Earthquake occurrence in different plate tectonic settings: There are three main plate tectonic environments: extensional, transform, and compressional. Plate boundaries in different localities are subject to different inter-plate stresses, producing these three types of earthquakes. Each type has its own special hazards.
Hydrology, therefore, is a broad science that utilizes information from a wide range of other sciences and integrates them to quantify the movement of water. The fundamental tools of hydrology are based in supporting scientific techniques that originated in mathematics, physics, engineering, chemistry, geology, and biology.
The hydrological cycle is a closed circulation of the water in its three phases inside the climatic system. It is a closed sequence of natural phenomena, in which the globe provides the atmosphere with water vapour, that afterwards returns in liquid or solid phases to the globe. The natural phenomena that make up the hydrological cycle are: a) the transfer of water, in its gaseous phase, from the globe to the atmosphere, by the evaporation of
