Tectonic hazards - Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

One process that occurs only at convergent plate boundaries - Answer- Subduction -Volcanic eruptions produce a number of different hazards, including lava flows, pyroclastic flows and gas eruptions as well as secondary hazards such as lahars and jokulhaups. The main reason volcanic eruptions vary in magnitude is as a result of the type of volcano that is erupting which will produce various hazards to differing degrees. Magnitude is mainly measured by the VEI that measures things such as the v...

Edexcel A-Level Geography - Paper 3 - Advance Information Topics Why might the level of wealth and development affect the impacts of tectonic hazards? - ANS - High levels of wealth can lead to more investment in preparedness, e.g. Japan's aseismic building architecture - Increasing poverty often leads to more shanty towns, which don't have proper building codes and are often built in vulnerable locations, e.g. favelas in Rio, Brazil Why might geographical isolation increase a pop...
