PASSED 100%
Any natural process that is a potential threat to human life and property - Correct
Answer ✔✔ Natural Hazard
Urbanisation, poverty, development, climate change - Correct Answer ✔✔ Factors
affecting hazard risk
Two plates move apart, magma forces way along gap and causes earthquake, erupted
lava cools and forms volcano - Correct Answer ✔✔ Constructive plates
The practice of using an area's natural environment to attract tourists which is
sustainable and won't damage area - Correct Answer ✔✔ Ecotourism
Two plates moving towards one another, oceanic plate subducts under continental plate
and friction causes melting of oceanic plate, triggers earthquake - Correct Answer ✔✔
Destructive plate
Two plates moving alongside, friction can send shockwaves causing earthquakes -
Correct Answer ✔✔ Conservative plate
Coastline and tectonic plate boundaries - Correct Answer ✔✔ Where are volcanoes
distributed?
Coastline and tectonic plate boundaries - Correct Answer ✔✔ Where are earthquakes
distributed?
27th feb 2010, 8.8 Richter scale, caused on destructive plate margin
PE- 5000 deaths, Santiago airport damaged
SE- 1500km road damaged by landslide
IR- Emergency service floating bridge, field hospitals
LTR- President said 4 years to recover - Correct Answer ✔✔ Chile HIC earthquake
25th april 2015, 7.9 Richter scale, caused by collision of eurasian and Australian plate
PE- 3 mil homeless
SE- Avalanche 250 missing
IR- Social media search, field hospitals
LTR- Homeless rehoused, tourist site reopened - Correct Answer ✔✔ Nepal LIC
earthquake
, Rarity of volcano explosion, poverty, fertile flood plain soils - Correct Answer ✔✔ Why
would people live next to natural hazards?
Monitoring- using scientific equipment to detect warning
Prediction- historical events
Protection- designing buildings
Planning- identifying and avoiding places at risk - Correct Answer ✔✔ How to reduce
risk from tectonic hazard
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents. - Correct Answer
✔✔ Coriolis effect
26 degrees water, close to equator, warm ocean heats air causing it to rise, water
evaporates from hot surface, so rising air contains water vapour, air starts to spin, eye is
calm - Correct Answer ✔✔ Formation of a storm
5-15 degrees north and south of equator because there is not enough spin from the
rotation of the earth elsewhere - Correct Answer ✔✔ Where do storms form?
Distribution, frequency, intensity - Correct Answer ✔✔ What 3 features can climate
change effect in a storm?
November 2013, category 5, Philippines
PE- Tacloban airport damage
SE- Looting and violence
IR- Red cross gave food
LTR- Oxfam supported fishing boats for income, cash for cleaning city - Correct Answer
✔✔ Typhoon Haiyan
Jan 2014 South West, caused by wettest Jan and low pressure driven across Atlantic
ocean
Social- 16 evacuated farms, no power
Economic- £10m
Environmental- Debris to be cleared
IR- Villagers used boats to be evacuated
LTR- £20m action plan to prevent flood by government - Correct Answer ✔✔ Somerset
Levels Flood
Water is held back in a dam and released in a controlled way, is expensive, makes
hydroelectric power, agricultural land lost - Correct Answer ✔✔ Dam construction
(preventing flood)
River may be widened or deepened to carry more water or straightened to flow faster,
altering could lead to flood downstream - Correct Answer ✔✔ River engineering
(preventing flood)
