Materials used can contribute towards structural rigidity. At times structures are not strong enough to support the load capacity because of the use of substandard materials during construction. This may fail when the load capacity is pushed to the limit. The collapse of a garment factory in Dhaka in 2013 can be taken as an example.
The global warming effect has also resulted in adverse weather patterns being experienced in different parts of the world today. Such adverse weather patterns include flooding like the one witnessed in China recently. Perennial flooding in different parts of the world has resulted in the destruction of properties and death in many cases.
The attacks were coupled by gun shell fire besides the use of bombs and grenades. The attackers attacked and captured eight locations. These locations include the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, Leopold Café, Oberoi Trident Hotel, Cama Hospital, Mumbai Chabad House, Nariman House, Metro Cinema and Rail Terminus.

Decades of intensive fishing of the Atlantic cod have led to a dramatic fall in stocks on both sides of the ocean. Scientists believe that we are currently fishing the supposed 10% that remains of the original North American populations, which are at risk of never being able to fully regenerate. Some populations are so reduced that they appear in lists of endangered species at risk of extinction.

The trend of global warming does not reflect the trend in urbanization, and therefore, the skeptic opinion that the current rate measurements of temperature rise are only a reflection of the rise in temperatures within urban areas is wrong since there could have been a consistency between rising global temperatures with increasing urbanization.
About three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered with water but most of it is very saline beyond human composition. Saudi Arabia is a mostly arid country hence has very limited water resources that can effectively support all the activities in that region. The population of the country is on the rise but the natural resources are highly depleted.
They are two natural causes of wildfires of which are lightning strikes and sun heat. Sun heat is most dangerous in hot and dry weather conditions. When it comes to humanity, human carelessness is the primary cause of wildfire startups. Some of the human careless activities include campfires, smoking, trash burning, as well as fireworks.

I will examine the relative attractions of a carbon tax and a “pure” cap-and-trade system. This desertion will show the various options are equivalent along more dimensions than often are recognized. In addition, it will bring out important dimensions under which the approaches have very different impacts.

An earthquake is a tremor that happens as a result of a sudden energy release that creates seismic waves in the earth’s crust. They occur anywhere in the world as long as there is enough elastic strain energy stored to drive fracture along fault planes. Once the faults have locked on to each other, there is an increase in stress and likewise, the strain energy stored in the surfaces of the faults.
