What are the geographical processes associated with earthquakes?

Answer 1

Progression of brushfires and wildfiresBushfires occur in climates that are dry and hot (such as California in the summer). Occasional strong winds and summertime cold fronts can lead to extreme fire danger. Dangerous areas also include large areas of dry grass and trees, which burn easily and are common in the summer.

Several environmental and geographical factors help bush fires progress:

* High winds provide more oxygen

* Amount of fuel (trees, grass, etc.)

* Low humidity

* High air temperature

* Terrain (fires spread faster up sides of hills)

Additionally, embers from the main fire can set spot fires ahead, causing the fire to leap ahead with the help of the wind.

Answer 2

A flood is an overflow or accumulation of an expanse of water that submerges land. Floods can also occur in rivers, when the strength of the river is so high it flows out of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders and causes damage to homes and businesses along such rivers.

Runoff from sustained rainfall or rapid snow melt exceeding the capacity of a river's channel. Causes include heavy rains from monsoons, hurricanes and tropical depressions, foreign winds and warm rain affecting snow pack.

Unexpected drainage obstructions such as landslides, ice, or debris can cause slow flooding upstream of the obstruction.

Overall, floods occur when water accumulates across an impermeable surface from rainfall and cannot rapidly dissipate in a gentle orientation or low evaporation.

Answer 3

1. low pressure over the sea, causing air to rise (think - high presssure= I'm pressing my hand hard over a helium balloon, the balloon cannot rise. low pressure= I'm not pressing hard, so the balloon will rise)

2. Sea temperature about 26 / 27 degrees C

3. warm air goes upwards in spiralling movement (the eye)

4. Air rushes in to take the place of the rising air from the area of high pressure around the 'eye'

5. Forms a core / eye of low pressure surrounded by a ring of high pressure.

6. The cyclone forms in the sea, as it moves towards land it loses energy, because it's getting it's energy from the warm sea.

Answer 4

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates along faults in the Earth's crust. When stress builds up along a fault, the rocks deform until they reach a breaking point, resulting in the release of energy in the form of seismic waves. This movement can cause the ground to shake, leading to earthquakes of varying magnitudes.

Land Clearing/Habitat Destruction

Wind and Water Erosion

Answer 6

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When two of these plates get caught on each other and the tension is suddenly released, an earthquake occurs.
