List Of Solar Storms
Solar storms of different types are caused by disturbances on the Sun, most often from coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar flares from active regions, or, less often, from coronal holes. Minor to active solar storms (i.e. storming restricted to higher latitudes) may occur under elevated background solar wind conditions when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) orientation is southward, toward the Earth (which also leads to much stronger storming conditions from CME-related sources). Background Active stars produce disturbances in space weather and, if strong enough, in their own space climate. Science studies such phenomena with the field of heliophysics, which is an interdisciplinary combination of solar physics and planetary science. In the Solar System, the Sun can produce intense Geomagnetic storm, geomagnetic and Solar particle event, energetic particle storms capable of causing severe damage to technology. It can result in large scale power outages, disruption or Com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
List Of Natural Disasters By Death Toll
A natural disaster is a sudden event that always causes widespread destruction, major collateral damage or loss of life, brought about by forces other than the acts of human beings. A natural disaster might be caused by earthquakes, flooding, volcanic eruption, landslide, hurricanes etc. To be classified as a disaster, it will have profound environmental effect and/or human loss and frequently causes financial loss. Ten deadliest natural disasters by highest estimated death toll excluding epidemics and famines This list takes into account only the highest estimated death toll for each disaster, and lists them accordingly. It does not include epidemics and famines. It does not include several volcanic eruptions with uncertain death tolls resulting from collateral effects such as crop failures; see List of volcanic eruptions by death toll. The list also does not include the 1938 Yellow River flood, which was caused by the deliberate destruction of dikes. Deadliest natural disa ...

List Of Landslides
This list of landslides is a list of notable landslides and mudflows divided into sections by date and type. This list is very incomplete as there is no central catalogue for landslides, although some for individual countries/areas do exist. Volumes of landslides are recorded in the scientific literature using cubic kilometres (km3) for the largest and millions of cubic metres (normally given the non-standard shortening of MCM) for most events. Prehistoric landslides Note: km3 = cubic kilometre(s) Submarine landslides Note: MCM = million cubic metres; km3 = cubic kilometre(s) Pre-20th-century historic landslides Note: km3 = cubic kilometre(s); MCM = million cubic metres 20th-century landslides 1901–1950 Note: km3 = cubic kilometre(s); MCM = million cubic metres 1951–1975 Note: km3 = cubic kilometre(s); MCM = million cubic metres 1976–2000 Note: MCM = million cubic metres 21st-century landslides 2001–2010 Note: m3 = cubic metre(s); MCM = million cubic metres 20 ...

List Of Floods In Sheffield
This is a list of floods in Sheffield, South Yorkshire'', England. Background Sheffield is located on the confluence of five major rivers (Don, Porter, Loxley, Rivelin, and the Sheaf), and is nestled in several hills. As a result, it is prone to flooding. *1864: A newly built dam, at Low Bradfield on the River Loxley, broke while it was being filled for the first time. An estimated 3 million m³ (700 million imperial gallons) of water swept down the Loxley Valley, through Loxley village and on to Malin Bridge and Hillsborough, where the River Loxley joins the River Don.
