Mekong River,Thailand The Mekong River runs through many countries like China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Many people rely on this river for multiple things. Their main food source comes from the river. Fish are caught, plants are grown, and transported to other locations to be sold. The river also is a way of travel. Around the river is a jungle like terrain. The soil is vary fertile because of the river so it is relatively easy for plant life to grow. This river shows how life is dependant on water. This is one of many ways that shows the sembeotic reationship batween water and humans.

Earthquake Webquest

1.A Earthquakes happen the most next to plate boundaries.
B North American Plate, South American Plate, Eurasian Plate, Arabian Plate, Antarctic Plate, and Indo-Australia

2. I think most earthquakes happen next to plate boundaries because the plates could colide with each other or separate.

3. The "Ring of fire" North Pacific Rim is the area that gets the most earthquakes.

4.Thursday, January 15, 2009 at 12:10:02 PM in Colorado. .5 km (3.1 miles) beneath the ground. Less then a level 3.5 is not felt but can be recorded. Not much ground shaking would happen but it would be more than a level 1 earthquake. This level 3 earthquake would be releasing twenty time more energy then a level 1 earthquake.
