In the southern region of Los Diablos streets and freeways throughout the county suffered surface buckling and fractures due to widespread shaking from major super-quakes with partially severed bridges and freeway overpasses. The Badlands endure hundreds of aftershocks reverting deadly landslides leading to more destruction with people being entombed underneath the rubble, making rescues problematic. The mega tsunamis engulfed popular tourist attractions exterminating thousand within seconds as the cataclysm city is a concrete graveyard of countless skeleton bodies wedged in their vehicles and others scattered throughout the streets. Prophets predict a second angel would sound a trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, would …show more content…
Masato proceeds to the edge of a cliff overlooking the city of devils observing miles of demolished buildings and structures that were infested with evil creatures and supernatural beings. * The Carnivora Kingdom of Pongidae reigns within the Los Padres National Forest, forming various troops of gorillas are very hostile and aggressive with any trespassers. The troops live deep in the National Forest in large harems composed of massive structures with arches and ribs covered with white concrete shell tiles. The carnivorous gorillas are ruled under a feudal system armed with halberds, partisans, flamberges and flanged maces. The troops are led by the dominant males, who have jet-black skin and black hair with a broad silver, white saddle on the neck with each harem consisting of fifty gorillas most of them females. * It was a two-day journey to his district, province in the mountains, which was kept hidden away from the grips of the werwülfs and mutants traveling through the Valley of Death, which is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of trees and
Dia de los reyes magos is on Jan. 5 - Feb. 2 and the day is about the 3 wisemen, But January the 6th is the special day in Mexico….. this day represents the height of the Christmas season. This celebration is where it is stated that the kings, Melchor, Gaspar, and Balthasar, traveled by night all the way from the farthest confines of the Earth to bring gifts to Jesus, whom they recognized as the Son of God. As well as regal, the Three Kings are depicted as wise men, whose very wisdom is proved by their acknowledgement of Christ's divine status. Arrived from three different directions, the kings followed the light provided by the star of Bethlehem, which reportedly lingered over the manger where the Virgin Mary gave birth for many days. In
The destruction of their habitat and destruction are the two great threats to the gorillas. The places where they are found are poor and densely populated. The land that is set aside for gorillas is being taken over by agriculture. The wire traps that poachers set out for antelope usually end up catching gorillas instead. People kill them for their heads and hands as trophies. The western lowland gorilla is listed as an endangered species.

The traditions my parents instilled in me at a young age are important to me. They are part of my Latin culture and identity. One of the most important traditions that I value the most is our devotion to “La Virgen de Guadalupe” (The Virgin of Guadalupe), and although I don't go to church or share a specific a religion, I believe in La Virgen as a protector and a guardian figure and maintain her presence in my daily life.
Throughout the United States’ history, there have been numerous prominent civil rights groups, in which they have fought for individual rights of minority groups in the United States. Beginning in the 1960’s the Chicano Movement, or El Movimiento, became one of the more interesting civil rights movements, although, it is overshadowed by many of the more prevalent movements. At this time in the formation of the United States “the powers that be rule over a racist society, filled with hatred and ignorance. Our nation continues to be segregated along racial and economic lines,” expressed by Cesar Chavez. The Chicano Movement expanded the Mexican American Civil Rights Movement, giving a voice to those who otherwise did not have one. The movement

Before 1700, Californians lived in the mountains, deserts, and the coast. Natives who lived in mountains and valleys hunted deer, elk, bears, and other animals. They gathered acorns, berries, and seeds. People who lived near the coast ate fish, shellfish, seaweed, and sea mammals for food. Desert dwellers ate pinons nuts, yucca roots, and a cactus plant fruit. They adapted to the way of life in the mission. Mountain natives built houses from poles. They would bend the poles to make a cone shape. Desert dwellers would make their house from Adobe. Natives living near the coast make their houses out of straw.
From each, says the slogan, according to her ability; to each according to his needs. It was from the Bible, or so they said. St. Paul. in Acts.” The Commanders wear black to show their superiority, as they are the highest on the social ladder.
