How much does going to Stanford cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's about $50,000 per academic year, so a total of $200,000 over 4 years. Many qualify for financial aid, so they won't pay as much (i.e., those who make under $60,000 don't have to pay for anything to the school itself [tuition, room, board, books], and those who make under $100,000 don't have to pay tuition [which is about $37,000 per year]).

No. Singapore has never been hit and will most likely never be hit by one. She is situated in such a way that Indonesia and Malaysia protects her from the waves. Singapore is relatively well protected by natural disasters such as tsunamis and cyclones.

Over 15,00 people died in the earthquake and resulting tsunami. The number of animals and pets killed is probably on same order of magnitude with tens of thousands of animals killed. There is no official number for animal causalities in this disaster.

In addition to the human rescue teams in Japan a number of animal rescue teams such as one from Animal Welfare (IFAW), which sent an animal disaster response assessment team into the area.

Earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown each one right after the other.

In March 2011, Japan was hit by a series of large earthquakes one of which was a magnitude 9.0 that triggered a deadly tsunami. These two disasters contributed to failure of the Fukushima nuclear power plant and radiation fallout in the area.

Where was the epicentre of the March 2011 earthquake in Japan?

Asked by Wiki User

The epicenter for the magnitude 9.0 earthquake (originally recorded as 8.9) in Japan on March 11, 2011 was reported by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and others to be 129 kilometers (80 miles) off the east coast of the Oshika Peninsula, Tōhoku, near Sendai at a depth of 32 kilometers (20 miles). This earthquake triggered the massive tsunami that followed shortly after.

Who survived the tsunami in Japan?

Asked by Wiki User

On December 26, 2004, at 7:58 AM a magnitude 9.1 earthquake occurred along the seafloor 250km (155mi) southeast of Banda Aceh in Sumatra, Indonesia. Parts of the seabed were displaced upward by 20m (66ft) and opened a new crack 10m (33ft) deep.

The death count has been estimated at between 230,000 to 260,000 people during the earthquake and subsequent tsunami. It's speculated that many of the deaths were caused by a combination of dense coastal populations and an inadequate or nonexistent tsunami-warning system.

As for how many people survived, the population of Sumatra is estimated at 50,365,538 (see the Wikipedia link below). So perhaps 50,105,000 to 50,135,000 people survived the event.

How many people were killed in the fire raids on the cities in Japan and Germany?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dresden (100,000+) Tokyo (100,000+) These were devastating raids, in Tokyo the city was built of wood and the incendiaries obliterated the city. Dresden was bombed by the British and the bombing is considered controversial because many consider it retaliation for the German bombings of England. The German government estimates the total number of German civilians killed in air raids at about 595,000. The figure given above for Dresden is far too high. Scholarly studies for a long time put the figure for Dresden at about 35,000. Since German reunfication in 1990 much of the centre of Dresden has been rebuilt and the human remains recovered, together with other evidence, point to a figure of 25,000-30,000, probably towards the upper end of this range. The raid on Dresden is controverial because it served no discernable military purpose at all. It's not fruitful or even possible to divide air raids on civilian targets into 'fire raids' and other raids.

Asked by Wiki User

It sadly struck Friday 11th March 2011 at approximately about 5:34pm. The huge earthquake killed 20 people by itself then a tsunami hit. A tsunami is a huge wave, wiping out everything in it's way killing 20,000 alone. Then the Nuclear Power Plants blew up and everything started to get worse.......
