Volcanoes and Earthquakes -Geography-

Volcanoes

Volcanoes can be active which means that it still erupts to these year, dormant means they are sleeping and may take more than 10,000 years to erupt again, Extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that won’t ever erupt again but some of them might. Most volcanoes  are in the ring of fire located near the pacific. When a volcano erupts people that live on the same area as the volcano will sail away, lots of people don’t survive these natural disasters. Do you know about Pompeii? Well Pompeii is a volcano which was a dormant volcano and erupted lots of people had died some of them managed to survive by travelling on boats just before the lava reached shore, houses were destroyed and lives were destroyed.

Earthquake 

Earthquakes form by tectonic plates when the rub together. Most of the earthquakes happen in the ring of fire located in the pacific volcanoes are also located in this area. If you live in a area most likely to have an earthquake stay away from glass, hide under something that will protect you from the building falling on you, cover you’re head from the collapsing building and don’t run outside because there is a possibility that buildings and other structures will collapse on you. Sometimes a fire might form by the tectonic plates rubbing against each other. Cracks would be formed bursting water pipes and electrical wires would be seen on the hard floor. Bricks would fall out of buildings and glass would shatter and fall to the ground!
