In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geochemical monitoring programs currently run by INGV which focus on the analysis of temporal changes‚ chemical changes and seismic activity. This option open to the Italians is not an option for LEDC who don’t have the wealth or public education to set up these stations. An example of an LEDC with no planning and prevention plans

often think of LEDCs and MEDCs however it is true now more than ever that the boundaries between categories are blurred. There are the extreme opposites of LDCs and MDCs and then the vague limbo of NICs and RICs. To potentially confuse this further there are countries in a Venn diagram like structure of being in multiple categories like those in OPEC or the G8. However for the sake of comparing the developed and developing world it is more beneficial to consider countries as MEDCs i.e. developed

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of a volcanic hazard (40 marks) Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe therefore bringing hazards to every affected area. A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards

In both cases‚ it causes many problems such as an increase in water consumption by 70% in MEDC countries whilst diseases spread much faster due to poor water conditions. As LEDC cities grow‚ so does the demand for water. The problem doesn’t end when water supplies have been improved and pipes put in place. The water has got to come from somewhere‚ and the source of supply may be scarce. It is LEDCS whoever

Every country is separated in two categories‚ MEDC and LEDC; which stands for More Economically Developed Country and Less Economically Developed Country.

A massive problem in Bangladesh is flooding this is caused by higher precipitation levels for example snow (this could come from the Himalayas) and could increase river and sea levels.

Natural hazards caused by plate tectonics are earthquakes‚ volcanic eruptions (and tsunamis – secondary effect of the first two). It is important to understand that there is a clear division between a natural hazard and a natural disaster. A good example would be the 1906 San Francisco earthquake which killed about 3000 people and was a disaster‚ whereas the population of 342‚782 people (San Francisco 1900 Census) living
