- Caribbean island that lies on destructive plate boundary.
The oceanic Atlantic plate moving towards the contental Caribbean plate. 
- this area of the plate is known as the volcanic arc due to high number of valconaes present

Social: 
- population decline from 12000 to 3000 due to the risk (long term)
- over 20 villages and 2/3 of building destroyed, leading to displacement of people (long term)
- 19 people died and 7 were injured (short term)
-aging population created as younger people left as they saw no economic future (long term)
- health suffers as volcanic ash leads to respiratory illness (long term)

Economic p:
- over 20 villages destroyed (short term)
- airport and pry destroyed (short term)
- tourist stayed away for following years as resorts were damaged - income lost and jobs affected (long term)
-tourism has now increased as people visiting the volcanoes and jobs created (long term)
- Plymouth the capital destroyed and covered with 12m of ash ]]> 2016-05-12 18:12:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Tectonic_casestudies/wish/110628593 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Tectonic_casestudies/wish/110630999 Environmental:
- vegetation damaged by ash and crops destroyed (short term)
-volcanic ash has now improved should fertility and yield increased (long term)

Short term responses:
- evacuee camps set up in north of island
-British government gave £200 million in emagancy aid
-small scale substance framing in south damaged so country relied on food aid
-aid,food and water sent to refuel gee camps by aid agave has such as the Red Cross
-charities set up temporary schools and sent emergency food for farm animals
-roads diverted to abide damage from pyroclastic flows.

Long term responses:
- little ray redeveloped as new capital
50%od population evacuated afterwaords
-British aid spent on developing new airport, docks and hiuses
- volcanoes observatory opened to monitor  volcanoe
- exclusion zone set up in south of island till present, it evacuated of 5000 people.]]> 2016-05-12 18:20:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Tectonic_casestudies/wish/110630999 ldobbe1 https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Tectonic_casestudies/wish/110633183 super volcanoes not near a plate boundary, they are caused by a hot spot under the contental crust.

-6.5km below Yellowstone is a 64km wide magma chamber.
-has hot springs and gyizers

-lot bigger than normally volcanoes and not on plate boundaries. Crater emits 11,000 times more emmjsons. They also don't have a leak as they are flat

-magma is blocked from reaching the Earths surface.
-the pressure builds and more rock melts creating a magma chamber.
-when pressure is too much the entire surface is blown away by a huge explosions forming a caldera.

-magma flung 50km into atmosphere.
- all life 1000km away will be killed by ash, lava flows and the force of the explosion 
- 1000'km cubed of larva  pour out.
- the USA would be covered with 12.5cm of ash
- ash would kill crops and block out the sun leading to a nuclear winter
-economy's would collapse 
-it would destroy and flatten every single tree in blast zone which is 25km north.

-8.8 on richter scale
-epicentre 115km from concepcion
-focus 34km be,ow ground
-destructive plate boundary (Nazca and South American plate)
-focus just if the coast caused a tsunami.
-building codes meant there was less destruction.

-500 people killed (primary)
-12,000 people injured (primary)
Buildings destroyed (primary)
-500000 homes damaged (primary)
-Bridges and roads destroyed (primary)
- talca hospital badly damaged(primary)

-wide loss of power and other services (secondary)
-other countries hit by tsunamis (secondary)
-fire at chemical plants meant that Santiago was evacuated 
-little danage to copper mines

- rapid analysis of situation (immediate)
- needed aid was requested (immediate)
-Route 5 repaired to deliver aid
-10 days later 90%of homes had power and water (immediate)
- $60 million raised for emergency shelter

- housing reconstruction plan to help 196,000 households a month after earth quake (long term)
-stronger economy so recovered quickly with foreign aid to help reconstruction efforts and rebuilding (long term)]]> 2016-05-13 06:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ldobbe1/Tectonic_casestudies/wish/110704513
