the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

question 1: the kuwaiti government announced us$1.5 million in aid for rohingya refugees.they pointed out that it was imperative to take immediate and concrete steps to ramp up pressure on myanmar to put an end to the violence.and said   that they r just shameful

question 2: the rohingyas were not aloud to be seen as people in myanmar.in the last few years, before the latest crisis, thousands of rohingya were making perilous journeys out of myanmar to escape communal violence or alleged abuses by the security forces.the latest exodus began on 25 august 2017 after rohingya arsa militants launched deadly attacks on more than 30 police posts.rohingyas arriving in an area known as cox's bazaar - a district in bangladesh - say they fled after troops, backed by local buddhist mobs, responded by burning their villages and attacking and killing civilians.
