NEW JERSEY SEA GRANT COLLEGE PROGRAM MANUAL FOR COASTAL HAZARD MITIGATION Compiled by Thomas O. Herrington 2 PREFACE New Jersey is often used as an example of a natural system gone awry. The unflattering term "New Jerseyization" was coined by a prominent scientist to describe a developed‚ eroding coast‚ where natural beaches have been replaced by engineering structures. This view may have been correct in the past‚ when seawalls and bulkheads replaced many of our beaches‚ but our beaches

Tectonic Activity and Hazards Discuss the relationship between the nature of tectonic hazards and human responses to them. The Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 is an example of a tectonic hazard. The response to this hazard will be different to the response in Iceland to the Mount Pelee eruption. The human responses to tectonic hazards are affected by several different factors: the income level of the location‚ the frequency‚ the magnitude‚ the population density of the area the hazard takes place and

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION Efforts to improve the standard of living for humans--through the control of nature and the development of new products--have also resulted in the pollution‚ or contamination‚ of the environment. Much of the world’s air‚ water‚ and land is now partially poisoned by chemical wastes. Some places have become uninhabitable. This pollution exposes people all around the globe to new risks from disease. Many species of plants and animals have become endangered or are now extinct

volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property‚ or the environment. Therefore‚ in this case a volcanic hazard is the threat posed from natural volcanic processes towards the populations and the environment. The extent of volcanic hazards can vary due to two factors; physical factors such as the type of volcano and human factors such as the population density in the area. Volcanic hazards can also be placed into two phases: primary hazards such

Analyse the factors that cause differences in the hazards caused by volcanoes around the world (40 marks) A hazard is defined as something which has the potential to kill or cause harm. However a hazard is only a risk to people if they are exposed to it. This is when a hazard can cause disasters. For example‚ a volcano is only a hazard if the population comes in contact with the consequences of its activity. Hazards and their likeliness to become disasters can depend on many different factors‚ for

To what extent can planning and preparedness mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property‚ or environment. There is a very big difference that helps prepare for a volcanic hazard and that is whether you are in a MEDC or a LEDC. In a MEDC monitoring volcanic zones and potential hazards is an option many LEDC’s don’t have. In Italy at Mt Etna they have Geochemical monitoring programs currently run by INGV which focus on the

effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property‚ or environment. It is easy to locate volcanoes‚ but it is very difficult to predict exactly when activity will take place‚ particularly a major eruption‚ this makes it difficult to prepare or plan for one. There is a very big difference that helps prepare for a volcanic hazard and that is whether

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A volcanic hazard is anything that can cause a threat to human life‚ infrastructure or nature as a result of volcanic activity. There are methods to lessen the effects of volcanic hazards to a certain extent through planning and preparation. Common volcanic hazards include: Pyroclastic flows‚ Ash clouds and mudslides. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot‚ dry rock fragments and hot gases
