed the title of Provisional Government, and two days later on
28 September, it set up a Central Committee. This Central Committee proclaimed
the independence of the "provinces of
Belgium" on 4 October 1830.</span> [1] Afterwards, the term
Provisional Government was increasingly used to refer to the Central Committee.
Apart from the Central Committee, there also were Special Committees for War,
Internal Affairs, Finance, Justice, Public Safety, and Diplomacy.
<span>The Provisional
Government exercised both executive and legislative power until 10 November 1830, when the National Congress met for the first time.</span>[1] <span>On 12 November it
formally returned its powers to the National Congress, which subsequently
decided to entrust executive power to the Provisional Government. It was
dissolved on 25 February 1831 after Erasme;
Baron Surlet de Chokier had been
appointed Regent by the National Congress.</span>
