INTRODUCTION Plate tectonics The large scale motions of the earth’s lithosphere are describe by a scientific theory called plate tectonics which explains that Earth’s outer layer is made up of plates‚ which have moved throughout Earth’s history. The theory was developed during first decade of 20th century (by a famous advocate Alfred Wegener) on the older concept of continental drift and was accepted by many geoscientific communities. There are currently seven major and many minor plates are

seismicity. It is located in the Chilean Northern Patagonian Andes. It is a dextral intra-arc transform fault. When considered a fault zone‚ the Liquiñe-Ofqui Fault Zone (LOFZ) might include other neighboring faults such as Reigolil-Pirihueico Fault. The geology of Chile is a result of the Andean and preceding orogenies occurring on the western coast of South America‚ a convergent boundary of tectonic plates. Chile is an active earthquake zone with recent years seeing an increase in high

Since Mauna Loa is part of Hawaii‚ it is formed by a hot spot (“Hawaii: Geology”‚ n.d.). The Pacific Plate‚ known as a hot spot‚ is present in Kilauea‚ Loihi seamount‚ and Mauna Loa. The plate enabled the formation of Mauna Loa‚ thus produces consecutive eruptions. Although eruptions can be hazardous‚ the ones in Hawaii are considerably not destructive (“Hawaii: Geology”‚ n.d.). Mauna Loa and the near Kiluaea (“Hawaii: Geology”‚ n.d.) are the only relatively active volcanoes in Hawaii. One of the

Nature may refer to the general realm of various types of living plants and animals‚ and in some cases to the processes associated with inanimate objects – the way that particular types of things exist and change of their own accord‚ such as the weather and geology of the Earth‚ and the matterand energy of which all these things are composed. It is often taken to mean the

Santorini‚ Greece Santorini is located in the Aegean Sea and is Greece’s largest volcanic Cyclades Island. Essentially the remnants of a massive volcanic eruption and outbreak of earthquakes‚ Santorini is the world’s only inhabited caldera. Since then‚ now crescent shaped‚ Santorini has been a major contender in the tourism industry by drawing hundreds of new travelers to visit each year. Voted "Best Island" for 2011 by Travel and Leisure Magazine‚ Santorini is best known for its pristine

the Sierra Nevada is a huge block of the Earth’s crust that was broken free on the east along a bounding fault system. This fault system was uplifted and tilted westward and this combination of uplift and tilt created the present mountain range (Geology‚ 2016). The Sierra Nevada Mountain range is part of the North American Cordillera‚ which was formed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic age. The Sierra Nevada Mountain range is part of the Nevadan orogenic belt and arose due to the engagement of tectonic
