Thailand

Welcome back! Today we will be discussing Thailand's volcanic activity. As far as any recent activity no updates have been posted in about two to three years. Other countries surrounded by Thailand such as Indonesia has faced some sort of volcanic eruptions. In the year 2014, Indonesia was faced with the aftermath of two volcanic eruptions. In the month of February 2014 at least 34 people were killed questioning, the country if it's well equipped to handle such thing.

In relations to Earth's plate tectonics, Thailand falls under the category of Eurasian plate. http://education.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?layers=69cb1f185afa47528708dbaa89e0729b&useExisting=1 According to Southeast Asia Research Group, " It is surrounded on all sides by volcanic and seismic activity, including the subduction at the Sumatra-Java-Timor trench, and collision between Australia and eastern Indonesia."  Certain hazards that occur in  Thailand could be anything from flooding, droughts, tropical storms, earthquakes, and landslides.  https://reliefweb.int/sites/reliefweb.int/files/resources/OCHA_ROAP_Tectonics_v1_2014_0.pdf

Hello and Welcome! I'd like to introduce myself, my name is Briana. I just wanted to say thank you for visiting my blog! The country I'll be discussing during the course will be Thailand. In order to get an understanding of Thailand's geological features, terms and their definitions must be discussed. A catastrophe is a major disaster that requires a significant amount of money and requires a long time for recovery. While, a disaster is a limited event in a specific area that has affected 100 people or killed 10 people. A natural hazard is a threatening natural event, that is a threat to human life and property. Lastly, natural processes only are a hazard when humans stand in the way.
