planning mitigate the effects of 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

Let us suppose that there is a farmer and this farmer’s name is Mr. Jones and Mr. Jones grows corn on his small farm. This year’s harvest yields 290 bushels of corn and Mr. Jones is ecstatic. After he looks at his bountiful harvest‚ he smugly walks to the market and sells his entire harvest for $290.00‚ a dollar a bushel. He leaves the market with a grin and starts heading home. On his way he is stopped by the local taxman who came to collect his 10% income tax‚ so Mr. Jones forks over $29. Slightly

Explain the differences between Basaltic‚ Rhyolitic and Andesitic volcanic eruptions with reference to processes‚ which lead to the eruptions‚ the type of volcano produced and the reasons for the differences between the material erupted by these volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions are caused by a red-hot liquid rock‚ called magma inside the earth’s core. Volcanoes erupt when magma rises to the surface of the earth‚ which causes bubbles of gas to appear in it. This gas can cause pressure to build up in

‘Volcanic and seismic events are major pieces of evidence towards proving that plate tectonics theory is valid.’ Discuss the extent to which you agree with this statement. (40 marks) Over the years proceeding the birth of the theory‚ increasingly convincing evidence has been gathered for proof of the theory of plate tectonics. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegner proposed the theory that continents are sat upon tectonic plates and that these plates are slowly drifting around the Earth (continental drift).

IMPACT OF A VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN A LEDC AND MEDC A MEDC is a more economically developed country. It has the money to spend on improving the country’s establishment and therefore it is more likely to have the resources and technology to help decrease the damage from a volcanic eruption. Using the technology‚ they can also predict when a volcano is probably going to erupt. In a MEDC‚ the people are more educated and know what to do in a situation like a volcanic eruption. They are aware of how they

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

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

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
