This is often attributed to the fact that Japan is constantly threatened by natural disasters from earthquakes‚ tsunamis (this is a Japanese word used internationally)‚ typhoons to volcano eruptions. Under these circumstances Japanese learned to prepare themselves for any uncertain situation. This goes not only for the emergency plan and precautions for

When Mount St. Helens in Washington state erupted in 1980‚ it was the biggest eruption in the United States ever recorded. It also changed the earth’s surface immensely. There are many Geo processes on the Earth because it is in constant motion‚ so the Earth’s surface is always changing; three Geo processes that change the surface of the Earth most are volcanoes‚ tsunamis‚ and earthquakes. Importantly‚ volcanic eruptions
