Flood in cumbria
Download as DOC, PDF0 likes567 views
A flood hit Cumbria, England in November 2009, killing over 1000 people. The whole region experienced unprecedented flooding as warm, moist air was carried over from the Azores and heavy rain fell steadily for 34 hours. Rivers overflowed their banks in Cockermouth, causing significant flooding. This rare disaster was likely exacerbated by global warming trends, as warmer air and seas cause more intense storms and heavier rainfall. If climate change continues unchecked, more natural disasters can be expected in the coming years.

Floods, tornados, and drought are among the major hazards facing Kentucky according to the document. Floods are the most common hazard, especially in eastern areas near mountains. Precipitation is predicted to increase by up to 50% in some seasons according to climate models, exacerbating flood risks. Tornados can occur anywhere in the state and have been increasing in frequency and damage amounts. Drought is also a risk, as less precipitation would reduce water supplies from reservoirs, particularly impacting Lexington and Franklin. Hurricane remnants can cause heavy rainfall and potential flooding. Winter storms and forest fires pose lesser risks but could increase with climate change.

The document discusses the causes and evidence of climate change. It notes that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat in the atmosphere. The Keeling Curve shows rising carbon dioxide levels since 1958. Ice cores provide evidence of past climates, showing that carbon dioxide levels were highest in warm periods and lowest in cold periods. Melting ice and rising sea levels also provide evidence of global warming. Climate change is predicted to significantly impact regions like the Arctic and Iceland. Areas like Bangladesh, Mali, and the US have experienced extreme weather events linked to climate change. Solutions proposed to mitigate climate change include using renewable energy, creating carbon sinks, and sustainable community development.Crowsnest Fire Presentation

The Lost Creek Fire that started on August 21, 2003 in the Crowsnest Pass Municipality burned over 20,000 hectares of land, forcing the evacuation of residents who could only watch as their homes burned in the intense 50-meter-high flames. While timber and tourism were negatively impacted, some local businesses saw steady customers, and Spray Lake Sawmills profited from obtaining salvage rights to 28% of the burned timber. The fire created environmental impacts like inhibiting undergrowth but would allow for natural forest regeneration over time.Uteach Effects Global Warming

The document discusses the potential impacts of climate change around the world and in specific regions. Some key impacts that could occur globally include increased risks of food insecurity, water scarcity, and extreme weather events. Developing nations are expected to face greater challenges in adapting to climate change impacts. Specific regions may experience threats such as sea level rise endangering coastal communities, shifts in agricultural production, increased disease prevalence, and disruptions to water supplies from glacier melting. Bangladesh is highlighted as one country particularly vulnerable to climate change due to its low-lying geography and population density.Global Warming

Global warming refers to the average increase in Earth's temperature caused by both natural factors and human activities like burning fossil fuels. The main greenhouse gases that cause global warming are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. As global temperatures rise, the impacts are widespread and include melting ice sheets and glaciers, more extreme weather, droughts, and effects on plant and animal species. While global warming is already occurring, individual actions like driving less, improving home energy efficiency, and reducing waste can help mitigate the problem.British weather

The climate of the UK is variable with frequent changes that make weather difficult to forecast. While it is often described as rainy, it does not rain all the time, with the wettest months being September through January. Summers are generally mild but becoming warmer due to climate change, and winters are also mild except for more snow in Scottish highlands. The UK climate is influenced by the Gulf stream, keeping temperatures higher than other areas at similar latitudes.Fcase study: aqa gcse geography the challenge of natural hazards: 2009 cumbri...

