The extent to which tectonic processes represent a hazard depends upon when and where they are experienced (40) A hazard can best be defined as a ’situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property or the environment.’ The overall impact of earthquakes as a natural hazard varies greatly from one place and timeframe to another. As do the types of hazards‚ which are categorised into primary and secondary. Primary hazards are created by the direct seismic energy of an earthquake; this

W. C. Hurst (2013) examined food processors around the world have applied the principles of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) as prevention- based approach to food safety. In 2005‚ the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) issued the ISO 22000 standard‚ which incorporated HACCP into its food safety management system. An inherent weakness of HACCP is that there is no advanced warning when a critical control point (CCP) will exceed its critical limit (CL) safety zone. However

Discuss the view that the impact of earthquake hazards depends primarily on human factors (40 marks) Earthquakes are an example of seismic activity caused by the build-up of tension at the three types of plate boundaries: destructive‚ constructive and conservative. The pressure is suddenly released as the plates jerk past each other‚ sending out seismic waves from the focus that travel through different parts of the earth. The movement of convection currents within the Earth’s mantle causing the

Explain why some places have a high level of landslide and avalanche hazard risk. Land slides and Avalanches are one of the worlds most major natural hazard types. They kill between 25 and 50 people per year and cost the United States $3.5 billion to repair per year. Landslides are caused when soil is disrupted. For example when deforestation occurs it removes the roots from the soil. The soil can then not hold it self together so when it rains the soil becomes saturated and falls. They can also

“The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people.” To what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and seismic events can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically developed countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been multiple examples of where volcanic and seismic events have had an impact on both MEDCs and LEDCs. Some

The societal demands for electrical energy have drastically increased in the past number of years. The sharp escalation of fuel consumption caused the demand for fossil fuels‚ which generate electrical energy‚ to increase as well. Almost 80% of domestic electricity use is used for space and water heating. To reduce the amount of energy produced by fossil fuels‚ the amount of electricity used must be lessened‚ and other renewable methods of electrical energy generation must be found. Research in the
