9.1 Hazardous environments

What is a natural hazard?

A naturally occurring process or event which has the potential to cause loss of life or property

What is a disaster?

A disaster is the realisation of this hazard

How does a natural event and vulnerable population interact?

Natural event: A low-level earthquake occurring mid-ocean may cause no problem to the population as there is no interaction between the two

If an earthquake occurs where there is population, then the result may be a disaster


e.g. 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, California where an earthquake impacted on the population of San Francisco.

What are the three classifications of hazards?

Geophysical hazards (geological processes), Hydro-meteorological hazards (atmospheric or hydrological processes), Mass movements

Expand on the classifications

Geophysical hazards: Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Tsunamis
Hydro-meteorological hazard: Floods, Storms, Droughts

Mass movements: Avalanches, Landslides

Why are Mass Movements in an overlapping circle on their own?

Because these hazards could be placed under either group of processes
