Natural Hazards and Disasters Human Caused Hazards and Disasters DiseasesPotpourri

Row 1, Col 1 Most common way of comparing natural disasters is the measure of these three factors What is impact by the loss of life, number of injuries and amount of property damage ?

1,2 Human caused disasters have these three identifying characteristics What is they affect people in many parts of the world, their affects are long term, and they cause permanent damage?

1,3 Cholera What is a vectored disease?

1,4 Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising needs of the future What is Sustainable Development?

2,1 How hazards and disasters occur in time; are they random or occur within a cycle What is Temporal Spacing?

2,2 Only about ____ years ago there was almost no human activity that could cause more than local damage to the Earth What is 100?

2,3 An environmental consideration that factors into disease transmission after a disaster What is climate, season, rainfall and geography?

2,4 A representation of the land and water it takes to provide us with the things we use and to absorb our wastes What is an ecological footprint?

3,1 A hurricane moves in this direction in the Northern Hemisphere What is counter clockwise?

3,2 What two reasons have been given to explain the increase in Human Caused Hazards and Disasters What is tremendous advances in scientific and technical knowledge and a need for more energy?

3,3 Mononucleosis What is a non-vectored disease?

3,4 Enters the atmosphere when farmers drain and turn over wetland areas to make more room for growing crops and digestive processes by domesticated animals What is methane?

4,1 Major earthquake. Serious damage. What is a magnitude of on the Richter Scale?

4,2 Two ways in which Biodiversity is lost What is deforestation and desertification?

4,3 Diseases transmitted from one person directly to another by contact What are non-vectored diseases?

4,4 Artificial gases that have only recently been added to the Earth’s atmosphere What are CFC’s?

5,1 Used to give an estimate of the potential property damage and flooding expected along the coast What is the Saffir-Simpson Scale?

5,2 The greatest weapon of mass destruction What is Corporate Economic Globalization?

5,3 These can be grouped as to whether they are vectored or non-vectored What are infectious diseases?

5,4 The main ingredient in smog What is ground-level ozone?
