Expains the movement of the Earth’s crust and how the movement of the tectonic plates can cause geomorphological changes and how they could contribte to hazards. Relating to: “the causes and impacts of a geomorphological hazard on people, places and environments, and the effects of responses”

The earth's plates are restless! They move apart, bump into each other, and sideswipe each other! The San Andreas Fault just can't sit still. Find out what happens when plates rub against each other!

This is a brief explamation to the Plate Tectonic Boundaries and movements.

The Earth's mantle is the portion of the planet that lies between the crust and the core. Some of its secrets are now coming to light.

When two or more tectonic plates near the end of their life cycle, it creates a convergent boundary.

Earthquakes are natural phenomena caused by the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting in seismic waves. This release of energy can occur due to tectonic plate movements, volcanic activity, or human-induced activities like mining. The severity of earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale or moment magnitude scale. They can lead to various effects, such as ground shaking, surface rupture, and sometimes tsunamis if they occur underwater. Preparedness and understanding…
