The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.
An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.
The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.
Answer:
C. 579g
Explanation:
Use the formula Density= mass/ volume, make mass the subject of the formula and substitute the given values.
19.3g/cm3 is the density of gold
30cm3 is the volume for the piece of gold
Answer:
A bacteriophage is a type of virus that attacks bacteria. In the lytic cycle, the virus hijacks the cell machinery of the bacterium that it has infected. In the lysogenic cycle, the viral DNA is incorporated into the bacterial DNA.
Explanation:
Its a type of virus.
Answer: omega 3's
Explanation:
-combination of marine & food biotechnology
-polyunstaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)
-3 types in human physiology
->α-linolenic acid (ALA) - found in plant oils
->eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
->docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
-N-3 fatty acids have health benefits & are considered essential fatty acids, meaning that they cannot be synthesized by the human body - but are vital for normal metabolism
->table of dietary source of Omega-3
-->fish is commonly used but dangerous as you can contract mercury poisoning
