To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A volcanic hazard is a situation that poses a threat to life‚ the environment‚ and infrastructure after a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes are formed at various plate boundaries‚ such as at mid oceanic ridges where plates are moving apart‚ for example at the Mid Atlantic ridge. They also occur on or near subduction zones. The ‘ring of fire’ tends to be where the most violent volcanic activity occurs.

What is Volcanic Eruption? A volcano can be simply defined as a rupture or an opening on the crust of a planet like earth. This opening allows hot ash‚ molten rock and gases to blow off from the underground spaces. Volcanoes generally acquire shape of a mountain. Volcanoes are usually found at places where tectonic plates get converged or diverged. But there existence at a particular place depends upon many environmental and geological factors. Volcanoes can also occur at a place because of

Decentralisation is the process in which the population‚ retail and industry moves from urban CBD’s to the outer city. An out of town shopping centre is a group of shops and facilities that are located away from a town’s CBD.

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. It can be said that it’s easier to predict an event than prevent it‚ however prediction does have a positive impact on the effects of a volcanic hazard. Firstly‚ the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored

measure different aspects of a countries development. For example‚ life expectancy gives an idea of how long a person is expected to live in a particular country. The higher the life expectancy‚ the longer a person is expected to live and therefore you can make conclusions about the countries level of development can such as the country is likely to have good medical provision and public health. However‚ a high value does not necessarily indicate a high level of development. For example‚ a low number

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

Volcanic hazard depend primarily on physical factors? Discuss. Volcanic eruptions happen all across the surface of the globe‚ many argue that if controlled and monitored they would have little effect on the population. However others argue that some volcanic events are too powerful or unpredictable to control. Firstly I do not agree with this view I believe it is more to do with the human decisions that make a volcanic eruption a hazard. For example we can see this in such volcanic events such

What are Earthquakes? The actual defining of a earthquake is: A sudden and violent shaking of the ground‚ sometimes causing great destruction‚ as a result of movements within the earth’s crust or volcanic action. Basically what its saying is that when a tectonic plate slips past another and when that happens its called a fault or fault plane‚ but when a earthquake happens it has been proven that it can deform the earths crust permanently. Something interesting is
