12. HAITI vs CHILE How economic development & tectonic shifts effect people.

13. Even before the 2010 earthquake, HAITI had an unstable/weak government and had an underdeveloped economy and poor infrastructure (roads, rail lines, water systems, electric grid. etc.).

14. HAITI’s Earthquake 12 January 2010 Magnitude 7.0 Depth 8.1 miles (13 km)

15. As this diagram shows, HAITI suffered from a shallow shift of tectonic plates along a strike- slip fault, which generally causes the most damage.

16. One reason the devastation was so bad in HAITI was because the building materials and practices in Haiti were so poor.

17. Because HAITI has such poor infrastructure and a weak/ineffective government, it took longer to get emergency aid to those who needed it.

18. Even now, HAITI is having problems rebuilding so millions are living in tent camps. Diseases, such as Cholera, are becoming major epidemics.

19. CHILE is a newly industrialized country with a stable, strong government, functioning infrastructure and modern building methods overall.

20. CHILE’s Earthquake February 27, 2010 Magnitude 8.8 Depth 22 miles (35 kilometers)

21. Although CHILE’s earthquake was actually stronger in magnitude than Haiti’s, it did less damage because it was deeper and was along a convergent fault Although CHILE’s earthquake was actually stronger in magnitude than Haiti’s, it did less damage because it was deeper and was along a convergent fault (where one tectonic plate slips under another).

22. Although CHILE also suffered damage from their earthquake, but because their building materials and methods took earthquake readiness into account, their damage was not as severe as Haiti’s.

23. Because CHILE had the organization and infrastructure in place, they began clearing debris and rebuilding right after the earthquake.

24. Although they’re not luxurious, people who lost their homes in CHILE’s earthquake almost immediately received shelters to live in until they can rebuild, so they’re not suffering from outbreaks of disease.

25. Looking at the Latin America and the world, what conclusions can we make? Development & Infrastructure Preparing for the future – Earthquake – Hurricanes – Tsunami – Epidemics/Pandemics

29. 11) TERRACING / TERRACE AGRICULTURE Cutting a series of flat platforms into a steep hillside, which resemble steps, for farming. Terraced fields decrease erosion and surface runoff. In steep terrain terracing is necessary to successful grow crops

30. 13) SLASH and BURN AGRICULTURE Farming method which involves cutting and burning of dense forests to create fields. Benefits are short-lived, the new field is usually abandoned within 3-4 years. It is mainly subsistence farmers who use this method of farming, since it only requires basic tools with little technology.
