Earthquakes, one of the most devastating natural disasters, are primarily the result of interactions among tectonic plates. These hazards not only cause immediate destruction but also have long-term socio-economic and environmental consequences. This research article provides a comprehensive and critical analysis of plate tectonics and its relationship with seismic hazards, with a particular focus on disaster preparedness. It examines the nature of tectonic processes, the spatial distribution of earthquakes, and the varying degrees of vulnerability across regions. The study also explores the role of technology, governance, and community participation in reducing seismic risks. By integrating geological insights with disaster management strategies, the article emphasizes the urgent need for proactive, inclusive, and science-based approaches to enhance resilience in earthquake-prone regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Plate Tectonics, Seismic Hazards, Earthquake Risk, Disaster Preparedness, Tectonic Plate Boundaries, Seismic Vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 218-225<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/218-225.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Shyamsundar Sau DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/03110025 Abstract: The theory of plate tectonics has fundamentally transformed our understanding of the Earth\u2019s dynamic processes and the occurrence of seismic hazards.
