Assessment task Knowing and understanding Activity 1 1.1 1.2 The most volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur around plate boundaries. Activity 2 2.1.1 Divergent boundary 2.1.2 Convergent boundary 2.1.3 Transform boundary 2.2.2 Divergent boundary Divergent boundaries cause oceanic ridges‚ valleys and lakes. Divergent boundaries can cause volcanic eruptions. Location: Basalt in (Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ East-African Rift). Convergent boundary Leads to trenches

Fire is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that encircles the basin of the Pacific.Why is it called the ring of fire have to do with plate tectonics? The Ring of Fire is a direct consequence of plate tectonics and the movement and collisions of crustal plates.What does the ring of fire have to do with plate tectonics?The "Ring of Fire" refers to a string of volcanoes‚ which create a ring in the Pacific. The relevance to plate tectonics‚ is that volcanoes are created by two plates

that forms over a volcano after it erupts. Collision zone When 2 continental plates collide. Neither plate is forced under the other‚ nor so both are forced up and form fold mountains. Composite volcano Composite volcanoes are made up of alternating layers of lava and ash (other volcanoes just consist of lava). They are usually found at destructive or compressional boundaries. Cone They are the build-up of rock from the volcanic vent; it piles up in the shape of a cone with a central crater. Conservative

Geography Assignment: Earthquake Part A: 1. Earthquakes are the sudden and rapid shaking of the earth. The collision of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions are what cause earthquakes. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and by volcanoes. The Earth’s crust is made up of plates which can freely slide across the mantle. When these plates collide or slide past with other plates‚ earthquakes occur. After the main earthquake‚ an aftershock may occur as the rock masses

injury‚ suffering‚ sickness‚ disease‚ and even death. This paper will introduce the major natural disasters that have affected life in the Caribbean and they include hurricanes‚ earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ landslides‚ flooding and tsunamis. Other than Barbados‚ all Windward Islands of the Caribbean are of volcanic origin. Volcanoes are ruptures in the earth’s surface that allow for the escape of lava and gas. The two types of volcanic eruptions‚ explosive and effusive‚ can both have devastating consequences

Then human beings become aware of the awesome forces that are shaping Their planet. These forces are fuelled by three powerful sources of energy - heat from within the Earth‚ heat from the Sun‚ and the force of gravity. Every landform in the world has been shaped by these ttu.ee energy sources. ’the continents that drift across the surface of the globe‚ setting off volcanoes and earthquakes

(Mitchell 444). This article is important in order to further research by geologists and oceanographers‚ making this an interdisciplinary matter. It highlights the need for additional research using new technology to study the effects the ocean has on volcanoes and vice versa. New research is cited throughout this article; each study highlights an area in the Pacific Ocean. The Axial Seamount‚ off the Oregon coast‚ erupted in 2011 and again in 2015.

start off small and become big as they move from the ocean to the shore. In addition‚ they were formed by different natural disasters. Tsunamis can be formed from different activities‚ such as earthquakes‚ landslides‚ and volcanoes on the deep ocean floor. If oceanic activity is detected‚ such as an earthquake or a volcanic eruption below the surface‚ then you can often predict that a tsunami may
