  1. here in Australia, we are lucky enough to be situated
  2. in the middle of an indo Australian tectonic plate.
  3. We avoid earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis, which are all results
  4. from tectonic plate activity.
  5. However, others are not so lucky.
  6. Those living on fault lines and even worse to ring
  7. of fire are constantly under threat by these natural disasters.
  8. But what is worse, this investigation will explore the claim
  9. that earthquakes are more destructive than volcanoes.
  10. By analyzing the question to volcanoes, earthquakes have a greater
  11. impact on the lives of Indonesian citizens.
  12. In order to answer this question, information must be gathered
  13. on the environment, infrastructure, economy, history of natural disasters and
  14. the extent of rebuilding availability for earthquakes and the volcano
  15. is in the Indonesian region.
  16. The first factor that will inform whether volcanoes and earthquakes
  17. have a greater impact on Indonesian citizens is the impact
  18. on environment.
  19. Shit. How did the environment get affected by these natural
  20. disasters? When a volcano erupts, it releases volcanic gases, irish
  21. shell droplets and ash that is injected into the stratosphere.
  22. That has a negative impact on the climate effects of
  23. global warming and global cooling also takes place.
  24. Earthquakes can promote landslides and fires that can damage, compress
  25. or destroy greenery during earthquakes.
  26. Ground failure also occurs.
  27. This is a physical process that affects solids, roads, buildings
  28. and more.
  29. Therefore, it can be said that earthquakes affect the environment
  30. more than volcanoes.
  31. How does the infrastructure get affected in the Indonesian region?
  32. After a volcano slash earthquake, volcanoes damage infrastructure by burning
  33. buildings to a crisp, so there is nothing but dust
  34. and ash left having a negative impact.
  35. However, okay, earthquakes can damage infrastructure in the region by
  36. buildings being shaken to fall and crumble and higher buildings
  37. falling on top of multiple smaller buildings, creating more destruction.
  38. The same Murata Indonesian earthquake of 2004 had a destruction
  39. of approximately 135,448 homes seriously damaged.
  40. This is evidence that earthquakes have major damage on the
  41. society's infrastructure.
  42. Overall, it is clear to you now that earthquakes have
  43. a more infrastructural and social damage.
  44. The economy is majorly affected because of volcanoes and earthquakes.
  45. Okay, uh huh, volcanoes affect many farms because of Asheville.
  46. Asheville can have serious effects on agricultural crops killing livestock.
  47. This puts a huge restraint on farmers work as it
  48. limits their pope loose that they can give to the
  49. economy, volcanoes have caused physical damage to buildings, manufacturing vehicles,
  50. inventory and supplies.
  51. And without those key resources, businesses are forced to shut
  52. down temporarily affecting the economy.
  53. Majorly, much like volcanoes, earthquakes have effects on livelihood of
  54. rural farmers as they have masses losses and damage that
  55. occurred to croplands, physical infrastructure, livestock shelters, agricultural tools, equipment
  56. and manufacturing.
  57. So farmers would struggle to produce and contribute to the
  58. company. With this evidence it is provided, it is clear
  59. that earthquakes have a greater impact on societies.
  60. Community. Yeah.
  61. Indonesia being so close to tectonic plates have extremely big
  62. volcanoes and earthquakes.
  63. The biggest volcano in the region was Guanine.
  64. Tomorrow. Okay, was a volcano that exploded in April, 59,
  65. It is the largest volcano eruption ever recorded in history.
  66. 100,000 people died and destroyed the homes of 35,000 more.
  67. This shows how the structure of this volcano was.
  68. The volcanic eruption had a magnitude of seven on the
  69. volcanic explosive index ve.
  70. I scale this volcano was formed by two tectonic plates
  71. moving under one another.
  72. But as you can see in this diagram, the biggest
  73. earthquake in the region was the same arata Oceanic earthquake
  74. of 2004.
  75. This earth quake had a magnitude of 9.1, as it
  76. Is the top 10 largest boat cake earthquake in the
  77. history. Many people died and went missing.
  78. This earthquake occurred along the tectonic subduction zone, meaning the
  79. 2-2 tectonic plates pushed against one another and folded down.
  80. Therefore, this research shows that earthquakes have a greater damage
  81. on society and the planet.
  82. How long did it take to rebuild after this volcano?
  83. After a volcanic eruption, lava melts down to the surface
  84. and covers the area.
  85. It was closest to when lava among them cools.
  86. It turns into rocks, making this area inhabitable as a
  87. result, infection, disease and respiratory illnesses group, which kind to
  88. cause the citizens to pack up what they had and
  89. find a different area to rebuild their town.
  90. This research shows that rebuilding processes would have been quite
  91. difficult to tackle for the Indonesian community.
  92. How long did it take the world be after this
  93. earthquake? The same Murata earthquake.
  94. The recovery period took several weeks to months or much
  95. longer, depending on the damage that has been done.
  96. There were multiple things that can be done to minimize
  97. the long term effects on on an earthquake.
  98. So it is evident that the earthquake rebuilding process is
  99. more strategical than physical rebuttable damage.
  100. That volcano rebuilding processes.
  101. After the extensive research, the conclusion that can be made
  102. is that earthquakes have a greater impact on the lives
  103. of Indonesian citizens and a more destructive than volcanoes.
  104. This conclusion has been made by analyzing the effects of
  105. the natural disasters on infrastructure, the economy, environment, and by
  106. looking at faster
