PAR Model - Dynamic Pressures (5) - Answer>>- Lack of

- No warning systems for locals
- Disease and fire can spread easily between households

than one natural hazard. These locations: are tectonically active
and so earthquakes (and often eruptions) are common.

are especially attracted to global hub cities, those with an
unusually high density of transport, business, political and cultural

globalisation.
Players in Cultural Erosion - Answer>>-TNCs such as Coke,
