What is slab pull theory?
The process of a tectonic plate descending into the mantle is named subduction, and slab pull occurs when an oceanic plate subducts into the underlying mantle

What are the 3 main types of volcanoes?
Composite, shield and dome, composite volcanoes often known as strato volcanoes due to their steep sided cones formed from several layers of ash
3 of 8
Name the 3 C/S for Earthquakes
Haiti, Sichuan, and Japan earthquake and tsunami, All showing different levels of devlopment and how it was dealt with in terms of the countries level of development

Name the 3 steps of a Tsunami forming
1. Generation of a tsunami in deep ocean 2. Tsunami run up 3.Landfall

What is the formula for hazard risk?
Risk(R) = Hazard(H) x Vulnerability(V) / Capacity to cope(C)

What is the Park model and what does it show?
The park model is a hazard reponse curve demonstrating how a country or region may respond after a hazard or catastrophe. It can be used to show the differing levels of development in different areas and how they may recover

What are the 4 stages to the hazard management cycle?
The process of a tectonic plate descending into the mantle is named subduction, and slab pull occurs when an oceanic plate subducts into the underlying mantle
