possibility of the lava flowing through these zones. Tsunami A large ocean wave that is caused by earthquakes or eruptions of volcanoes.

order to repair infrastructure. Sometimes the damage is so serious; it can lead to poverty in some areas such as Haiti. * Environmental Impacts: Earthquakes can lead to tsunamis‚ liquefaction as well as secondary effects. The seismic waves produced by earthquakes cause tsunamis. The aftershocks can also cause tsunamis to hit communities again before they are able to recover. Liquefaction is the process where soil turns into a dense fluid rather than a solid. Secondary effects

Along with the damage came the after mass of power loss‚ damage‚ and flooding along with tsunamis. There were 12 aftershocks that could be felt 145 miles away from the originating site. Chile is known to have earthquakes‚ but none have compared to this one. Since 1973‚ Chile has had approximately 12 with magnitudes of 7.0 and above. So this should

This relates to the theme because the ocean is apart of nature and the ocean is powerful‚ when it brings a tsunami‚ it bring great danger. Another reason why this is the theme of chapter six is because when Aunty Pearl was listening to the

Hazards are anything that could cause damage to humans or buildings. Many volcanic and seismic events happen that cause hazards to humans. Often the world’s poorest people are hit the worst‚ however wealthier countries can also be adversely affected. The Kobe earthquake in Japan 1995 struck at 5.45am. Many people were asleep in bed‚ causing the hazard to be increased because the people were unaware. Although many Japanese buildings were of aseismic design‚ the roofs of their houses were designed
