Volcanic hazard

It was destroyed by lahar on November 13, 1985 in Armero, Colombia. The lahars swept down from the erupting Nevado del Ruiz volcano and "attacked" the houses, fields, and roads. The buildings were destoryed; trees and other facilities were blown away. Many people were died because of the lahars. It is showed that more than 23,000 people were killed.( frome the vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/Lahars)
Earthqaukes can cause buildings to collapse on people.

Falling Glass




Durring an earthquake, glass can fall and cut people. It can cause a lot of damage and deaths.

WOW !



This is a picture of a bus getting crushed by pieces of building after a large earthquake, this is hazardous because it can crush people.


fallin debrees are harmful to people on the street and can kill them

Air photo

This is an air photo of hurricane Katrina over New Orleans
This is a picture of a pyroclastic flow. It can be deadly if caught in its path as seen in this picture. It will cover you completly in ash, and hit you with flying debris like hot rocks,

Earthquake

This is a picture after an Earthquake in California in 1994. Many buildings are not able to withstand the force of an earthquake, so they may collapse, trapping, injuring or killing the occupants.

 Japan damage from aftershock. As you could see in the photo there is huge structural damage

Downtown Victoria



This aerial view of downtown Victoria could be helpful to a tourist.

air photo

this is an air photo of victoria harbour, would be useful to a tourist.

Ooo, Aaa...A Lahar!

This is a Lahar at Mt. St. Helen's during the eruption of 1982. A Lahar is dan
gerous due to the lava that flows down a path, and destroys everything in its way. Luckily, the lava flows slowly!
This is flowing magma which burns everything in its path



Houses are buried in ashes after the eruption of Chaiten volcano near Chaiten town located some 1200 km south of Santiego.

Volcanoes are very dangerous to towns as you can see by the photo.

hurricane



this hurricane is hurricane Katrina, scientist would use this to trackwho will get hit hardest.

Valcano

This is an exploding composite valcano. They can use this and study where the lava comes out of for next time.


TSUNAMI



One danger of earthquakes at sea is a tsunami. Tsunamis cause a lot of destruction and death.

Lava bombs

This is a picture of lava bombs. They can cut right through an object. They can be really big, or really small. They also can destroy buildings, cars, and more. Lava bombs are dangerous to people because they can kill you if they hit you.

Pyroclastic Flow




This is a pyroclastic flow. These type of eruptions can devestate anything in its path. The ash produced from it can change the climate and huge lava bombs are threatening to people.

Pyroclastic flows



This is a pyroclastic flow. It can burn people and destory forests.

Downtown Vancouver




This is an air photo of Downtown Vancouver in 1995. It was taken to show the progress of urbanization in Vancouver.

hurricane

Hurricane Irene

This is a satellite image of hurricane irene. Scientistds could use this to predict where the hurrican will hit next




This is an air image of the twin towers on 911.

This photo may be used by the US government for a better look at the attack.

Air photo-Butchart Gardens

This is an air photo of Butchart Gardens and it was taken on July 15th, 1995
This photo may show the tourists the entire view of the garden (the shape and area); maybe, the desgnier wants to use it to enlarge the garden.

HURRICANE KATRINA


This is a satellite image of Hurricane Katrina from 2005. Scientists might have used this to guess where the hurricane would go next.

Hurricane Irene


This is a satellite image of hurricane Irene. Scientists can figure out where the hurricane might travel next.

Hurricane Katrina



This satellite image is of Hurricane Katrina, which was formed on August 23, 2005. The image can help scientistist better predict where the hurricane is going, the size of it, and what force it has.

Night-time satellite image






This is an image of a night-time satellite image of the globe. This can help anybody to see which country is using the most electicity during evening time!
