What about Plate Tectonics?
Olivia Paladino
The earth crust is divided in seven mayor plates and many smaller ones. These plates re separated by boundaries, and sometimes these boundaries make movements that produces natural hazards.

These movements could be such as Constructive, Destructive or Conservative. Each movement produces a different hazard. A constructive movement produces faults, because in this movement two plates are separating from each other. But in a destructive movement, when an oceanic plate and a continental plate are about to crush , but the oceanic crust sinks under the continental crust, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions are produced. And in a conservative movement, when two plates move against each other, earthquakes are produced too.
So, as a conclusion we cannot stop these disasters, but we can be prepared to survive if something occurs. And we also need to know, that if we are near a Plate Tectonic boundary a hazard can occur.
