1. Which one of these natural hazards can be forecasted?

• Severe weather
• Earthquakes
• Wildfire
• Landslides

2. Satellite imagery, seismographs and sonar equipment can all be used to

• Predict the movement of infectious disease
• Monitor the changes to the earth’s crust which might lead to a natural hazard
• Mitigate the effects of flooding
• Prevent wildfire

3. Maps and other data can help us

• To look for patterns in natural disasters
• To record what is happening at any given time on our planet
• To look for changes from year to year
• All of these

4. There are some natural hazards that are

• 100% predictable

• Completely risk free

5. Drought, wildfires and super storms are all related to

• Earthquakes
• Big cities

7. A natural disaster is different than a natural hazard because

• A natural disaster causes property damage, injury or death
• A natural disaster is the same as a hazard, but it is smaller

9. The lines on the weather map connect locations with the same

• wind direction
• air temperature
• wind speed
• air pressure

10. High pressure systems bring

• Clear skies and fair-weather
• heavy cloud cover
