Luis Vazquez Professor Ana Garcia-Garcia Geology 9 9 December 2018 Final South Korea Hazard report During my research and assessment of South Korea’s natural disasters, the main dangerous overall  hazard for South Korea are earthquakes. Earthquakes can create other natural disasters and effects. According to Natural Hazards: Earth's Processes as Hazards, Disasters, and Catastrophes,  Keller and DeVecchio explain that earthquakes connect other most danger disasters such as sinkhole, landslides, tsunamis, and fire (ppg. 77- 81).  Amurian plate is a complex tectonic plate in South Korea. According to Wikipedia, these boundaries of divergent, convergent and transform can create destructive earthquakes due to the movement tectonic plate. South Korean earthquakes have shown massive destruction in the past and history, so it is better to prioritize this hazard for minimizing massive destruction. For instance, South Korea had historical powerful earthquakes between 6.7-7.5
