    taking seriously until the 1960. This study is called plate tectonics‚ and it helps explain the continental drift‚ the spreading of the seafloor‚ why volcanoes erupt and how mountains are formed. The mountain range that runs from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of South America were formed by the buckling of crustal rocks that crash into the edge of North and South America. The land folds under the pressure of the colliding plates and pushes up sedimentary rock up to create mountains

    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

    Seismic Waves What are seismic waves? Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. These waves are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. There are many different types of these waves‚ but the two main ones are the body waves that usually travel though in inner layer of the earth‚ and the surface waves that only move around the surface of the planet. Body waves travel through the inner layer of the earth

This causes building to be damaged or the ground/foundation to settle different than it was. If the soil is liquefied then the building can actually sink into the ground. This can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault

    Volcanic Landforms Volcano is essentially a fissure or vent (opening) which serves as an outlet for hot magma from beneath the Earth’s crust. The hot liquid magma coming out in the form of lava (most commonly molten basalt) is potential of shaping different landforms on earth crust. The most common landforms that are results of volcanic activity include cones‚ craters‚ calderas‚ domes etc. This article gives a description of these volcanic landforms. SHIELD VOLCANOES- These are characterised