The 2009 Cumbrian floods were caused by extremely heavy rainfall over a short period of time, with some areas receiving over 31 cm of rain in 24 hours. This extreme rainfall overwhelmed the drainage systems and caused rivers, including the Derwent and Cocker, to burst their banks. Over 1,300 homes were flooded and damaged, businesses were affected, bridges and roads were damaged, and one person died. The flooding had long-term economic and social impacts on the region. Since then, flood management strategies have been put in place, such as new flood walls, river dredging, and raised embankments, to help mitigate future flooding risks in the area.Intro To Glaciation

The document discusses how glaciers and ice ages are connected to the UK. During the last ice age, huge ice sheets covered much of the UK, with ice being up to 2 miles deep. The landscape of Britain was shaped by the erosion of these ice sheets as they advanced and retreated over thousands of years. We may currently be in an interglacial period within the ongoing ice age. Factors that can influence ice ages include changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation as well as decreases in the sun's energy reaching the Earth.Letter (3)

This warming will cause ice caps to melt and sea levels to rise, oceans to become more acidic which harms agriculture, and issues like droughts and floods in the US. The letter argues that agricultural practices that release methane from cows eating corn are disrupting the climate, and this methane and nitrous oxide from cow waste harm the environment more than carbon dioxide.

Global warming is caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. This traps heat and has increased the earth's average surface temperature between 0.4 to 0.8 degrees Celsius. Some impacts of global warming include melting glaciers and ice sheets, rising sea levels, shifting animal populations, and stronger storms. If warming continues unchecked, it could lead to more severe consequences like widespread food and water shortages this century. Reducing emissions through measures like using renewable energy and more fuel-efficient vehicles can help mitigate the effects of climate change.Weather British Weather And Climate

Global warming is causing the five warmest years on record to be the last five years according to the EPA. This is melting ice and causing sea levels to rise. To stop these bad things from continuing and worsening, we need to reduce CO2 emissions by reducing energy usage through using more efficient light bulbs and appliances, recycling aluminum cans, buying locally sourced food to reduce transportation emissions, and transitioning away from gasoline which produces 20 pounds of greenhouse gases for every 6 pounds burned.The climate of UK

The volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was the most powerful explosion in recorded history, killing over 36,000 people and destroying 160 villages with an eruption ten thousand times more powerful than the atomic bomb. Earthquakes occur when tectonic plates rub against each other, capable of destroying cities and moving mountains, such as the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that toppled buildings and sparked fires that burned most of the city. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake of magnitude 6.3 caused many buildings to collapse, killing between 175 and 200 people and requiring the rebuilding of the central city.Ch 3, section 2 Climate

The climate change refers to changes in modern climate caused primarily by global warming due to high levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. It affects the poles the most where temperatures are rising quickly, melting ice and snow, and also impacts mountains. The effects include a rise in sea levels of over 10 meters from melting poles that could flood coastal cities, changes in rainfall that may lead to droughts, and mass death of plants and animals potentially resulting in food shortages and loss of human lives. The primary causes are pollution that is increasing sun's heat on earth, destruction of the ozone layer, and wasteful energy usage.3 Global warming is real mrj

Global warming is real and is having significant impacts around the world. Average global temperatures have risen 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, with the hottest decades and years occurring in the late 20th century. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the world, causing sea ice and glaciers to rapidly disappear. Extreme weather events like hurricanes, wildfires, and heat waves are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. If emissions are not reduced, global warming poses severe threats to both the environment and human societies.Cumbria Flooding

The 2009 flood in the River Derwent, Cumbria was caused by both physical and human factors. Physically, warm moist air dropped over 400mm of rain in 24 hours, breaking the UK record, which was too much for the ground to absorb. This caused overflow that rapidly filled streams and rivers like the Derwent and Cocker. At their confluence, high discharges combined to cause flooding in Workington. Human factors were urbanization increasing impermeable surfaces and faster water flow into rivers, and blocked or inadequate sewers in towns like Cockermouth and Keswick that caused flooding.Millinial Scale

