10. Imagine you are moving to a new location and you have to analyze the nearby hazards before choosing where to build your house. Choose three of the four following hazards, and describe in detail the types of data you would need to collect to determine how often a volcano erupts, how often a fault ruptures as an earthquake, how often a tsunami occurs and how often a flood occurs. Assume no one has been living in this area, so there are no records. 11. List five different surface features that might form on the surface of a terrestrial planet. Then for each, first explain how it formed, and then list the requirements of the planet/moon it formed on (ie. requires an atmosphere, or requires liquid water). Finally, explain what ci planets to be so distinct from Jovian planets. es during formation caused Terrestrial

Explanation / Answer

I choose volcanoes, tsunami and floods.

Volcanic eruptions are associated with mountains mostly. We can predict by observing wherher gases are getting released and if the earth has got cracks, high temperatures. Chemical sensors can be used to detect hazardous gases.

Tsunami- if the location is a coastal area then we have to worry about tsunami. If it is far away from the coastal regions then risk will he less.

Floods- we have to check if the location is in a downside area to a river and whether we have good drianage systems if at all.flood comes for quick recovery. Better the area is not a downside area to any river. Rain if falls, should not get stilled in the area so location should be on heights and drianage systems should be good.

11. Mountains, deserts, glaciers, water bodies, plains.

Since terrestrial planets are close to sun, they have the atmosphere and sunlight enough for the survival and the rotations will cause different temperatures in different seasons on them causing the surface features to be formed.

Mountains- plate tectonics are the main cause for mountain formation. Continental drifts and merges form the mountains.

Deserts- near the equator, moist raising air cools and condenses into clouds and later rains. As air currents move towards poles, air releasesuch of its moisture, when the current turns back to equator, air is descending. It becomes warmer and compressed and relative humidity falls further. Under such condition, it is rare for clouds to form and rain. Continental region beacomes extreme arid and thus deserta become dry.

Glaciers- Glaciers begin to form when snow remains in the same area year-round, where enough snow accumulates to transform into ice.

Water bodies- theory holds that the Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury would have been close enough to that proto-solar nebula that most of their water would have been vaporized by heat; these planets would have formed with little water in their rocks. In Earth's case, even more water would have been vaporized when the collision that formed the moon happened. In this scenario, instead of being home-grown, the oceans would have been delivered by ice-rich asteroids, called carbonaceous chondrites.
