Self review of Natural hazards
This document summarizes a student's knowledge after completing a unit on natural hazards. The student can: 1) describe global patterns of volcanoes and earthquakes and explain reasons for their distribution; 2) explain how the Earth's structure relates to where earthquakes and volcanoes occur; and 3) draw and label different plate boundaries and explain what happens at each type. The student can also analyze and give examples of impacts of various natural hazards.
What happens when the plates meet
Mud pots and hot springs along the San Andreas Fault in California reveal new insights about the fault's structure and movement. Geologists have discovered that the fault is not a single clean fracture but is a complex network of smaller intersecting faults that split and rejoin. This finding helps explain why earthquake activity is broader than previously thought, with seismicity occurring miles away from the primary fault strand. It also suggests that stresses can build up over a wider area prior to a large earthquake on the fault.
When the earth moves
This document discusses plate tectonics and how the earth's crust is made up of moving tectonic plates. It describes how convection currents in the earth's mantle cause the plates to slowly drift via processes such as continental drift. Key terms are defined, including fault, continental drift, subduction zone, convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and transform boundary. Students are tasked to research and investigate plate tectonics using textbooks and include relevant keywords in their explanations of how plate tectonics creates earthquakes and volcanoes.
Hazards 1
Natural hazards can cause disasters when they negatively impact humans. There are different types of hazards including tectonic hazards like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, climatic hazards like hurricanes and tropical storms, and drought. The distribution of these hazards depends on the natural processes that cause them. For example, earthquakes and volcanoes often occur in areas with tectonic plate boundaries, while tropical storms usually affect regions near the equator. The impacts of disasters vary between more and less economically developed countries.

It also discusses the sustainability of tourism in St. Lucia and different options under consideration for developing tourism on the undeveloped eastern side of the island.
Tropical storms
Tropical storms form over warm ocean waters with temperatures of at least 27°C. Low air pressure and winds up to 175 mph are characteristics of these storms. When tropical storms make landfall, they can have devastating primary effects like strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges, as well as secondary effects like flooding, infrastructure damage, and loss of life.
Ledc case study haiti
The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused widespread damage and loss of life.
1) A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck near the capital of Port-au-Prince, killing over 230,000 people and injuring 300,000.
2) Critical infrastructure was destroyed, including hospitals, roads, the airport, and telephone and electricity systems.
3) Secondary effects included a cholera outbreak due to poor sanitation, mass burials, and over 500,000 people living in temporary camps with the onset of the rainy season.
Medc case study iceland
The document summarizes the 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. The eruption occurred under a glacier, causing massive ash clouds that rose to 30,000 feet and closed airspace across Europe. This caused major economic disruptions costing airlines over $2 billion. While Iceland suffered some damage like flooded roads and ash-damaged homes, its preparedness as an MEDC with monitoring technology and emergency plans meant the eruption caused no loss of life.
Drought
Droughts occur when there is not enough rainfall to support people or crops and can have severe consequences. Drought is caused by both natural factors like changes in weather patterns as well as human factors such as deforestation, overpopulation, and overextraction of water. The vast majority of deaths from drought have occurred in three countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, and Mozambique. Case studies of drought in Ethiopia and Australia show how drought can impact populations through famine, disease, loss of livestock, and economic hardship. Responses to drought involve aid efforts, management of water resources, and strategies to prevent desertification.

Tourism - general
Tourism has grown rapidly since 1960, increasing from approximately 25 million international tourist arrivals that year to over 1 billion in 2010. This growth is due to factors like more leisure time and higher incomes allowing for increased travel. Tourism is a major global industry that provides many jobs, especially in service industries. However, mass tourism has environmental and social impacts and its economic benefits often flow disproportionately to large foreign companies rather than local communities. Case studies of Thailand show it has become highly dependent on tourism, but many tourism workers have low wages and unstable incomes.

