No recent volcanoes have erupted in CA. The last volcano erupted on May 22, 1915

I think 3 for volcanos because they are a few volcanos in California but they are either extinct or dormant. There is a chance of them irrupting but it is very low. California is right by the north American plate boundary so it is possible to irrupt but the chances are few.

I think 10 for earthquakes because there are quite a few earthquakes everyday, every week, ever month, and every year. There are two different types of earthquakes ones that effect you and ones you cant even feel. California is right by the north American plate boundary. Witch means that there are a lot of plate shifting going on that could release at any time.

I would say no to insure building in California because it is right by the tectonic plates. Witch means that there are daily earthquakes. If an earthquake is bad enough it could take down lots of houses and buildings. We would have to pay a lot of money for all these houses to be rebuilt. Since there is not a lot of active volcanos so it wouldn’t be as dangerous to live by a volcano. But one wrong shift in the tectonic plates the whole volcano could erupt. The best thing for us to do is to not insure California so that we don’t have to pay for any natural disasters.

California’s San Andreas Fault is a transform boundary which is the reason for most earthquakes and volcanos. The two plates surrounding California are the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.

Volcano:

I think 5 because there are quite a few volcanos in Chile and

they haven't erupted in a while. The last eruption was in 2012 so

I think a volcano could irrupted any minute but maybe not a lot

of magnitude. Most volcanos in Chile are around the convergent

boundary. There has been a lot of volcanic eruption in the past

100-150 years. Since they are on the tectonic plate boundary

the plate could move in one wrong direction and a volcano

could get angry.

Earthquake: I think 8 because there is a lot

of earthquakes and a lot of them are huge. I

think earthquakes could happen any time in

the future because Chile is located on a

convergent tectonic plate boundary.

I would not insure Chile because there is/has been a lot of

earthquakes and volcanos there. So I wouldn’t want to pay

for insurance for people who live near the convergent

boundary. I would feel better id I didn’t have to insure Chile

so then i can save my money for other places, Chile hasn’t

had a lot of earthquakes or volcanos in the last very days and weeks but they could happen in any time.

The type of boundary around chile is called a convergent boundary (continental vs oceanic plate). The Nazca plate and the south American surrounded Chile

29 days ago 5.3 magnitude, 92 km depth Tateyama, Chiba, Japan

29 days ago 5.0 magnitude, 30 km depth Miyako, Iwate, Japan

Volcanos: I absolutely think 10 because there are over 200 volcanos in Japan and most of them are active. i think it is very dangerous to live in japan because there is a very big chance of something happening around you. Japan is an volcanic island which means there are a lot of volcanic rocks on the island. The last volcanic eruption in Japan was in 2013 from the volcano called Sakurajima (or Sakura Island). It was a huge explosion! The volcano is located across Kagoshima Bay only 8 km east of the city of Kagoshima with a population of half a million. It destroys many houses and buildings. This volcano has been erupting since the 8th century so I think it cold et worse and cause more earthquakes and those earthquakes could form new volcanoes.

Earthquakes: I think 5 because there aren’t many

earthquakes but a big on could happen any time.

There is a lot of volcanos in japan which could

cause earthquakes. I don’t think japan is safe.

I would decently not insure japan because there are too many volcanos and tsunamis that are active and could destroy many building and cause danger to lots of people . Japan lies on a convergent boundary so a lot of earthquakes and volcanos could happen. I wouldn’t want to live in

japan because t is not very safe.

Japan is on a convergent plate boundary which is when an oceanic meets an oceanic plate and one is denser so it slides under the other part of the ocean. Pacific plate, North American plate, Philippine plate, and the Eurasian plate surround Japan.

I think 2 because only one or two volcanoes are active including Erta Ale that recently erupted . It has been constantly erupting since 1967 and it will probably keep erupting until it has had enough. Erta Ale is the worst volcano in Ethiopia and it is also the only one that has erupted in a while. Ethiopia is one of the safer places to live except that one volcanos.

I think Ethiopia will continue having earthquakes just like now because it is near the edge of the African tectonic plate boundary so I don’t think the earthquakes will completely stop. I think 2 because there aren’t a lot of earthquakes in Ethiopia. Most of them are above 5.0 M but they don’t destroy much. There aren’t much earthquakes at all every year. This year there has only been one.

There might be something to fix once in a while but I think it will be good. There aren’t much

houses near volcanoes so it would be safer than most places if a volcano erupts. Earthquakes

don’t happen often because the edge of the African plate does not run right through Ethiopia so

when the plate moves Ethiopia isn’t disturbed much. I would insure in Ethiopia because it

doesn’t have much volcanoes and earthquakes and even if it does have one once and a while

they aren’t very big. There aren’t much houses near volcanoes so it would be safer than most

places if a volcano erupts. Earthquakes don’t happen often because the edge of the African

plate does not run right through Ethiopia so when the plate moves Ethiopia isn’t disturbed

much. I think it will be okay if I insure in Ethiopia.

Out of the four countries that you have given us to research on I would insure 1 of them. We have agreed to insure:• Ethiopia: There is not a lot of earthquakes. • And the percentage is low for more earthquakes or volcanos. They other 3 countries are too risky to insure.

I thought this project was challenging but fun to find out more information about these four countries. At sometimes I was very confused. I was stuck, but I had to show perservierents to keep going and not give up.
