The major advantage of employing some kind of carbon sequestration technology is that it can‚ in effect‚ reverse some fraction of our bad habits with regard to CO2 emissions. Unless we find some way to sequester massive quantities of carbon more cheaply than the difference between fossil fuel technologies and renewable energy technologies‚ it won’t give us carte blanche to keep using fossil fuel‚ but it can help reverse some of the past damage and/or help us ease the transition to newer tech.

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

drawn into the hurricane to replace the rising air. Owing to the Earth rotation‚ wind in a hurricane spiral inwards in an anti-clock wise direction. Wind speeds can reach 300km/ hour‚ although there is an area at the centre of the hurricane ‚the Eye where conditions are calm. After a hurricane goes through its stages and matures‚ it still can intensify to certain sizes and strengths. This all depends on the right environmental factors and whether or not it is near land.

Seism is a violent shaking of the Earth’s crust that may cause destruction to buildings and results from the sudden release of tectonic stress along a fault line or from volcanic activity. Earthquakes strike without warning‚ so it is important to know safety measures and act now to be prepared. Before the Shaking Starts Prepare Your Family •Know the safe spots in each room― against inside walls‚ under sturdy tables‚ desks or archways. • Know the danger spots― windows‚ mirrors‚ hanging objects

“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
