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 analysis of temporal changes‚ chemical changes and seismic activity. This option open

P1: explain potential hazards and harms that may arise from each in a health or social care setting. Hazard number 1: Doors being left open. Doors are being left open is a big hazard because it opens a various amounts of hazards such as the children walking through the nursery alone without supervision. Having a doors open can also allow people to come into the nursery which jeopardizes the safeguarding of the nursery. The nursery overcomes this by having code locks on all entrances of the nursery

’The hazards presented by tropical revolving storms have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people.’ Discuss. Tropical revolving storms occur in every area of the world‚ affecting both the richest and poorest countries. The effects of such storms can be devastating to even the richest and most developed countries; however it is often the case that poorer countries are affected most adversely by tropical revolving storms in both humanitarian and economic terms.

The emission of POISONOUS GASES rather than the direct effects of lava flows or ash showers are the greatest reason for loss of life. An example is the eruption from the Laki volcano in 1783 (see first link below) in which an estimated 25% of the population of Iceland was killed. "The system erupted over an 8 month period during 1783-1784 from the Laki fissure and the adjoining Grímsvötn volcano‚ pouring out an estimated 14 km3 (3.4 cu mi) of basalt lava and clouds of poisonous hydrofluoric

Question 1: Consumer Theory 1.1: In both the Marshallian and Hicksian consumer optimisation problems‚ it is assumed that consumers are supposed to be rational. The main focus of these problems are cost minimisation and utility maximisation‚ which play a huge part in consumer demand‚ but in real life‚ these are not the only problems that are considered. Also‚ it is assumed that every consumer’s indifference curve for two goods would be the same – they are very generalised models‚ and do not take

There are a number of reasons why some places are more at risk of experiencing a major volcanic disaster. One reason is their geographical position within the world and in relation to tectonic plate boundaries. For example you have highly destructive and explosive volcanoes often found along destructive plate boundaries because of increased pressure within the subduction zone. An example of this is the Philippines‚ which is situated above a destructive plate boundary and this leads to numerous and

With reference to two volcanic events that you have studied from contrasting areas of the world‚ compare the nature of the volcanic hazard and its impact. Mount St Helens erupted on the 18th May 1980 at 9am and is an active strata volcano Washington State USA‚ a MEDC. Where as on 18th July 1995‚ during the daytime‚ Montserrat‚ a LEDC during the day‚ Montserrat’s Soufrière Hills composite volcano of a height 1050m‚ meaning sulphur hills‚ dormant for centuries‚ erupted and produced a phreatic eruption

Hazards are anything that could cause damage to humans or buildings. Many volcanic and seismic events happen that cause hazards to humans. Often the world’s poorest people are hit the worst‚ however wealthier countries can also be adversely affected. The Kobe earthquake in Japan 1995 struck at 5.45am. Many people were asleep in bed‚ causing the hazard to be increased because the people were unaware. Although many Japanese buildings were of aseismic design‚ the roofs of their houses were designed