Before examining the Northridge event, understanding the naturally occurring hazard that is an earthquake will help to better understand exactly what happened and why it was such an important geological event. With four distinct layers, two layers, the crust and upper portion of the mantle, compose the skin that is the surface layer of the Earth. The crust is not a single, continuous piece. It is actually several different pieces, or plates, that come together to form the puzzle that comprises the surface of the Earth. These plates are in constant motion rubbing against one another. These areas, known as fault lines, where the plates rub up against one another have spots where one plate ”gets stuck while the rest of the plate keeps moving. When the plate has moved far enough, the edges unstick and is how most of the earthquakes around the world occur” (Wald, 2012). The energy stored from the friction of the two plate...
The mountain gorilla was first discovered roaming the Virunga Volcanoes in Rwanda (von Beringe, 2002, p.9). German Captain Robert von Beringe and his African soldiers stumbled upon two mountain gorillas around the volcanic region on October 17, 1902 (von Beringe, 2002, p.9). Von Beringe captured and killed one of them and sent the body to the Zoological Museum in Berlin, Germany. Professor Paul Matschie, who worked with the museum, identified the gorilla as a new class and named it after its founder: Gorilla beringei beringei (von Beringe, 2002, p.10). Twenty-three years later, American naturalist Carl Akeley persuaded King Albert of Belgium to turn a Belgian trust territory, near Rwanda, into a national park for the conservation of mountain gorillas. The Albert National Park, later named the Virunga National Park, was the first park established in Africa (Ngowi, 2002).
There are a lot of problems that mountain gorillas face in their habitat. First of all, habitat loss, where forests are replaced with farming lands so gorillas are forced to go up higher on the mountains to protect themselves from poachers (illegal hunters) and to guard their offspring. In addition that when a rebellion started in Rwanda in 1990, people escaped to the Parc National des Volcans (Volcanoes National Park) and because they needed nourishment to feed their families, people destroyed the rainforest by ...
Isn’t it weird when there is an odd figure in a museum, or an old extinct form of life that has never been seen before, for example? That is pretty much what the people of Pompeii have turned into. Mount Vesuvius in the southern part of Italy is dangerous to thousands of people who live around it, close to where it killed thousands of people in 79 A.D. The unlucky people who couldn’t make it out look like they were frozen in time because the ash fell and covered them. It also preserved their bodies. There were photos of them in a museum. In one, a mother was holding her baby, and in another, a man was on his knees holding his hands in front of his face (Colle, 1).Not only were the people covered in ash, but the entire city was. It went from a happy city to an ash covered pile of people and their things in less than two days. Pompeii is an unsafe place because Mt. Vesuvius is the most dangerous volcano, it killed thousands of people, and it is located near the largely populated city of Naples.
The Rifs, the indigenous tribes of Morocco had joined forces to fight this super power using guerrilla warfare that devastated the Spanish and French forces. Led by Abd al-Karim, the Rifs defeated the Spanish on their initial invasion and took control of large amounts of European weapons (Pletcher, 2008). The Rifs had been known for their fighting skills, knowledge of guerrilla warfare and marksmanship skills. The Rif army composed of roughly 80,000 men were ill equipped and unprepared to fight continuous battles against the Spanish and French armies. They found it very difficult to properly arm the entire army at once (“IHS Jane’s Sentinel”, 2012), so the Rif army had to rely on the survival skills and knowledge of the terrain to defeat the enemies they were faced with. Eventually, after collecting the weapons and equipment from the defeated Spanish and French soldiers, they could properly arm around 20,000 Rif soldiers. However, the weapons and equipment did not stay in good condition for long due to wear and tear of combat.
Earthquakes belong to the class of most disastrous natural hazards. They result in unexpected and tremendous earth movements. These movements results from dissemination of an enormous amount of intense energy in form of seismic waves which are detected by use of seismograms. The impact of earthquakes leaves behind several landmarks including: destruction of property, extensive disruption of services like sewer and water lines, loss of life, and causes instability in both economic and social components of the affected nation (Webcache 2).
It was fascinating for me to hear that the founder of the Zulu Nation, Shaka created a militarian society for his people by forming Zulu regiments called the amabutho and teaching young boys how to fight and become warriors. Because of this, the Zulus believed that in order to be a man in life, one needs to be a warrior, and one can start a family when their military services are completed. Seeing the concepts, however, of how the Zulus live reminded me of how the Spartans operated their militaristic ways in Greece. Even though the ...