1) Solar activity, with periods of lower sunspot activity corresponding to "Little Ice Ages" and higher activity to warm periods like the Medieval Warm Period. However, solar activity does not correlate with warming since 1975.
2) Orbital cycles known as Milankovitch cycles, which cause ice ages and warm interglacial periods over 100,000 year cycles.
3) Large volcanic eruptions, which eject aerosols that reflect sunlight and cause short-term global cooling lasting several years.
4) Ocean circulation patterns, with changes potentially causing Europe to be 6-8°C cooler during glacial periods due to reductions in theClimate Change And Natural Disasters

The document discusses natural disasters throughout history and how climate change may impact their frequency and intensity in the future. It outlines different types of natural disasters and provides examples from the past. It then explains the mechanisms through which greenhouse gas emissions and rising temperatures could alter atmospheric and oceanic conditions in a way that aggravates natural disasters. This includes increasing sea surface temperatures that fuel stronger hurricanes, and changing precipitation patterns that may lead to more floods or droughts. The document ends by discussing how the media raises awareness of natural disasters and their links to climate change through movies and documentaries.Shashank

Global warming is caused by an enhanced greenhouse effect trapping heat in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas levels like carbon dioxide and methane have increased significantly since the industrial revolution due to human activity. This additional heat in the atmosphere is causing the planet to warm, with the last century seeing surface temperatures rise 0.6-0.9 degrees Celsius. Continued warming is projected to increase temperatures 2-6 degrees Celsius by 2100 and cause serious consequences like rising sea levels displacing millions of coastal inhabitants.Alternative Energy 1

Long and Short Term Changes of Climate discusses various factors that cause changes in climate over both small and long terms. Small-term changes are caused by volcanic eruptions, small variations in solar radiation, and shifts in air and ocean currents. Long-term changes are influenced by changes in Earth's energy balance, orbital variations, glacial activity, plate tectonics, and human influences like fossil fuel usage. The document also discusses how climate change can affect animals and ecosystems, as well as how scientists monitor and study climate change.Gem ppt-12-climate change

Global warming is caused by greenhouse gas emissions trapping heat in the atmosphere. It has led to increased average global temperatures by 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Some effects of global warming include more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and threats to plant and animal species. While some recent data shows ice gain in parts of Antarctica, scientists agree this is actually caused by global warming through ocean warming and increased freshwater runoff from melting glaciers diluting sea water and allowing it to freeze more easily. Overall, the scientific consensus remains that global warming poses severe risks to both human and natural systems.Latest climate science Implications for Wales Met Office September 2013

Flood in cumbria
- 1. Flood in Cumbria: A flood hit Cumbria (Cockermouth) on the 19th of November 2009. Many residents were affected and over 1000 were killed in this tragic event. Cumbria which is in the north west of England had a much unexpected flood because it was very rare that you would get a flood in this part of the world. The whole of Cumbria was raided by this horrific flooding and many had to be evacuated. People were waiting in their homes in order to be rescued and put into shelter. The flood also damaged economical factors such as electricity. This is because floodwater submerged many substations and had dented overhead lines. Thus, they needed money to rebuild this again which, of course was another hard situation. Food defenses could also not cope because as the town was not prepared for this disaster, they didn’t have any supplies with them. They cannot gain any physical access because of all these causes. But the real question is: how did it happen: well, Three factors cause heavier storms as the climate heats up. As it gets hotter, more energy is injected into the climate. There is a sharper contrast between land and the sea (which warms more slowly), causing stronger winds and greater instability. And as the seas do heat, more water evaporates from them – and comes down as heavier rain. This suggests that global warming is occurring faster than anyone expected. But why did it exactly happen? First a ‘conveyor’ of warm, very moist sub-tropical air was carried towards Britain from the south of the Azores. Warm air rises over the Cumbrian Mountains, cools and condenses as heavy rain. Warm ‘conveyor’ stuck over Cumbria for 34 hours. Steady downpour maintained. The heavy rain enters region’s rivers. Finally, significant flooding at confluences of rivers in Cockermouth. This all leads back to global warming and this can make people reflect back on not polluting the air. If this continues, millions of natural disasters will be taking place towards the coming year’s head of us.
