ENORMOUS POWER OF MOTHER NATURE – 1080p HD – EPIC PROPORTIONS of IT! Videos like this makes me think how small and weak are we in the hands of our planet and solar system..!

Interesting article:

Welcome to the brand new site dealing with natural hazards. We created this page just for you bearing in mind that it could be the first time you face particular phenomenon. Although we covered and explained some facts about the nature in the easiest way we hope that even professionals will find something new and interesting.

Trying to broaden the knowledge and reveal some unknown details about these dangerous events our Think Quest team has put forward most thrilling natural hazards’ guide, which shows the amazing from behind. This project is also a kind of statement which reminds that the weather is unpredictable and even the most complicated machines are incapable of warning of every single oncoming danger.

For those readers who are unfamiliar with some scientific terms we provided a little dictionary containing explanations of harder words. In case we still have not satisfied your curiosity we added a couple of links to similar web pages. We hope that our work will help you to understand the nature and in a way feel safer than before. Thank you for visiting and to hearing from you soon

What is tsunami ?

A tsunami is a series of waves that occur in an ocean or other large body of water and that are caused by some activity that displaces large amounts of water. Tsunami is the Japanese word for "harbor wave."

Tsunamis are caused by thrust-type submarine earthquakes, submarine volcanic eruptions, slumps, meteor impact, or coastal landslides.

Although it's relatively rare event, since 1992 tsunamis have claimed about 2000 lives worldwide.

Greenhouse effect

The glass in the greenhouse allows the short wave radiation to go through. When those waves reach the plants, ground and different objects change them into long wave radiation, which is heat. The long wave radiation goes up, but the glass keeps it inside and later on the temperature in the greenhouse rises.

Earth works on the same principles. Instead of the glass we have atmosphere with the mixture of gasses e.g. water vapour and carbon dioxide. Those gasses are responsible for reflecting the heat back to Earth (usually 95% of the long wave radiation goes into space).

Until 20th century we didn’t have problems with high concentration of the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. As the evolution of civilization and industry sped up, the use of coal and fuel also increased.

In March 5, 1993 World Meteorological Organization announced that, because of high concentration of carbon dioxide and other gasses after explosion of Pina Tubo volcano, 21% of heat is deflected instead of average 4%.

In the next years some scientists came to conclusion that there will be a big change in temperature. Some say that over the next century world’s average temperature will rise ranging from 3,8oC to 6,9oC. Such effect may cause dangerous changes in climate. For example polar glaciers can melt which in effect will rise coastal waters and flood some of the flat lands. It can also destroy the Gulf stream, which brings heat to Western Europe. If such an event happens in Great Britain in winter, weather would be similar to that in Greenland.
