Hazards
• Hazards are geological disasters that harm humans
• Risk is the likelihood of the threat
• Plate boundaries cause major disasters, earthquakes tsunami volcanoes.
• Today approximately 40% of the worlds population lives on a plate
boundaries as they coincide with the coast and ideal living conditions.
• Earthquake foci:
• Less than 70 km equal shallow, 300 to 700 km equals deep,
majority of earthquakes are shallow

Earthquakes
• Most earthquakes are associated with tectonic plate boundaries, the
characteristics of an earthquake can be explained using the elastic rebound
theory, different kinds of seismic activity happening on different types of plate
Plate boundaries
boundaries equals different earthquakes
• Volcanoes and earthquakes can occur on all three plate boundaries divergent
convergent and transforming
