Natural Hazards in the Ocean

چکیده
Over 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. The seafloor beneath oceans a dynamic, active environment, and where we find several important natural hazards, including underwater landslides, earthquakes, tsunami. Some events that happen in ocean can have huge impact on land are dangerous to people live near coastlines. To understand how why these hazards happen, must know what happening at seafloor. Unfortunately, about 75% has still not been mapped. In this article, will describe causes out more them.

Natural hazards in Australia: heatwaves
As part of a special issue on natural hazards, this paper reviews the current state of scientific knowledge of Australian heatwaves. Over recent years, progress has been made in understanding both the causes of and changes to heatwaves. Relationships between atmospheric heatwaves and large-scale and synoptic variability have been identified, with increasing trends in heatwave intensity, frequen...
متن کاملNatural hazards in Australia: droughts
Droughts are a recurrent and natural part of the Australian hydroclimate, with evidence of drought dating back thousands of years. However, our ability to monitor, attribute, forecast and manage drought is exposed as insufficient whenever a drought occurs. This paper summarises what is known about drought hazard, as opposed to the impacts of drought, in Australia and finds that, unlike other hy...
متن کاملNatural hazards in Australia: floods
Floods are caused by a number of interacting factors, making it remarkably difficult to explain changes in flood hazard. This paper reviews the current understanding of historical trends and variability in flood hazard across Australia. Links between flood and rainfall trends cannot be made due to the influence of climate processes over a number of spatial and temporal scales as well as landsca...
متن کاملNatural radioactivity in ceramic tiles and associated radiological hazards
Background: The natural radioactivity levels in ceramic tiles produced in Turkey were determined and the related radiological hazards were assessed. Materials and Methods: The natural radioactivity levels (226Ra, 232Th and 40K) in the ceramic tiles were measured using high-purity germanium detector system (HPGe) and the related radiological hazards were assessed by radium equivalent activity (R...
متن کاملNatural Radiocarbon Distribution in the Deep Ocean
We present for the first time objectively mapped natural radiocarbon (14C) abundance in the global deep ocean using mostly new measurements from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE). Compared to earlier data from the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study, the new data number almost seven times more. Also, the WOCE data collected during the 1990s have sufficient spatial coverage to make obje...
