Why do some tectonic hazards develop into disasters?

Which is the correct hazard risk equation?

• Risk = Hazard / Vulnerability

• Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability

• Risk = Hazard - Vulnerability

• Risk = Hazard + Vulnerability

A disaster is classed as a mega disaster if there is over ............... deaths.

What is adaptation?

• Changes to the ways of doing things so future hazards have less impact.

• Ways of returning to normal after the impacts of a hazard.

• Changes to the ways of doing things so future hazards have more impact.

• Ways of ensuring normal before the impacts of a hazard.

What does spatial predictability mean?

• How an area is or isn't prepared for an event.

• The extent of an area effected.

• How often the event occurs.

• The speed of the events onset.

Some people may not have an awareness of tectonic processes and hazards or what actions to take. This is due to .............. .
