tectonic plate
The plates move together
What is the difference between magma and lava?
Magma= underground, lava= when it breaks out
how do earthquakes happen
what is climate change
Climate change refers to any long-term trends or shifts in climate over many decades.
How Global Warming could impact economic Growth ?
The oil industry has to be phased out. That will bring negative economic impact to oil-producing countries unless they diversify into other sustainable sources of energy which is very hard in a short time scale.
How fast is the motion of the plates?
2-3cm per year
what can be a volcano be callled as well?
a mountain
how to stay safe from an earthquakes
what causes this condition?
Humans
how does that happen
Explanation: For one, the movement of tectonic plates can cause many natural disasters, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Natural disasters are also caused by the weather. Natural disasters can cause other traumatic events to occur as well, such as floods, landslides and mudslides
What drives the motions of the plate?
Heat from the core transferred to the cold surface.
Three settings where volcanic rocks generally form
subduction zones, hot spots, mid ,ocean rift system
what is an earthquake
An earthquake occurs when rocks break and slip along a fault in the earth. Energy is released during an earthquake in several forms, including as movement along the fault, as heat, and as seismic waves that radiate out from the "source" in all directions and cause the ground to shake, sometimes hundreds of kilometers away.
tell me one example what proofs that climate change exist
icebergs are meltin quickly
how to stay safe
On Average of ten years, How much bigger would be the Atlantic ocean be?
About 10 inches
what is lava made from?
Melted rocks
Where do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur all over the world
does the greenhouse affect as well?
yes
How can climate change affect natural disasters?
With increasing global surface temperatures the possibility of more droughts and increased intensity of storms will likely occur. As more water vapor is evaporated into the atmosphere it becomes fuel for more powerful storms to develop.
What kind of motion would be expected at a transform boundary?
The plates slide past and along each other horizontally.
how do they happpen
Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger.
How do earthquakes cause damage
Most earthquake damage is caused by ground shaking
what is the greenhouse effect?
the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.
What are Natrual disaster? (need to count all of them) (10)
Earthquakes Volcanic eruptions Landslides, mudslides Tsunamis Hurricanes Plagues Droughts Floods Tornadoes
