In terms of option 1)earthquakes, 3)volcanic eruptions, and 4) tsunamis, regions are at high risk (darkest shade). Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions pose a high danger in the Asia-Pacific region.
Explanation:
Earthquake
- Earthquakes are caused by sudden changes along with fault lines in the Earth's crust.
- The movement releases accumulated 'elastic strain' energy in the form of seismic waves, which travel through the Earth and shake the ground surface.
- This tremor has the potential to demolish structures and breach the Earth's surface.
- Seismology is the study of earthquakes' causes, repetitions, types, and sizes.
- Seismographs are used to determine the magnitude of earthquakes.
Volcanic eruptions
- When magma, or molten rock, rises to the surface, volcanoes erupt. When the earth's mantle melts, magma is created.
- Another way an eruption occurs is when water beneath the surface reacts with hot magma and produces steam, which can build-up to the point of causing an explosion.
Tsunamis
- A tsunami is a succession of waves triggered by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea.
- A massive earthquake in the Southern Pacific Ocean triggered the tsunami.
- Tsunamis are massive waves that occur under the sea as a result of earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Landslides
- The movement of rock, soil, or debris down a sloped area of the terrain is known as a landslide.
- Rain, earthquakes, volcanoes, and other elements that make the slope unstable produce landslides.
- Landslides are one sort of mass wasting, according to geologists, who study the physical formations of the Earth.
