“Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that the plate tectonic theory is valid” Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement (40). The theory of plate tectonics explains the structure and motion of the Earth’s lithosphere. The theory states that the Earth’s crust is split into large sections called tectonic plates‚ and these move relative to one another creating boundaries at which the plates converge‚ diverge or move past each other. These plates

to every affected area. A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards both people and land. They have the ability to kill and destroy‚ ruining livelihoods and destroying large land masses. The extent of the hazard can differ depending on how prepared

To what extent does the impact of volcanic eruptions on human activities depend on the scale of the eruption (40). The scale of volcanic eruptions is one factor‚ which can influence their human impact. Massive eruptions such as Pinatubo may cause changes to the global climate‚ i.e global cooling and its implications for food production. Such changes may be short term or long terms‚ in the past massive eruptions have permanently altered global climate and large parts of the Earth’s topography. However
