Monitoring, Planning, Protection and Prediction of tectonic hazards.

A mindmap of all MPPP i could find in my notes for tectonic hazards.

  • MPPP
    • Monitoring
      • Lasers
        • Laser beams are used to detect movement by directing the beam across the fault line.
      • Gas emissions
        • Gas emissions can be monitored.. such as SO2. If it increases this suggests an eruption...
      • Satellite images
        • Scientists can monitor the thermal activity and any changes in volcanoes.
    • Prediction
      • Animal behaviour
        • TMT animals may react before it occurs, but this is unreliable and only suggested.
      • Ground deformation
        • The swelling of ground can be measured. If the rate changes, an eruption may be occuring.
    • Planning
      • Governments can plan evacuation routes
      • Educating people so they know what to do in a hazard.
        • TMT they can act fast. This means that fewer people die.
      • Emergency services can practice rescuing people from damaged buildings,
        • TMT if the hazard occurs, emergency services can be more effective and save more lives.
    • Protection
      • Buildings can have:
        • Shutters
          • TMT windows are protected, glass-related injuries are reduced.
        • Shock absorbers
          • TMT the building is less likely to collapse
        • Lattice work steel foundations
          • TMT the building is really stable
        • Reinforced beds
          • TMT people are protected from falling buildings.
  • Stock pile emergency supplies
    • People will have sufficient food to survive if it occurs.
      • People can easily get away from the hazard fast.
        • Governments can plan evacuation routes
  • VOLCANO:
  • EARTHQUAKES:
  • VOLCANO:
    • Seismic waves
      • TMT increase in frequency of seismic/earthquake waves shows if the volcano is getting ready to erupt.
  • EARTHQUAKES:
  • Overall, buildings can be strengthened.
