Why do earthquakes occur at conservative plate boundaries?
为什么在转换板块边界会发生地震？
Friction locks the plates, pressure builds, and sudden movement releases energy.
摩擦力将板块锁住，压力随之积聚，而突然的移动则释放出能量。

How do we make a building more resistant to earthquakes?
我们该如何让建筑物具备更强的抗震能力？
Foundations sunk deep into the bedrock.
Retrofitting old buildings.
Steel frames.
Fire-resistant materials.
地基深植于基岩之中。
对旧建筑进行加固改造。
钢框架。
耐火材料。

What is a volcanic hotspot?
什么是火山热点？
An area of volcanic activity above a relatively persistent source of magma, often away from plate boundaries.
400
Why do tropical cyclones usually weaken over land?
为什么热带气旋在陆地上通常会减弱？
They lose their supply of warm, moist ocean air, so the storm loses its source of energy.
它们失去了温暖潮湿的海洋空气供应，因此风暴也失去了能量来源。

Why do volcanoes form at some destructive plate boundaries?
为什么在某些破坏性板块边界会形成火山？
The subducting oceanic plate releases water, promoting mantle melting. Magma rises and can erupt.
俯冲的大洋板块释放出水分，促使地幔发生熔融。岩浆随之上升，并可能喷发。

Explain two reasons why the same magnitude earthquake can cause different levels of damage in different countries.
请解释为何震级相同的地震在不同国家会造成不同程度的破坏，并给出两个原因。
Differences in building quality, population density, preparedness, infrastructure or emergency response.
在建筑质量、人口密度、防灾准备、基础设施或应急响应方面的差异。

Explain how the Hawaiian Islands formed.
解释夏威夷群岛是如何形成的。
The Pacific Plate moved over a hotspot. New volcanoes formed above it, while older islands moved away and became less active.
太平洋板块在移动过程中经过了一个热点。热点上方形成了新的火山，而较早形成的岛屿则随板块移动而远离，其火山活动也随之减弱。
500
Explain how warm ocean water helps a tropical cyclone develop.
解释温暖的海水如何促使热带气旋发展。
This is because it provides the heat and moisture needed to form a tropical cyclone.
Evaporation (蒸发): Warm water evaporates, adding moisture to the air.
Rising air (空气上升): Warm, moist air rises, creating low pressure.

A country has strong buildings, earthquake drills and an early-warning system. Explain how these can reduce earthquake risk.
某个国家拥有坚固的建筑物、地震演习以及预警系统。请解释这些措施如何能够降低地震风险。
Strong buildings reduce collapse, drills improve people's responses, and warnings can allow protective actions before strong shaking arrives.
坚固的建筑能减少倒塌，演练可提升人们的应对能力，而预警则能在剧烈震动到来之前，让人们采取防护行动。
