The document discusses different types of natural disasters including cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, and major flooding. It provides some key details about earthquakes such as them being caused by the movement of tectonic plates and that they can trigger other disasters like tsunamis and landslides. Tsunamis are also examined in more depth, explaining they can be triggered by earthquakes under the sea.

3. EARTHQUAKES
 Shift in the earths tectonic
plates.
 Tectonic plates are around
100km thick
 Australia sits on the Indo-
Australian Plate
 Can trigger Tsunamis,
Landslides and Volcanoes

4. EARTH’S TECTONIC PLATES
 Indo-Australian Tectonic Plate
 There are approx 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world
each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause
damage.
