Most volcanoes and earthquakes are found on the boundires of the tectonic plates
2. Tectonic plates are classed as the crust of the earth it is estimated that the crust is from 5km - 70km
3. There are two types of crust the oceanic crust and the continental crust. The oceanic crust is found underneath the ocean it is more dense than the continental crust
4. The tectonic plates are constantly moving under the earth
5. Heat from the core causes convection currents in the mantle. These currents slowly move the crust around. In some places the crust is destroyed.

There are many different styles of volcanoes and they all erupt differently  because of their shape or  their size
2. The economic effects of a volcano can be severe people can love their jobs and countries but then also lose their homes and trans[ort that they may have owned.
3. There are many active and non active volcanoes located around the globe
4. There are different vents and craters that are in a volcano vents are where the lava comes out of the volcan
5. The crater iis the bowl shaped basin in the top of the volcano.

2. Earthquakes in the past were measured using a rictoscale but they changed their methods and created the magnitude scale
3. The magnitude scale measures the size of the seismic waves during the earthquake
4. Earthquakes cause devostation to the country it affects and there is a scale that measures this. The Mercalli Scale measures the amount of destruction tht the earthquake will cause.
5. The Mercalli Scale measures the amount of destruction will be caused by locating how close the nearest population is (If it is closer to the epicenter than it will be worse).

2.tropical storms are given names, alphabetical and alternate between male or female it makes them easier to identify  
3.  they form by rapidly rising air that makes an area of extreme low pressure. The low pressure sucks in air, causing very strong winds
4. the center of the cyclone called the eye is usually calm
5. Hurricane Katrina killed 1,800 people and 300 000 homes were destroyed]]> 2017-05-16 00:39:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171975941 Tsunami caitlin_knapman https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171976378 1. Tsnuami's are commonly caused by earthquakes near or in the ocean.
2. Tsnumai is a Japanese word that means Harbor Wave
3. A tsnumai is a wave caused by the large displacement of water
4. When there is a tsnumai there can by lots or very little warning that there is a tsnumai in the area.
5. Tsnmai's slow as the reach the shore but the height of the wave increses]]> 2017-05-16 00:42:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171976378 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171977319 2017-05-16 00:51:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171977319 kimberley_hyland https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171977477 2017-05-16 00:52:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kimberley_hyland/6hxlp4gstd6q/wish/171977477
