1. Natural Hazard A natural hazard is a natural process which could cause death, injury or
disruption to humans, or destroy property or possessions.
2. Natural disaster A natural hazard that has actually happened
3. Geological haz-
ards Caused by kand and tectonic processes
4. Meteorologica
l hazards Caused by weather and climate
5. Factors
affecting
hazard risk Urbanisation, poverty, development, climate change
6. Tectonic plates Slabs of the Earth's crust
7. Continental crust thicker and less dense
8. Oceanic crust thinner and more dense
9. Tectonic
plate caused by convection currents underneath the Earth's crust
movement
10. Destructive plate Two plates moving towards one another, oceanic plate subducts under
continental plate and friction causes melting of oceanic plate, triggers
earthquake
11. Constructiv
e plates Two plates move apart, magma forces way along gap and causes
earthquake, erupted lava cools and forms volcano
