Clues

  • a perceived natural event which has the potential to threaten both lives and properties (6)
  • hazards caused by a combination of human and natural hazards such as the Fukushima power plant disater in 2011 (2, 4, 7)
  • hazards caused by the earth by tectonic/ geological events such as eathquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides and tsunamis (11, 7)
  • hazards which are not one off events but are ongoing such as climate change and teh destruction of mangroves and the rainforest (7, 7)
  • human made hazards such as the chernobyl powere station disaster of 1986 (6, 7)
  • one off hazards such as super volcanoes and meteor strikes (5, 7)
  • shaped by state of human development, poverty levels, living in fragile enviroments and an inability to cope with hazards. vulnerability is shown in Dregg's model (13)
  • the actual consequenceas of a hazard or the realisation of hazards to casue social impacts such as loss of lives and livelihoods and econoic impacts such as damage to property and goods. (9)
  • the probability of a hazard occuring and becoming a disaster as a result of loss of lives and livelihoods, goods and property (4)
  • threats that affect the whole world arising from global environmental changes such as climate change or from a major hazard such as asteroids and super volcanoes (7, 7)
