Two natural hazards that are caused by the movement of plates under the Earth’s surface are EARTHQUAKES and VOLCANOS.
- EARTHQUAKES and VOLCANOS is the answer.
- The surface of the Earth may seem solid as we walk on it and build buildings on it but the fact is that it is a constantly moving puzzle of connecting pieces.
- These pieces are known as tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are giant sections of the crust of the Earth whose edges interact with each other by ither colliding or moving apart.
- The plates of the lithosphere float on top of the pliable asthenosphere in the interior of the Earth's surface and the movement of these plates is known as plate tectonics
- Even though the movement of tectonic plates is generally extremely slow which is just a few centimeters per year, the plate tectonics are linked to various kinds of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.
