How many marine biologist die?
It is difficult to provide an exact number, but like any profession, marine biologists face risks inherent to working in the field, such as accidents during research expeditions, encounters with dangerous marine life, or vessel-related incidents. However, the number of deaths among marine biologists is relatively low compared to many other occupations.
How many people die each year from landslides?
On average, around 4,500 people die each year due to landslides globally. The numbers can vary depending on the region and the occurrence of natural disasters. Efforts in mitigation and early warning systems have been implemented to reduce these numbers.
What is the tipping point year and number for the world's population?
In 2012 there were 7 billion people in the world. About 43% of Earth's land surface has been converted to agricultural or urban use.
By 2045 the population is expected to be 9 billion.
At that rate, current trends suggest that half Earth's land surface will be disturbed by 2025. To many people, this is disturbingly close to a global tipping point.
One way demographics affect housing prices is through income levels. Areas with higher average incomes tend to have higher housing prices due to increased demand and ability to pay. Additionally, population growth and age distribution can also influence housing prices by impacting supply and demand dynamics.

What is the cost of the damage from the earthquake in Haiti?
The exact cost of the damage from the earthquake in Haiti is not yet fully determined. However, it is estimated to be in the billions of dollars, given the widespread destruction of infrastructure, homes, and livelihoods. International humanitarian aid and support will be crucial in the recovery and rebuilding efforts.

What percentage of the population have Marshall syndrome?
Marshall syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, with a prevalence that is not well documented in the general population. It is estimated to occur in fewer than 1 in 100,000 individuals. This means that less than 0.001% of the population is affected by Marshall syndrome.
What is the biggest tidal wave ever recorded?
The two most famous (current) tsunamis are the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan and the 2004 Boxing Day (Sumatra) tsunami.
The greatest historical tsunami (a series of them) accompanied the explosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883.
Why did so many people die in the Haitian earthquake of January 2010?
The high death toll in the Haitian earthquake of January 2010 was due to a combination of factors, including poorly constructed buildings that collapsed easily, inadequate emergency response infrastructure, and limited access to medical care and supplies. Additionally, Haiti was already one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere, which exacerbated the impact of the disaster.
What is the largest us city in the world by population?
Chicago, Illinois but when the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers play at their home stadium, Nebraska becomes the 3rd largest city.
How much in percentage is CO2 in the air?
0.039% is the amount in the earth's atmosphere.
A:What is "normal" though is certainly an interesting question. Last March the atmosphere is said to have contained 0.0391% CO2. Currently we are at that same amount. Historically, the world's most prominent science experts of the period, claimed roughly that same level was what we considered normal. Some of these science experts received noble prizes for their work.Modern science experts though view things slightly differently. Many are claiming that the 90,000 measurements made over the past 150 years were all high and that the real number was about 300 ppm or lower. Both sides of this argument agree that the number is somewhere in between.
In any event our atmosphere has seen levels that vary due to fluctuations in temperature. The normal number will follow the current climate trends. In periods where temperature fall, CO2 will follow and fall. The normal will be lower during these periods. In periods where the temperature will rise, like the past several hundreds of years, we will see CO2 levels naturally rise.
How many animals died from the January 12 2010 earthquake in Haiti?
It's estimated that tens of thousands of animals, including livestock and pets, died in the January 12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The exact number is difficult to determine due to the scale of the disaster and the challenges in counting animal casualties.
Why was the death toll so high in the Haitian 2010 earthquake?
Haiti's a very congested country, there are small buildings and houses as far as the eye can see. A 7.0 earthquake would crush any small structures in it's vicinity. Plus there were at least 52 aftershocks ranging from 4.5 up.
The earthquake was so destructive for a number of reasons:
- The earthquake occurred at shallow depth - this means that the seismic waves have to travel a smaller distance through the earth to reach the surface so maintain more of their energy.
- The earthquake occurred in close proximity to a populated area. This again means that there is very little attenuation of the seismic waves (i.e they still have most of their energy and so are more destructive when they arrive).
- The buildings in Port-Au-Prince and other areas of Haiti were in very poor condition in general and were not designed or constructed to be earthquake resistant.
How many people were left homeless after the Haiti earthquake on January 12 2010?

How is infant mortality rate linked with life expectancy?
There is an inverse relationship between infant mortality rate and life expectancy - as infant mortality rate decreases, life expectancy tends to increase. This is because lower infant mortality indicates better overall health and access to healthcare in a population, which can lead to longer life expectancy. Improvements in infant survival rates often reflect improvements in overall healthcare and living conditions that benefit individuals at all stages of life.
Japan was still feudal in many ways until the end of the Second World War. High ranking military officers were usually aristocrats-samurai. Some Japanese follow both modern and traditional customs.
