Plate tectonics is the geological theory explaining the movement of the Earth's lithospheric plates, which shapes the planet's surface and is responsible for phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and continental drift.
Read MorePlate TectonicsNatural Disasters: Earthquakes: Earthquakes are sudden and intense shaking of the ground caused by the movement of tectonic plates, posing significant risks to life, infrastructure, and economies. Their unpredictable nature and potential to trigger secondary disasters, such as tsunamis and landslides, make them a critical area of study in disaster preparedness and response.
Read MoreNatural Disasters: EarthquakesGeophysics: Earthquakes and Tsunamis examines the geological processes that lead to seismic activity and oceanic waves, emphasizing their impact on human societies and natural landscapes.
Read MoreGeophysics: Earthquakes and TsunamisGeology: Earthquakes are natural phenomena resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, causing seismic waves that can lead to significant destruction. Studying the mechanisms behind earthquakes is crucial for risk assessment and disaster preparedness.
Read MoreGeology: EarthquakesTsunamis, caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, can unleash devastating waves that lead to catastrophic loss of life and property along coastlines.
