Hazards Practice Questions:
= completed.
4 Markers:
Outline the process of liquefaction.
Outline processes which lead to the formation of fold mountains.
9 markers:
Seismic activity offshore will always present a greater threat to people than seismic activity
on land.’ To what extent do you agree with this view?
To what extent do you agree that the impact of volcanic activity can be mitigated against
more effectively than tropical storms?
How far do you agree that secondary impacts of volcanic eruptions present a greater long-
term threat to people than primary impacts?
With reference to one or more tropical storms that you have studied, assess the extent to
which exogenous factors (relationships with other places) assisted with the response to the
hazard created.
To what extent do you agree that seismic events will always generate more widespread and
severe impacts than volcanic events?
Assess the importance of factors in globalisation in supporting the response to major
seismic hazards.
20 Markers:
How far do you agree that storms and wildfires are increasing in frequency and intensity,
presenting an increasing threat to people?
Assess the relative usefulness of the Park Model and the Hazard Management Cycle in
understanding the impact of seismic events.
‘The Disaster Response Curve (The Park Model) has contributed to improved understanding
and therefore management of the impact of tropical storms.’ To what extent do you agree
with this view?
With reference to a recent volcanic event, assess the extent to which you agree that
physical factors are more important than human factors in determining the level of impacts
experienced by the local population.
