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.
Embryology is also known as developmental anatomy. It is concerned with the study of development of an embryo from a single cell to a complete human being. Embryology provides details of the prenatal and postnatal developmental changes in the body and the mechanisms by which these changes occur.
