how the plates and the continents are pushed and pulled around the earth’s surface to form mountains, volcanoes, and the distributions of the earthquake The earth is made up of shells that are divided into several plates that glide over the mantle, which is the rocky layer above the core. This theory describes how the plates and the continents are pushed and pulled around the earth’s surface to form mountains, volcanoes, and the distributions of the earthquake. These plates are made up of lithosphere.  The plates meet and form a plate boundary where a different geological activity such as mountain building and earthquake occurs. There are three forms of plate tectonics. Each of the plate tectonics differs in the way in which the glides move. One of the forms is the divergent or constructive plate boundaries. Here, a crust is produced when the tectonic plates move away from each other. When it occurs in a continent, the magma rises to cause it to become thinner and split to form a crust, which creates an ocean between the continents. The second…

Reasons for High Death Toll in Haiti 2010 Earthquake In our contemporary society, natural disasters are a common phenomenon that leads to increased poverty rates with reduced economic growth within a nation. Natural disasters can be as a result of human interference with nature or nature-oriented. Poverty, on the other sides, can be a significant source of hazards within a nation. The inability of a country to oversee the impacts of debt to its surroundings is one reason for the emergence of uncontrollable disasters. Efficient government implementation of its strategies regarding poverty cases may reduce the immense consequences arising from the occurrence of natural disasters. Haiti was termed as one of the poorest countries within the western hemisphere as a result of earthquake occurrence on January 12, 2010. The deadly tremor was caused more by human factors compared to geological reasons. About 230,000 lives were lost, and over 300,000 homes were damaged and destroyed in Port-au-Prince city, the capital metropolis of Haiti. Back then, the city was recognized as the most growing town with a demanding population. The quake killed…

Voodoo in the New World Religion is described as a sociocultural system with designated practices and behaviors, worldviews, morals prophecies, sanctified places, organizations, and ethics. All aspects of religion relate human beings to transcendental, supernatural, and spiritual aspects. Distinct religions are found to involve or not include multiple aspects that range from sacred things, divine faith, or a supernatural being. The practices of religion may involve sermons, rituals, veneration, festivals, trances, ceremonies, prayer, dance, among other practices. Generally, religions possess sacred narratives and histories that are found in symbols, scriptures, and holy places. Religion was highly used during the quest for freedom and independence from multiple colonialists, especially in the Americas. This paper explores Voodoo religion in Haiti by looking at how Africans kept practicing their religion regardless of the massive resistance from the French administration. Voodoo is also referred to as Haiti Vodou and also written as Vaudou. It is a religion that is based in the West African region, but it is primarily practiced in Haiti as well as the Haitian diaspora. The people following and practicing voodoo…

This is what made him kill people, including women and children, even though it is morally wrong. Furthermore, even his confession has got a religious significance. He says that it was an emphasis through the Holy Spirit to carry his assignment. This paper will discuss the way turner uses religion to justify his rebellious actions. To justify his actions, Nat says that he had a vision where he saw white and black spirits engaged in a battle, where the sun was darkened, and the thunder rolled in the heavens.  He saw blood flowing in the stream, and there he heard a voice saying, such is his luck which he was called to see coming whether rough or smooth and that he must bear it.

Level of preventions Preventions exist in three levels, which are primary, secondary, and tertiary. These terms have often been used in preventing and control health problems; they can as well be used in disaster preparedness and management. Disaster usually exists in three phases, with pre-impact being the period before the catastrophe. Pre-impact is the period when preparation and management take place. During disasters, the government and health department can intervene by providing drills towards disaster preparedness by discussing with community members how to improve at this time (Falkner, 2018). The other phase is the impact phase, a stage in which there is the actual occurrence of the disaster. Search, and rescues occur in this phase with a focus on survival. Medical care is also initiated. The final stage is the post-impact phase, which starts after the actual disaster. In this phase, medical care and rescue are critical and recovery, which can last for months commence here. The primary level can involve the construction of hospitals and safer buildings like the 2010 Haitian Earthquake (Nesbitt & Miks, 2019). At the secondary…

Auditing question The 10-k filing, as well as the annual reports of the TL Company, were analyzed. This retail catalog works with its own independent distributors as well as franchisees across the globe. It mainly deals in the sale of premium quality apparel footwear for men, women, and sometimes children. Just like any other company, the TL Company has adopted various depreciation methods for its property and equipment. Mainly the company uses the straight-line depreciation method where it charges an equal amount for the depreciation of every asset in the various accounting periods. The amount charged remains the same until the asset in question gets reduced to nil. The second depreciation method used by the company is the diminishing balance method, where a fixed percentage of depreciation is the one charged after each accounting period. This continues until the net balance is realized, which is the value of an asset that remains after deducting the accumulated depreciation. The third method used in the calculation of depreciation is the double declining balances method where depreciation is charged on the reduced value…

Contract and the Act of God Clause Sixty days after the contract is signed, the vendor’s plant is flattened by a tornado. What are your options? In this situation, I have three options. First, I can delay fulfilling the obligation of the contract. Second, I can fail to fulfill the obligation of the contract (US Legal, n.d.). Third, I can fulfill the obligation of the contract. All these three options are legal excuses in contracts that have been affected by the Acts of God. Can you cancel the contract? Yes, I cancel a contract once a tornado flattens the vendor’s plant. However, I can only cancel if the other party; that is, the vendor has been rendered unable to fulfill his/ her obligations to the contract (Kelleher, 2005). In my case and as a purchasing agent of the company, I can cancel the agreement between the company and the vendor if the tornado has rendered the latter (vendor) unable to deliver the remaining widgets in the subsequent months. What clause do you need to protect your options in this case?…
