Natures fury
Over the past four years, the world has witnessed two horrific natural disasters, an earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan and an eruption in Chaiten Chile. Both have had huge effects on the reigon around them, and in this website, Miguel Errazo and I, Liam Rawlings will explore these effects in detail. We hope you enjoy learning about these shocking diasters.
Firstly, before you go to any of the other tabs on this website, you should know about plate tectonics. Underneath the earths crust, in the mantle, hot magma is being pushed around by convection currents. This hot magma then pulls the plates along while it is moving, thus causing the plates to move. However, when they move, they can collide, this causes disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. When you move onto the other parts of this website, you will learn more specifically how these plate movements caused our specifically chosen disasters.
So what are you waiting for, go ahead and enjoy the knowledge that our site has to offer!
