• seismograph
• seismology
• a scientist

What is a tropical storm?

What is the difference between a natural hazard and a natural disaster? 

• They are exactly the same 
• A hazard is what could happen, a disaster is after it has an impact on humans

Why is it beneficial to be able to predict when and where natural hazards will occur? 

• Communities can be notified to evacuate 
• So that we can stop them from happening again 
• So that scientists know where to go in order to study them 
• So that we can harness their power for renewable energy

How can some of the impacts of earthquakes be reduced?

• by building structures that can sway with the motion

• by building structures that do NOT move with the motion

• by using thermometers to measure ground temperatures

• by using satellites to monitor warning buoys in the ocean
