                                               Earthquakes And Volcanoes         Throughout the course of learning about the natural hazards that occurs in my country that I have chosen to discuss about, there are two that I believe to due the most harm to human life.

When they push and pull it causes many earthquakes that have killed many people and destroyed many cities and buildings. Italy has more than 30000 earthquakes in their history, which make this a priority.  The volcanoes are located in many of the Italian cities, which...

I have learned a lot through the course of the semester, I know how many countries including our own prepares for natural disasters. Every country has there own hazards that occurs in their own country, that range from floods to volcanic eruptions. I know how earthquakes occur, and the different boundaries like, Divergent, Convergent, Transform. There are many plates involved when it come to Convergent boundaries such as ocean-ocean, ocean- continent, and continent-continent, they all have their own dynamics and end result. This natural hazard occur often and cause a lot of damage to property and loos of human life when an earthquake hits high on the Richter scale. Every country has their way of educating their citizens on how to get through earthquakes and the events that happen afterwards. Thing that can occur after are tsunamis or when the seafloor sits on top of the Earth's crust and shifts up or down during a earthquake. These ...
