- The Challenges of the Natural Hazards
- Natural Hazards
- They are a process which could cause death injury or disruption to humans or destroy properties and possession
- Two types of hazards
- Meteorologica
- Geological
- Different Factor that affect the hazards
- Vulnerability=Number of people exposed to an area
- Nature of the Natural hazard=type, frequency and magnitude
- Capacity to cope=Level of income
- Tectonic Hazard
- Tectonic plates
- The crust,Mantle , Outer core and Inner Core
- Plate margins
- Destructive
- Conservative
- Constructive
- Volcanoes and Earthquakes
- Volcanoes are found at the destructive and constructive plate boundary
- Earthquakes are found at all the plate margins
- Management Strategy
- Monitoring
- Predication
- Protection
- Planning
- Tectonic plates
- Weather Hazards
- Global atmospheric Circulation
- Tropical Storms
- They is in the centre and there is a low pressure, light winds, no cloud and no rain plus high temperature
- Climate change means that there will be a rise sea temperature this means that number of tropical storms plus they will have a higher intensity
- Surrounded by the eyewall Storm clouds and torrential rain
- Edges of the storm the wind speed decrease the clouds are much smaller rain is less intense and temperature increases
- Hurricane Katrina
- Prediction: use data to monitor the storms
- Planning :Evacuation plans
- Protection: Building homes on stilts
- Extreme UK weather
- Weather is becoming more extreme due to climate change Temperature extreme there is a lot of rain plus there have been flooding happening
- Prediction: Warning systems
- Protection: Stocking up gritters and salt supplies to keep roads safe
- Planning: Emergency services prepare themselves
- Climate Change
- Evidence for Climate change :Ice Cores and Temperature records
- Quaternary period is the most recent geological time period
- Cause
- orbital change
- Volcanic actvity
- Solar Output
- Burning Fossil Fuel
- Farming
- Deforestation
- Managing Climate Change
- planting trees
- Carbon capture
- Renewable energy
- International agreements
- Changing agriculture
- Managing water supply
- Coping with sealevel rising
- Natural Hazards
