Document Summary

Determine the risk from that hazard for the region of interest. Discuss how we assess the seismic risk in an area. Locate and determine nature of the hazard in the area. Determine potential human interactions with the hazard in the area. Discuss the measure we need to take to minimize damage from seismic activity in an earthquake-risk region. Release of pressure when rocks come to surface. When magma comes out of the ground, it will be in one of these two forms: Ethical framework for carrying out ese require us to work towards two goals: Permeability: amount of liquid that can seep through. Draw dip slip and reverse dip slip, pressure arrows. Plate tectonics explains how crustal plates move around the surface of the earth and allows geologists to find explanations from geological events such as earthquakes and volcanoes. The crust of the earth is separated into 10 major plates and a few smaller ones.
