Which Country?Location? I am doing Chile, Temuco – Valdivia. My job is to predict, prepare and protect the people of Chile from any posible hazards that might occure. Chile! (1)
Plate Boundaries? • The plate boundaries that are involved, are the South American Plate and NazcaPlate. (2)
Climate? • With Global Warming, almost every country has been devastated with weather or seasonal change that they were unprepared for; Chile get mid winters and a larger amount of rain in summer. Chile’s climate is a Mediterranean climate and they should not be getting larger amounts of rain in summer. This is caused by El Nino. El Nino is a temporary change in climate of the Pacific Ocean. (Pierce, W.David)5
What Type of Natural Hazards Before? • Earthquakes, Flash Floods, Tsunamis, Fires, Volcanic eruption have all hit Chile. (People and Places.)3Earthquake with a measured magnitude of 8.75 have struck Chile and with 620 volcanoes in that area, Chile cannot afford too have too many earthquake disrupting and shaking up the already active volcanoes.
