Estimating seismic hazard. Research problem. You and a partner have been asked to compare the seismic hazard in two regions to determine which is safer for building a new manufacturing plant. 1. What type of data would you need to collect to make the comparison?

Continental Scale Landscape Analysis

Continental Scale Landscape Analysis

Continental Scale Landscape Analysis. Landforms occur in patterns across the surface of the globe, and geographic regions are often defined by these landform complexes. One way of looking at landforms is through elevation changes. Another is by differences.

Where Did It Happen?

Where Did It Happen?

Where did it happen? The magnitude 9.0 2011 Tohoku earthquake struck 30KM offshore of Japan, along a subduction zone where two of Earth's tectonic plates collide. In a subduction zone, one plate slides beneath another into the mantle, the hotter layer.

Connecting Hydrothermal Vents to Plate Tectonics

Connecting Hydrothermal Vents to Plate Tectonics

Connecting Hydrothermal Vents to Plate Tectonics. Hydrothermal vents are found in deep ocean waters along the Mid-Ocean Ridges. The chemical compounds that spew out of these cracks along the ocean floor create black and white smokers and unique ecosystems.
