Earthquake
Causes:
Depending on how strong they are and
where they strike, earthquakes can be some of the worst natural
Disasters, taking thousands of lives
and creating billions of dollars of damage. Earthquakes are the result
Of the sudden movement of rock along a
fault zone beneath the surface.
Effects:
Damage and fire. It can also damage a
lot of
Buildings. Depending on the severity of
the earthquake, gas mains may break, starting
Numerous fires.
Thousands of earthquakes can be also
destructive,
Especially to those structures that
have already been weakened and damaged.
Tsunami
Causes:
A Tsunami is violent disturbance deep
below the ocean surface.
2. The under water earthquakes and
subduction zones are the most common cause.
When an oceanic plate hits a
continental plate the plates press together and pressure
Builds.
Eventually the heavier oceanic plate
slips under the lighter continental plate and causes
An earthquake.
The earthquake lifts part of the ocean
up and drops other parts down
The Tsunami extends thousands of feet
deep into the ocean.
Tsunamis carry lots of water and energy
so they can travel very far.
Effects:
1. They can destroy a lot of lives/drowned
loved ones.
2. Wash away properties.
3. Wash away and drowned pets.
4. The sound will make you scared and
after it happens you might not be able to sleep well because you
Might hear the sound of a tsunami at
night.
5. Destroyed houses, Food, clothes,
shelter, beds and blankets.
Convergent boundary
Causes:
When the
two plates come together. As these two plates push against each other, one is
forced down under the other.
Effects:
Two
convergent plates formed mountain ranges.
These
convergent boundaries commonly cause volcanoes to form. And two plates also can
form a number of small and large earthquakes.
Divergent boundary
Causes:
A
divergent boundary is a boundary where two
Tectonic
plates are moving away from one another.
Effects:
It an
form a line or a range of volcanoes.
Transform Boundary
Causes:
Two
plates move slide passing each other’s horizontally.
Effects:
Where
the two plates slide pass each other in a sideways the result of these two
plates
Build
pressure and energy. Occasionally this energy is released suddenly in the form
of large earthquakes.
Subduction Zone
A
process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which tectonic plates
moves under another.
Hot
Spots
The
plates often generates from melting and upward migration of
Magma
Fault Zone
An area
in where there is large concentration of fractures in the earth.

Compare and Contrast Paragraph
There are three types of plate
boundary. Convergent, divergent, and transform boundary.
In convergent boundary plates move
toward eacthother, in divergent plates move apart each other, and in transform
boundary plate’s moves slide passing each other horizontally.
Similarities between all these boundary
is that they all are boundary, all form some kind of natural disaters.however,
they are also different from eactother because all boundaries form different
type of natural disaster. For example, convergent boundary form volcanoes,
divergent boundary forms rift valley, therefore transform boundary forms
earthquake. As a result, all boundaries have to do something with the Earth.
