  Semana 2: Pacas Tectónicas (China) Esta semana estaremos hablando sobre las placas tectónicas para conocer la importancia de la ubicación de estas. Ya que de ahí provienen muchos de los desastres naturales como terremotos y volcanes.    Las placas principales que afectan a China son:  La Placa Euroasiática es la principal placa sobre la que se encuentra la mayor parte de China. La Placa Indoaustraliana colisiona con la placa euroasiática, lo que ha levantado la cordillera del Himalaya e influye en la geología de China. La Placa del Pacífico que se encuentra en la costa oriental de China, particularmente en el área de Taiwán. La Placa del Mar de Filipinas afecta la región sur de China, particularmente el área de Taiwán.  Como podemos observar, China se encuentra rodeada por diferentes placas tectónicas lo que provoca que su geología sea compleja y haya mucha actividad sísmica.  https://www.google.com/search?q=donde+se+encuentran+las+placas+tect%C3%B3nicas+...

  China is a country located in East Asia. It is the third largest country in the world. It is home to some of the world's largest cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Tianjin. It has great geographical diversity: mountainous regions, deserts, plateaus, and fertile plains. Due to its complex geographical location, it is a meeting point for tectonic zones, which causes earthquakes and tsunamis. Due to its extensive coastline, it is exposed to tropical cyclones, as well as floods, droughts, and storms. It also suffers from water shortages and land subsidence due to mining. China suffered the world's worst flood in 1931 and has experienced six of the ten deadliest floods and landslides in the world. It has also suffered three of the world's deadliest earthquakes, including the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which claimed more than 70,000 lives. It is important to discuss the difference between hazards, disasters, and catastrophes. Hazard is a process that creates a very...
