...cities might be dangerous; · include analysis of the level of dangers in different cities; · support your answer with evidence from Pompeii, Ostia and Herculaneum. [45] There were few ways in which people could come under harm in ancient Rome as though it was not as developed as the world we live in now, there was still order. The events that would cause people to feel in danger were natural disasters, riots, fires, floods, and rarely an attack by a killer whale. Pompeii and Herculaneum suffered the most from natural disasters. They were struck by two severe events, one of which causing the demise of both cities. The first of which was the earthquake in AD 62, which cause widespread damage. The epicentre of this earthquake was more towards Pompeii but it was felt for miles, even causing damage in Ostia. The damage that the earthquake caused can still be seen in Pompeii as the some findings are still in a state of repair. Because of this earthquake, buildings such as Insula blocks were limited to two stories in their repair. This was so any further earthquakes wouldn’t cause damage to the same extent. The second, and more important natural disaster to strike the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum was the eruption of mount Vesuvius in AD 79. The effects of this disaster were devastating. The ash from this eruption left the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum covered in ash for thousands of years and killed anyone who was still in their homes at the time of the eruption. The...

...is on human adaptation and the physical effects on the landscape. The TEKS appreciate how volcanoes have shaped our world historically and geographically. For this reason, I believe the TEKS want us to show our students the impact of volcanoes. I believe that by integrating the subject of volcanoes with science and history, the geography study of volcanoes will be enhanced. I believe that students need to understand how volcanic eruptions have impacted the Earth’s people. They need to understand what makes a volcano erupt and what the resulting eruption does to the Earth. In our slides from Dr. Pohl in SOSE 3310, Dr. Pohl states in his “Physical Geography” PowerPoint slide that, “There are four processes which have shaped the earth, Earthquakes, Floods, Volcanoes, and Erosion. The four processes have created mountains, lakes, islands and have caused tremendous amounts of damage” (Pohl, Slide #13). Dr. Pohl teaches us that the actual creation of the landscape on Earth was developed by these strong forces of...

...A moment frozen in time. People, animals, plants, and even an entire city perfectly preserved and halted in a split second. What great force could cause such an event? None other than the angry fire of Mount Vesuvius. The town of Pompeii was not destroyed, but merely covered and left hidden in the dust of the Earth for centuries. Mount Vesuvius' mysteries can be unraveled by looking at the volcanoes history, the destruction of Pompeii, and the present danger it poses to the world. Located in Italy, Mount Vesuvius is the only volcano active on Europe's mainland. Vesuvius is just one volcano in a large region of them known as the Campanian Volcanic Arc. This group of volcanoes formed over the subducted area between the African and Eurasian...

...Vesuvius located in Naples, Italy. Mount Vesuvius is an activity complex stratovolcano. Mount Vesuvius rest on a tectonic boundary, which is bounded between the African and Eurasian plate. The seismic activity of earthquakes and heat from the Earth’s mantle layer builds up a lot of pressure inside the mountain. The mountain offends shows signs of the pressure built by releasing a stream of steam. When the pressure stored gets beyond the mountain ability to holds, the result an eruption of ash and rocks. As it discharges out volcanic ash and rocks, the plate’s tear allowed the lava a path to escape upwards and out...

...Since I have had the pleasure of experiencing Pompeii itself and the exhibit recently at the Cincinnati Museum of History on August 12, 2012. I would be partial to take you on a personal tour of Pompeii and its exhibit as I saw it. On this expedition I plan to bring the realism of the daily life and culture of the once lively and exuberant populous of Pompeii. Pompeii was an ancient city, located on the south westerner coast of Italy, about a 45-minute train ride southeast of today’s Naples. Here are some of the things that I saw that the scientist found in Pompeii. The first one was of a man and they said that he was in a gymnasium with his back to the wall and knees were up when the eruption happened. He had his face in his hand he might have know what would happen and that he could not get out. This is sad that people had to die this way. The exhibit included ten (10) body casts from Pompeii. There was also a dog he was left chained up and you could see that he had a collar on. The other thing that I saw was a large fresco that was in a house. There was a place in the middle that had a hole where some thing was there. It was beautiful thing to see. The person that did this they knew how to draw and paint. They also found pots and serving dishes in the houses also. They also had some of the money that they found. There were a lot of things that I saw but the best thing that I saw was a bracelet that a girl slave wore. It looked like a snake and on the inside of it said...

