A TERRIBLE VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN SPAIN

 


Our poor World suffers several natural disasters. These disasters not only affect the environment but also the humanity. Societies try to fight against these horrible problems with their technological opportunities. However, they may not prevent each disaster before it occurs.

There are many different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, avalanches, landslides, droughts and floods. They all have different influences on the societies. While some of the natural disasters cause deaths, some of them may only affect the people economically.

One of the most recent natural disaster is the volcanic eruption which occurred in Spain. This volcanic eruption began on 19 September 2021 at the island of La Palma. This volcanic eruption still continues today -on 13 November 2021-. Although the lava has reached the Atlantic Ocean after ten days it started, the eruption has not stopped yet. By the time lava have reached the Atlantic Ocean, the release of toxic gases has increased.

The eruption in Palma is the first disaster since 1971. The main cause of the volcanic eruption was the big earthquakes which occurred before this frightening disaster. Dozens of earthquakes have been occurred since the beginning of the disaster. Unfortunately, the earthquakes still continue at the very moment. Both the earthquakes and the volcanic eruption leads to a huge panic and chaos among the people in Spain.

The lava is about 1000 Celsius degrees, which creates an enormous danger for the citizens. As the speed flow of the lava is really fast, almost 1000 hectares have been covered with lava. Everyone has panicked and shocked due to this terrifying event. In total, 80 million cubic meters of lava have destroyed lots of people’s lives. About 3000 buildings have been destroyed. Nearly 7000 people have been evacuated as the volcanic eruption gives dreadful harm to everywhere. Therefore, many people have lost their jobs and sweet homes as well. Technically, they left their special memories behind…

This volcanic eruption has also affected the country economically. Not only the citizens but also some tourists have been affected badly due to this unpleasant circumstance, which influence the tourism sector and economy too. Due to the polluted air, a lot of flights have been cancelled. Many hectares of agricultural lands have been damaged, which leads to another serious impact in economics. According to the premier of the Canary Islands, more than 200 million euros have been lost because of the harm occurred.

In conclusion, the terrifying earthquakes have led to a dreadful volcanic eruption. The eruption influenced the society both spiritually and economically. As the eruption still continues, the panic among the people increases day by day. I hope that this natural disaster finishes as soon as possible…

APPLICATIONS OF PERMUTATION, COMBINATION AND BINOMIAL EXPANSION IN DAILY LIFE

  PREFACE Mathematics is a passion for me. Since I was a kid, I have always loved doing some calculations. While I am getting older day by day, my passion becomes much more than before. I hope that my passion will keep increasing. As I have started high school the topics that we learn in mathematics lessons are getting harder. Although the topics are harder than before, they become much more interesting. Therefore, I wanted to do a research about the applications of permutation, combination and binomial expansion in daily life. While doing the research, I have learned lots of new things about permutation and combination. I understood that there are lots of interesting examples about this topic. Actually, we always select and arrange some simple things, but we do not know that this concerns permutation and combination. By doing this project, I have recognized that mathematics is our life. Suzan R. Hofstede, 2021 SUMMARY Permutation of a set is the arrangement of its...

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS AND SOCIETIES: INTERNAL ASSESSMENT (IB)

  HOW DOES THE COUNTRIES’ -TURKEY, THE NETHERLANDS AND THE USA- SOLAR POWER USAGE CORRELATE WITH THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS? PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT Solar energy can be used for solar water heaters and house heating. The heat from solar energy enables the production of food, chemicals, textiles, and it can also be used in warm greenhouses, swimming pools, and livestock buildings. Furthermore, providing a power source for electronic devices and even cooking can be achieved by using solar energy [1] . Turkey is a country which might use the solar power energy efficiently. However, in our country, although the solar energy is used sporadically for hot water in domestic use and in some hotels in southern Turkey, we can state that it is not widely applied as a sustainable and a clean energy source. Unlike Turkey, the Netherlands uses the technological opportunities really well, even though the country does not have an extreme access of sun light [2] . On the contrary, United States ...

IMPLEMENTING A CHARACTER IN ONE STORY TO ANOTHER “MATILDA AND THE SEVEN DWARFS”

  PREFACE I really enjoy our English lessons, especially while analyzing lovely and entertaining texts or writing magnificent pieces. Nowadays we are studying “how to write a descriptive essay” which I like very much. While describing things I loved using personifications, similies and metaphors that makes the piece much more attractive. I would like to use the information in this project while describing the circumstances, the characters and the setting in my “implemented story”. While writing an “almost-new” story, I love using some characters or plots that are well-known and enjoyable. By using those well-known things, the story becomes much more interesting than ever! I am looking forward to write my own “implemented” story. Suzan R. Hofstede, 2021 INTRODUCTION I love literature, reading, writing and analyzing. Therefore, I love our literature lessons. While analyzing texts or writing some essays I absolutely have so much fun. In this project, my aim is to learn a...
