Presentation transcript:

Earthquakes are generated at boundaries by the energy released by the passing of plates 1. What is the relationship between plate location and earthquake generation?

Virgin Islands is on an active plate boundaries as a result there are many physical processes such as;  Tectonic activity =Earthquakes=Tsunamis  Volcanism  Subduction - A major physical process that has occurred because of the subduction zone is the formation of the Puerto Trench2  Mountain building  Sea floor spreading

 Hurricanes  Flooding  Earthquakes  Tsunamis  Landslides

Residents should prepare by …  Knowing the proper evacuation procedure  Not placing heavy furniture or mirrors by the bed.  Know how to shut off gas valve at home.  Have emergency supplies ready to go.  Know where the nearest police and fire stations are.

 Wear closed shoes in case of broken glass or debris  Expect aftershocks  Check for spills, fallen items and other hazards.  Check food and water supplies.
