Natural Hazard 1 of 31 The chance or probability of being affected by a natural event. Hazard Risk 2 of 31 Immediate damage following a tectonic hazard. Primary Effects 3 of 31 Consequences of tectonic hazards. Secondary Effects 4 of 31 Actions as soon as a tectonic hazard occurs. Immediate Responses 5 of 31 Actions of governments and charities in the months and years after a tectonic hazard. Long-Term Responses 6 of 31 Reducing the causes of a natural hazard. Mitigation 7 of 31 Responding to changes. Adaption 8 of 31 The force of water wearing away at rocks or the riverbank. Hydraulic Action 9 of 31 When the rocks in the load wear away at each other. Attrition 10 of 31 The load being transported wears away at the river banks and bed. Abrasion 11 of 31 When the river dissolves soluble soft rock such as limestone and chalk. Solution 12 of 31 Large rocks or boulders rolling along a river bed. Traction 13 of 31 Small pebbles bounce along the river bed. Saltation 14 of 31 Small sediment is 'held' in the river. Suspension 15 of 31 The transportation of dissolved load. Solution 16 of 31 Methods to reduce flood risk involving man-made structures. Hard Engineering 17 of 31 Methods to reduce flood risk by working with the natural processes. Soft Engineering 18 of 31 (Simply) when water freezes in rocks, expands and thaws. Freeze-Thaw Weathering 19 of 31 The sandpaper effect where the weight of ice scours along the valley floor. Abrasion 20 of 31 Meltwater beneath a glacier freezes and sticks to rocky surface below. The glacier then moves. Plucking 21 of 31 When glaciers change shape in Winter. Internal Deformation 22 of 31 What meltwater causes in Summer. Basal/Rotational Slip 23 of 31 When a glacier pushes moraine down a valley. Bulldozing 24 of 31 Occurs when glaciers lose energy after melting. Deposition 25 of 31 The increasing proportion of the world's population living in cities. Urbanisation 26 of 31 A city with more than one million people. Millionaire City 27 of 31 A city with more than ten million people. Megacity 28 of 31 Having a quality of life less than what is seen as acceptable in your country. Urban Deprivation 29 of 31 Management of water conservation, energy conservation, waste recycling and green space. Sustainable Urban Living 30 of 31 The most approved economic measure of development, this measure incorporates many categories such as literacy rates and life expectancy. Human Development Index 31 of 31
