Explain the effects of earthquake and volcanic eruption on a selected Caribbean country

Geography

Trava [24]3 years ago

An earthquake and a volcanic eruption on Grenada will have devastating effects.

Explanation:

The Caribbean countries (in this case we'll speak about Grenada) that have active volcanoes tend to be small islands. This makes them ultra vulnerable if a natural disaster or combination of multiple natural disasters strikes. The reason as to why they are in such bad position if this occurs is because everything will be stranded on a very small area, with the full effect of the disaster being felt, no one will be able to get to a safe place, and it is hard for help to come from other countries.

A stronger volcanic eruption combined with an earthquake has the capability of destroying the majority or all of the infrastructure in this country. But it is not that that will be the most tragic, it will be that all of the population will be stranded and in danger to get injured or end up dead which can go so far that the country may even seize to exist.

Margaret [11]
At 1312 feet below sea level, the dead sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface. The bottom of the Dead sea is considered the lowest point of land on earth. This lies between the border of Israel and Jordon. The lowest point in the sea on earth is the Marianas Trench present below the Pacific ocean. The Dead sea is actually a salt lake. The salinity of the water is so high that floating on the Dead sea is the easiest. The saltiness of the water of Dead sea is approximately 8.6 times higher than any of the present oceans. except for a few bacteria and Fungi, there are no living organisms present in the Dead sea.
