Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonics theory is valid. The theory of tectonic plates was first posed by Alfred Wenger in 1912. Is the theory of how the earth lithosphere is made up of many separate pieces of the earth’s crust known as tectonic plates. He put forward the idea that all the earth’s continents were once conjoined in one supercontinent called Pangaea‚ and that these continents were moved by convection currents over a period

What are Earthquakes? The actual defining of a earthquake is: A sudden and violent shaking of the ground‚ sometimes causing great destruction‚ as a result of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action. Basically what its saying is that when a tectonic plate slips past another and when that happens its called a fault or fault plane‚ but when a earthquake happens it has been proven that it can deform the earths crust permanently. Something interesting is

preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A volcanic hazard is a situation that poses a threat to life‚ the environment‚ and infrastructure after a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes are formed at various plate boundaries‚ such as at mid oceanic ridges where plates are moving apart‚ for example at the Mid Atlantic ridge. They also occur on or near subduction zones. The ‘ring of fire’ tends to be where the most violent volcanic activity occurs. The scale of destruction a

Ricardo’s contribution in his theory of distribution Ricardo sought to show how changes in distribution affect production and contended that as the economy grows‚ rent rises which leads to low profits and deters economic growth. Ricardo’s theory of distribution has been briefly enunciated as follows: "(1) The demand for food determines the margin of cultivation; (2) this margin determines rent; Ricardo defined rent as “payment for the original and indestructible powers of the soil”. He identified

Hazards are anything that could cause damage to humans or buildings. Many volcanic and seismic events happen that cause hazards to humans. Often the world’s poorest people are hit the worst‚ however wealthier countries can also be adversely affected. The Kobe earthquake in Japan 1995 struck at 5.45am. Many people were asleep in bed‚ causing the hazard to be increased because the people were unaware. Although many Japanese buildings were of aseismic design‚ the roofs of their houses were designed
