- Natural Hazards 2
- Why do people live in tectonically active areas?
- Geothermal energy(heat from Magma) WHY? Renewable. Little to no CO2
- Farming(volcanic soil) WHY? Creates volcanic coffee. Brings sulfur- nutrient for the plant
- Mining(sulphur from crater of volcano take up to become solid) WHY? Used for whitening sugar, cosmetics and skin medicine
- Tourism(hot springs, pools, streams etc.) WHY? Water gives healing effects to some diseases. Relaxing and people enjoy calming down.
- Hazard management
- MONITORING: detecting and recording physical changes and warning signs.
- PREDICTING: using monitoring and other to predict when a tectonic event may occur.
- PROTECTING: Physically designing things that will withstand tectonic hazards.
- PLANNING: Having systems in place, such as evacuation routes so that the population is prepared in advance.
- Examples of effects and responses after earthquake
- PE: How many people are killed or injured.
- SE: Homelessness, tsunami, landslide.
- IR: Medical care, food and water, shelters.
- LTR: Rebuilding infrastructure, setting up warning systems, building defence mechanisms
- KEY TERMS
- Primary effects: effects that are directly caused by the hazard itself.
- Secondary effects: effects caused indirectly/occurred later.
- Responses: immediate and long term.