...a Tasnima Bhuiyan Ancient History HSC notes Core study; Cities of Vesuvius- Pompeii & Herculaneum 1. Geographical context Physical environment: geographical setting, natural features and resources of Pompeii and Herculaneum Geographical setting Pompeii and Herculaneum were located in Campania, southwest Italy near Bay of Naples. Herculaneum was a waterfront town situated on the coast of Bay of Naples 7km west of Mt Vesuvius, while Pompeii was slightly inland on the Sarno river, 9km southeast of Mt Vesuvius. Both towns were linked to Rome through sea and land routes. Natural features Campania was a fertile plain with two main rivers. Nearby there was a 15km wide series of craters, where pools were filled with boiling mud and vents, from which sulphur and steam could escape. The towns were popular because of their rich volcanic soil, coastal area for fishing and trading area. Resources of Campania The production of olive oil was used for cooking, and as the basic ingredient for perfume. Wine, wool and textile productions took place, along with the fishing industries including the production of fish sauce. There were fruits such as peaches, apricots, lemons & vegetables like cabbages and onions, and volcanic material was used for building and paving roads. Plans and streetscapes of Pompeii and Herculaneum ▪ streets of Pompeii vary greatly in width from 2.4m to roughly 7m ▪ streets & roads divide towns into neat rectangular...

...Another key part to the warfare hypothesis is the possibility of external conflict, or as Webster calls it “foreign invasions” (2002:228). It can be seen throughout history, in various parts of the world, outside conflicts with neighboring people can cause a civilization to fall. Some proponents to the warfare theory support the idea that it was perhaps “’foreigners’, usually conceived to be Mexicans and/or Mexicanized Maya from the Gulf Coast zone” that exerted pressure on the Lowland Maya which led to the end of the Classic Maya people (Webster 2002:229). This hypothesis is supported by archeological finds at sites like Seibal. At Seibal, the style of art, pottery, and iconography dating about A.D. 800 has “non-Classic Maya” elements that differ from older works at the same site (Webster 2002:229). With this, Archaeologists inferred that Seibal had been taken over and thus the invader’s influence spread throughout the site. As with the previous hypotheses the invasion theory does not account for other factors of the Classic Maya collapse....

A geohazard is a risk of a normally happening occasion will negatively affect people. This negative impact is the thing that we call a natural disaster. Among the natural hazards and possible disasters to be considered are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, landslides, subsidence, floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes and asteroid Impacts. According to Parfitt and Wilson (2008), volcanic eruption can display an extensive range of hazard to both people and properties. One of world famous volcanic eruption was the eruption...

...Earth Science: Volcanoes Report by: Kenneth Ragragio What is Volcanoes? * Volcanoes are vents that allow lava, rock fragments and gases to escape from layers beneath the earth's surface. Learn how volcanoes form both on land and underwater and why they erupt. * Volcanoes are spectacular events and because of this, they have found their way into the plot of many Hollywood movies. While the movies have given most of us the vivid image of red-hot lava spewing out of the top of a towering volcano, they do not share the entire story of volcanoes Magma and Lava * So what exactly is a volcano? Well, it can be defined as a vent in the earth's crust through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor and gases are ejected. In other words, a volcano is the earth's way of letting off a little steam. * The super-heated particles that eject out of a volcano come from deep below the earth's surface where temperatures can become so hot that rock actually melts. Magma is the term used to describe this hot molten rock from deep within the earth. * A volcano begins to form when magma, which is less dense than the rock it originated from, rises toward the earth's surface. This liquid rock collects in chambers called 'magma chambers,' where pressure builds due to expanding steam and gases associated with the magma. As pressure reaches a peak within these chambers, magma finds its way through a vent or fissure in the earth's surface, resulting in a volcanic eruption and the expulsion...

...Supernatural: The Life of William Branham Book 6: The Prophet and His Revelation 1960 – 1965 by Owen Jorgensen 1 Acknowledgments: In a project of this magnitude, it is understandable that I should owe many people a debt of gratitude for their help. First of all I want to thank Pearry Green for his vision, his encouragement and his efforts in publishing and distributing these books. I also want to thank Saundra Miles, David Buckley, Jay Weber, and the other people who spent many hours editing and proof reading the six manuscripts in this series. Their suggestions helped to make this a better book and a more accurate account of William Branham‘s life. Also, I want to thank Steven and Kathy Strooh, who put these books into audio format for all those people who would rather listen than read. I must certainly thank those people who have translated these books into their native languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Russian, Norwegian, Hindi, and many other languages. Supernatural: the Life of William Branham took me 17 years to complete. I was 34 when I started and 51 when I finished. To put that into perspective, my four children were in grade school when I began writing this biography. By the time I finished, three of my children were married and I had nine grandchildren. During the 17 years I worked on this project, my life had its ups and downs. I want to thank everyone who prayed for me during those 17 years. Finally I want to thank my four children—Benaiah...
