Describe and demonstrate how plate movements create predictable landforms.
Describe and demonstrate how plate movements create predictable landforms. Define types of tectonic plates giving specific examples of these plates on a global basis. Explain one type of divergence, convergence, and transform movement, using maps to locate specific plates, landforms, and hazards associated with each type of movement. Which type of movement you described causes the most hazard and threatens the largest population (see population density, p ). What solutions would you propose for populations attempting to adapt or modify to life in these regions?
Describe and demonstrate three natural hazards and propose solutions to reduce loss of life or loss of property for people living in these regions. Explain one hazard caused by the following processes; weather, tectonics, and degradation. Be sure to describe the hazardous event, identify the hazardous process behind the event, describe how the hazard occurs, and use maps to locate where each hazard is found on a global basis. What solutions would you propose for each of these hazards? Where would you live if you want to avoid these hazards?
Mass movement is one of the deadliest hazard found on a global basis. In order to describe this hazard, please complete the following;
a. For each continent, identify the dominant mountain systems and their elevation.
b. Describe and locate the following rock types found on a global basis; extrusive igneous and sedimentary rock.
c. Describe orographic precipitation and use maps to show the number of inches of runoff found on the mountains identified in a.
d. Describe chemical and physical weathering, using maps of climate to identify regions dominated by chemical weathering (Af) and physical weathering (ET).
e. Describe rockfalls and landslides, using maps from a through d above to identify which regions are the most susceptible to each type of mass movement.
What solutions would you propose to reduce loss of life or loss of property in these regions?
