Kobe region of southern central Japan. This earthquake was one of the most over whelming earthquakes that occurred in Japan. What is the cause of the hazard? Japan is located in three tectonic plate boundaries; the Pacific‚ Eurasian and Philippine Sea plates. A three way destructive plate boundary occurred as a result of a plate movement along the border between the plates. The Kobe earthquake was caused by pressure building as the Philippine Sea plate is subducted underneath the Eurasian plate

Roles‚ responsibilities and boundaries are continuous qualities within my role as a tutor which are constantly assessed and reflected upon throughout the teaching/training cycle. According to Francis and Gould “The role of a teacher is not just to teach but to also be an evaluator‚ subject leader‚ manager of learning resources‚ curriculum developer‚ union member‚ personal tutor‚ assessor‚ information and advice giver‚ administrator‚ liaison with external body‚ record keeper‚ interviewer‚ verifier

Fuca plate is getting subducted under it. This plate is made of oceanic crust‚ but it is also basaltic in some areas. It was named after the pilot and sailor‚ Juan de Fuca‚ an explorer from Europe in the 1600s. The Juan de Fuca plate has a divergent boundary in the Juan de Fuca ridge. New material is made by the Juan de Fuca ridge constantly‚ which is volcanically active. The Juan De Fuca plate used to be a part of a larger plate called the ‘Farallon’ plate. The Farallon plate broke apart 200 million

What theory best solves the collective goods problem? Provide an example to support the argument. The issue of collective good has to be think in terms of international policies Collective goods are‚ in theory‚ goods or services which represent two characteristics. The first one‚ called non-rivalry‚ means that the consumption of the good by an actor does not prevent its consumption by another one. The second characteristic‚ the exclusion‚ means that nobody is excluded from the consumption of

Fold Mountains are formed when two tectonic plates collide at convergent plate boundaries. During this process the less dense crust to float over the denser plate. The material is then forced upwards

time. The last eruption was in 8051 BC. Mount Garibaldi began erupting about 250‚000 years ago and has grown steadily since then. Like most of the Cascade volcanoes‚ it has its own origins in the Cascadia subduction zone; a long convergent plate boundary that stretches from mid- Vancouver Island to Northern California. The first European to see the mountain in 1792‚ Captain George Vancouver‚ traded with the local natives in the area. When skiing became popular in the 1940s‚ Vancouver skiers began

“These plates move relative to each other‚ typically at rates of 2-4 inches per year. As the plates move‚ they interact along their boundaries” (Plate Tectonics). In other words‚ the formation of geological features occur at the plate boundaries which is where plates slide and interact. There are four types of plate boundaries: divergent boundaries‚ convergent boundaries‚ transform
