    Plate boundaries Plate Boundaries is a theory of the global movement over a period of time. There are three main types of plate boundaries they are‚ transform boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ and divergent boundaries. Transform boundaries are where two plates are sliding past each other. These areas are also known as faults. Most transform boundaries are found on the ocean floor‚ a few however are found on land. Since these boundaries do not crunch together they to not tear or break

    CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

    “The extent to which tectonic processes represent hazards depends on when and where they are experienced.” Tectonic hazards are dangers caused by the movement of the earth’s plates. The majority of hazards represent by plate tectonic occur at plate margins where two plates meet. These natural processes become hazardous when they affect people and cause material losses such as the destruction of infrastructure as this inhibits sustainable development. These hazards can be reduced depending on when

    about the Earth and the physical processes‚ which take place within it. My favourite area of geophysics is tectonic movement. Whilst visiting the Himalayan mountain range in 2015 I had first-hand experience of a 7.5 magnitude earthquake in the Gilgit area of Pakistan. This harrowing experience sparked my interest in the formation of the mountain range and the challenges of measuring tectonic movement using a variety of techniques‚ including GPS from satellites to track rock movements and seismometers

    The Effect of Dams on Reservoir Sedimentation and Environmental Flow A dam is a barrier‚ obstruction or blockade built for the sole purpose of storing water. There are many uses for these systems‚ including its combination with hydropower‚ and the re-distribution of the deposited water. The benefits of the dam are very valuable to everyday life. They provide flood control‚ water supply‚ fishing hydroelectric power‚ recreation and more. But just as we figure out how to improve energy efficiency or
