Question
What is the most likely geologic hazard in your part of the country? Is there more than one if so what are they? What are the three types of plate boundaries and where does each most commonly occur on the Earth? Circle and example location of each on the map. What type of plate boundary is closest to where you live ? transform boundary convergent boundary divergent boundary subjective boundary What tectonic plate are you currently on ? Pacific plate North American Plate Juan de Fuca Plate Nazca Plate Name three physical properties that differentiate oceanic crust from continental crust ? Label the 3 layers (oceanic crust, continental crust, mantle) and composition of each on the diagram to the right.Explanation / Answer
1) in my country ( india) earthquakes are the main geological hazards. as the indian plate is colliding with the asian plate several earthquakes are known to occur.
2) convergent plate boundaries where two plates moving towards each other
divergent boundaries wwhere two plates are moving away from each other
transform boundary where two plates slide past each other
3) convergent boundary
4) indian plate
5) oceanic crust is thinner where as continental crust is thicker
oceanic crust is denser while continental crust is less denser
oceanic crust compoition is basltic while continental crust is andesitic
