What causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Volcanoes and mountain ranges called fold mountains
The theory of Plate Tectonics
Convection currents
The surface of the earth is divided into
The lithosphere and convection currents
The Antartic, Eurasian and North American plates
Convergent plates
Plates which vary in size.
Natural Hazards...
are the same as Natural Disasters.
can be foreseen with the help of technology.
have impacts that may last for long, even after the event has happened.
have to do with plate tectonics and their movements.
One way in which natural hazards can be classified is according to
their magnitude, speed, duration and frequency
their speed, magnitude, duration and intensity
their frequency, length, intensity, speed and magnitude.
Choose the correct option:
A Natural Disaster follows a Natural Hazard.
A Natural Hazard follows a Natural Disaster.
Mountain ranges is another way of calling
Supervolcanos
Plate Tectonics
Fold Mountains
Continental crust
Convection currents cause:
natural disasters
plates to move
magma in the mantle
supervolcanos
The term "Vulnerability" makes reference to
the possibility of a natural hazard happening
the potencial to be harmed
a potential earthquake, flood or drought
running a risk
What does the concept "supervolcano" make reference to?
To a National Park in the North-West of the United States
To an eruption which measures magnitude 8 or more in the Richter Scale
To an eruption which measures magnitude 8 or more in the Volcano Explosivity Index and creates deposits that are greater than 20km.
To an eruption which measures magnitude 8 or more in the Volcano Explosivity Index and creates deposits that are greater than 1000km.
An example of Geological Hazard is a
flood
tropical cyclone
volcanic eruption
drought