Coastlines Yr 11 Revision Class For Ocr Spec A
The document provides an overview of key concepts related to coastal landforms and processes. It discusses how waves are formed and their effects on shorelines. Coastal erosion is shaped by factors like rock type, geology, and coastline shape. Processes like abrasion and hydraulic action erode cliffs and shorelines. Features like caves, arches and stacks form through erosion. Longshore drift transports sediment along coastlines based on factors such as prevailing winds and sediment size. Deposition builds features like beaches, sand dunes, and bars. Coastal management techniques include hard structures and soft engineering to protect vulnerable shorelines from erosion. A case study on a specific location in the UK is used to illustrate these concepts and the impacts of
Transportation And Deposition
Waves are created by wind blowing over the surface of the sea, transferring energy that causes water particles to rotate and move the swell forward. When waves reach shallow water, they break. Swash is the wave movement up the beach during breaking, while backwash is the movement back down. Long-shore drift is the process where waves push sediment parallel to the shore, transporting materials down the coast through deposition and transportation.
01 Hydraulic Structures In International Perspective Pilarczyk
The document discusses hydraulic and coastal structures from an international perspective. It defines coastal structures as any man-made structure in contact with the marine environment and hydraulic structures as those in contact with fresh water. Coastal structures include breakwaters, jetties, groins, seawalls, and more. The design process for these structures involves identifying the problem, understanding hydraulic and morphological processes, considering alternatives, and mitigating environmental impacts. Coastal erosion control presents challenges due to interactions between loading, morphology, foundations, and structures.
Yr10 rivers-lesson 2-river processes
The document discusses river processes and how to teach students about them. It includes questions to help students identify the objective of the lesson, which is to identify the river processes that take place in a channel. It then outlines what students must, should, and could know by the end of the lesson, including identifying the three main river processes of erosion, transportation, and deposition. The document provides information and examples about each of these processes and how they operate in a river system.
02 Coastal Stabilization And Alternative Solutions
The document discusses various coastal stabilization techniques and alternative solutions from an international perspective. It provides examples of different systems used, such as seawalls, breakwaters, groins, beach nourishments, and more recently developed geosystems using bags, tubes and other containers filled with sand or mortar. The conclusion emphasizes that there is no single ideal solution and each coastal problem requires evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of different materials and systems based on the specific conditions and protection needs.
Transportation And Deposition
Waves are created by wind blowing over the surface of the sea. As waves enter shallower water, they break. Swash is the movement of waves up the beach during breaking, while backwash is the movement back down the beach. Longshore drift is the process where waves cause sediment to be transported parallel to the shore and eventually deposited elsewhere along the coast. Transportation refers to the movement of sediments, while deposition is the dropping off of sediments in a new location.
Coast
This document provides information on coastal geography topics including:
- The coast can be used for industry, transport, tourism, recreation, and nature conservation.
- Destructive waves are associated with storms and erosion while constructive waves are associated with deposition.
- Coastal weathering involves physical, chemical, and biological breakdown of rock, and erosion is the wearing away and transport of material.
- Waves erode coastlines through abrasion, hydraulic action, attrition, and solution. Headlands are eroded to form coastal landforms.
- Material is transported along beaches by swash and backwash. Beaches form through deposition by constructive waves.
- Spits, bars,

Gcse geography revision checklist
Portsmouth has experienced land use change. The inner city was redeveloped at Gunwharf Quays into a retail and entertainment area. This has brought economic benefits but also increased traffic and changed the character of the area. Greenwich Millennium Village shows how urban regeneration can create a more sustainable community through green space, affordable housing, and renewable energy. The redevelopment of Stratford for the 2012 Olympics transformed an industrial site into a major transport hub, bringing employment but also higher housing costs.
GCSE geography revision checklist
Portsmouth CBD has experienced land use change over time. Retail and commercial uses have moved to the inner suburbs and outer edge of the city, leaving behind underused land and empty buildings in the city center. The city has redeveloped Gunwharf Quays to attract shops and services back into the city center. While this has boosted the local economy, some argue it has made the city center less unique.
Checklist 2016 - OCR B GCSE specification
Afforestation can affect river flow in 3 ways:
(1) Trees intercept rainfall which reduces surface runoff entering rivers.
(2) Vegetation increases lag time as seen on hydrographs, slowing river volume.
(3) Less water enters rivers and reaches them more slowly due to interception and reduced surface runoff from vegetation.
10. coastal management
This document discusses coastal management approaches in Bexhill, a town in the UK. It describes how the coast is currently managed in Bexhill and considers the costs and benefits of different coastal protection strategies. The document also evaluates how coastal management has benefited and harmed humans and the environment in Bexhill and asks the reader to make a judgment on the success of coastal management techniques in protecting the town.
Coastal Management
The document discusses coastal erosion issues in Happisburgh, England. It notes that over 250m of land was lost between 1600-1850, and 125m was lost between 1992-2007 at a rate of around 8m/year. The cliffs are comprised of glacial sands and clays that are easily eroded by the sea and saturated by rainwater. Coastal defenses could worsen the situation by disrupting sediment flows, while rising seas and stronger storms from climate change also increase erosion risks. The rapid erosion is negatively impacting the local community and environment through lost homes and infrastructure as well as valuable farmland.
Resilient by Nature - Marco Pluijm June 28 2016
- The document proposes a "Resilient by Nature" approach to designing coastal infrastructure that is resilient to climate change impacts like hurricanes. It involves learning from natural systems that have proven resilient, like barrier islands, mangroves, dunes, and polders.
- Examples of resilient design elements are presented, including barrier breakwaters shaped like resilient islands, sequential breakwaters, eco-shields using vegetation, and impact relief polders designed to flood during storms. The approach aims to use local materials and capacities to build resilience.
- The goal is to develop practical guidelines and tools from analyzing resilient natural systems globally, and apply that knowledge to vulnerable coastal areas in need of solutions to withstand increasing extreme weather events
