Name A constructive Force
What force can create mountains?
Tectonic Plates
What destructive force begins in the ocean?
Tsunamis
What reef is in my native country?
Great Barrier Reef (Long Live Aussies!!)
What destructive force has the most effect on faults?
Earthquakes
On a scale of 1-5, how destructive is a Tsunami?
What is 3? Explanation: Tsunamis are devastating, but they can be prevented with some difficulty.
What force creates islands in the ocean?
Underwater Volcanoes
How are tornadoes created?
When hot and cold air begin spinning in the correct conditions
Did erosion or tectonic plates create the grand canyon?
Erosion
Can natural disasters be started by human interference?
Yes. One example of that would be when a nuclear plant in China had a meltdown and caused a tsunami.
On a scale of 1-5, how destructive is a volcano?
5. Explanation: Volcanoes are incredibly destructive and aren't preventable. But they are predictable. Volcanoes normally erupt due to seismic activity in its vicinity. But this makes a rating of 5 because while other destructive forces have a predictable range, volcanoes can destroy things from miles away.
What force creates valleys
Tectonic plates
What scale is used to measure seismic activity?
The Richter scale
How do tectonic plates create volcanoes? (Yellowstone for example)
Volcanoes are created when tectonic plates collide and magma rises in the gap.
What are tornadoes that take place on water called?
Water spouts
On a scale of 1-5, how destructive is a tornado?
3-5. Explanation: The level of destruction varies. There is a scale for destructive power similar to the Richter scale from 0-5. 5 being the most devastating, and 0 being a strong breeze. Tornados are also easily predictable given they are created from major storms.
Can some forces create and destroy?
Yes.
What is the action of a tectonic plate sliding under a oceanic plate?
Landfall
What mountain chain is Mt Everest in and what tectonic plates created it?
The Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates created the Himalayas
What is the "Ring Of Fire" and where is it?
The Ring Of Fire (AKA Circum-Pacific Belt) is a area with A LOT of active volcanoes and is a hotbed for seismic activity. Basically its natural disaster central.
What volcanic eruption took place in 79 A.D? Hint: It took place in Italy
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius
What is the scientific name for a underwater volcanoes?
Seamounts
(Yeah, I bet you didn't think of a name that went out of style in 1873)
One of the strongest volcanic eruptions in Italy
Why are constructive forces mainly based on tectonic plates?
Pretty much everything is on tectonic plates. So tectonic plates are the most important force.
What is the name of a tornado that is on fire? And what country gets them the most?
They are called fire devils and are most common in Australia!
How do we prevent floods from causing a major amount of damage?
We use dams and other forms of blocking water to prevent the majority of floods. We prevent floods that take place because of a large amount of rain with drain pipes to move water away from homes.
