1) The document discusses different types of plate boundaries including convergent boundaries which form mountains, divergent boundaries which form rift valleys, transform boundaries where plates slide past each other, and subduction zones where one plate moves under another. 2) It provides examples of specific geological features formed by these boundaries such as the Himalayan Mountains from the Indian and Eurasian plate collision, and mid-ocean ridges formed at divergent boundaries. 3) The document also discusses various natural hazards associated with plate tectonics including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and discusses the devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan.

1. Convergent boundary
When two plates come together that is
convergent boundary.

2. Himalaya Mountains
When two plates beneath the
earth’s surface collided, the edges
of one or both are pushed
upwards that creates a mountain.
It formed in continental crust.

3. Divergent Boundary - when two
tectonic plates
separate.
Rift valley
Mid-Ocean Ridge

4. Great Rift Valleys
Formed by the continental
plates breaking apart that
creates rift valleys.

5. Mid Atlantic Ridges
When two plates
separate by plate
tectonic. it’s oceanic
spreading water.
The effect is formed
by lava erupted from the
mid-ocean ridges that the
volcano can attached to
it form the ridges.

6. Transform Boundary- slide past to
each other.
Earthquake
Tsunami

7. Earthquake
It formed by when the
rock underground suddenly
breaks along a fault.
It is at a transform
boundary in Japan in 2012.
The effect of the
earthquake are many people
died, damage the houses and
buildings and so on. It is so
terrible.

8. Tsunami
The tsunami formed by
earthquakes must occur
underneath or near the ocean,
be large and create
movements in the sea floor.
The effect of the tsunami
are wash away property,
destroy the live, make people
scared that have nightmares.

9. Subduction Zone– two plates come up together and one
of them moves on top of the other.
Volcanic Arc
Trench

10. Volcanic Arc
Volcanic Arc is the
Line of the volcano.
It will create
the volcano.
The effect of this is
the volcanic
eruptions.

11. Fault Zone-A fault line is a break in the surface of the Earth
where one side of the break is pushed up against the other.
Fault lines are caused by Earthquakes.
It has three types of
the faults. They are
reverse fault (one
side moves down)
normal fault(one side
moves up)strike­slip
fault(slide past to
each other.)

12. Banning strand of the San Andreas fault
zone, Riverside County, California—III
It caused by the
reverse fault.
The effect of this is it
will be created the
terrible earthquakes.

13. Hot spot-part of the mantle and always stay in the same
locations.
Hot spots are places within the mantle where rocks melt to general
magma.And the it will have the heat to push the magma up that create
12/20/13
the hot spot volcano.

14. Ring of Fire-is no longer active of the volcano.
The Ring of Fire is a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that
result from subduction of oceanic plates beneath lighter continental
plates.And it always happen in Japan.In addition,if it erupts,it will cause
12/20/13
the volcanic eruptions under the ocean.

15. Earthquake in Japan
It happened at 13:46 on March 11, 2011.It was in
Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan region. It was
really terrible and the magnitude is 9.0 earthquake. It
had big consequences. For example the earthquake has
caused 14,063 people were killed,13,691 were missing.
Moreover, it had 9.0 earthquake caused a tsunami
about 10 meters high, and caused nuclear power plant
explosion. It was the highest in the world in the history
of the observed magnitude earthquake. On the other
hand, it damages many buildings and effect the
economic conditions. That was made Japan had a big
accident for this that make people feel scared.

16. The effect of the earthquake
in Japan

17. Tsunami in Japan
In this case it shows the tsunami caused by the
earthquake. This earthquake, not only hit the
Japanese homeland, hit the Japanese economy, but
also on the Japanese caused the tsunami. Tsunami
disaster has caused 3373 deaths and 15,000 people
missing. The big effect of this is Nuclear and
nuclear radiation leak. There caused the people
might got the diseases from the radiation
explosion. It is really harmful, it is not just for
Japan, it should harm all over the world.
