PLate Tectonic Thoeries
...e super continent Pangeae began to break up about two-hundred twenty-five million years ago, eventually fragmenting into the continents as we know them today. Why would I want to create major population center located near an active fault zone, such as the San Andreas fault, millions of people would suffer? I understand that not all fault movements are destructive or violent, but as with volcanic activity it is very devastating. Volcanic activity is also linked to the plate-tectonic process. When they erupt, they produce a considerable amount of damage and deaths. For example June or 1991 the eruption of Mount Pinatubo was global. A slightly cooler than usual temperatures recorded world wide and brilliant sunsets and sunrises that set fine ash and gases hi...
