Here we will discuss Damage to infrastructure in the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Toussaint Louverture International Airport:

If we talk about the focus point of the Haiti earthquake that hit the Haiti on 12th january, 2010, then it was around 6 miles away from Toussaint Louverture International Airport.

Since the center was so near to airport that is why airport suffered from alot of damage. The control tower of the airport was almost completely destroyed due to which any radio communication became impossible. There was heavy power outrage due to damage caused to the power lines and due to this lightening system of the airport was completely shutdown. was damaged. However, the taxiways, runways and apron parts of the airport were operational at even that time of crisis.

Due to immense amount of damaged caused to Toussaint Louverture International Airport, all the relief bringing planes were diverted to other airports of the city.

The reconstruction and rehabilitation of the airport was started during 2010. It included the restoration and renovation of arrival and departure halls that were previously completely devastated. The renovation os falls included installation 16 new stations and three large baggage carousels and in the immigration room, There was also a significant explansion in the custom rooms.

However, the damage caused to Toussaint Louverture International Airport dur to 2010 Haiti earthquake is still considered as the destruction of major landmark due to earthquake.

Hope it helps!

Hi everyone!:) i just need help with this science question in my textbook!

Answer: In a simple sense, growth in population is a good thing as it means that a species is thriving and doing well in its environment as well as reproducing at desirable rates. However, if population continues and continues to grow it will eventually reach a cap where an environment can no longer hold more members of that specific species because there is a limit on food and places of shelter. This leads to natural rises and declines in a species over time (which can be very predictable as well.) A downside to rapid and sustained population growth is that if a species keeps growing and growing without reaching its cap (which happens a lot with introduced species into an environment which were not there naturally) is that they can overrun and destroy a natural environment and damage the ecosystem. Animals and species which are already there can have their population numbers drastically reduced because of this invasive species and may be forced to move to a new area.
