Which can you answer now, and
which do you need a hint?
Japan sits along a
subduction zone which
makes it a hotbed of
volcanic and tectonic
activity. What can these
activities create in an
ocean environment?
F monsoons
G tsunamis
H El Ninas
J typhoons
Because the island
regions of Southeast Asia
were formed by tectonic
forces, all of the following
are hazards that they face
except —
F tsunamis
G volcanoes
H hurricanes
J earthquakes
What is El
Nino?
• Ocean winds change
yearly, causing “lethal
heatwaves in India and
Texas, rainfall in Texas,
late monsoons, fires in
the Indonesian
rainforests, floods in
Bangladesh and China,
mudslides in California,
drought in Australia and
harvest failures in
Africa.”
