Nuclear energy is created during a fission or fusion, and is typically used to generate electricity. Nuclear power plants use the fission or fusion reaction to create the nuclear energy, which generates heat. This heat the power plants use to transform the heat energy into electricity. Fission is where large nuclei are split into smaller nuclei. Fusion is where the small nuclei are put together to create large nuclei. These two reactions create nuclear energy.
Answer:
There are three types of plate boundaries. Each of them have natural disasters that they cause.
Explanation:
1. divergent boundaries- two plates are moving away form each other and magma moves up into the empty space
a. two continental plates make a rift valley; such as the east african rift valley
b. two ocean plates make rifts and ridges; such as the mid-atlantic rift
2. convergent boundaries- a direct collision of one plate with another
a. one oceanic plate and one continental plate form volcanoes; such as mount saint helens
b. two continental plates push up onto each other and make a folded mountain; such as mount everest
c. two oceanic plates form an island arc; such as japan island
3. transform boundaries two plates slide past each other creating a fault
a. not many examples of this, but san andreas fault in california is one
