Topic 1 Tectonic Hazards and Processes

1.1 The global distribution of tectonic hazards can be explained by plate boundary and other tectonic processes. 1.2 There are theoretical frameworks that attempt to explain plate movements. 1.3 Physical processes explain the causes of tectonic hazards. 1.4 Disaster occurrence can be explained by the relationship between hazards, vulnerability, resilience and disaster. 1.5 Tectonic hazard profiles are important to an understanding of contrasting hazard impacts, vu...
