8. Learning Objectives K-Know some key terms in relation to topic
U- Understand how to classify different hazard types
S-Recognise the difference between a natural hazard and a disaster

10. Key Terms Try to define what the following terms mean Natural Hazard
Disaster
Risk
Vulnerability
Hydro- meteorological hazard
Geophysical Hazard

11. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Natural Hazard
A naturally occurring process or event which has the potential to cause loss of life or property.
Without people it is just a natural event not a hazard, it needs the interaction of people to make it a hazard!

12. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Disaster
“The realisation of hazard, although there is no universally agreed definition of the scale on which loss has to occur in order to qualify as a disaster”(Smith 1996)

13. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Risk
The exposure of people to a hazardous event which may present a potential threat to people or their possessions, including buildings and structures.

14. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Vulnerability
is to be susceptible to physical or emotional injury or attack.

15. What is the connection between the pictures in each group
Group A
Cyclone Thunderstorms Wildfire
Group B
Floods Drought

16. What is the connection between the pictures in each group
Group C
Tsunami Earthquake Landslide

17. Answers Group A Cyclone Thunderstorms Wildfire
ALL 3 ARE CLASSED AS HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL
Group B
Floods Drought
THESE COULD FIT INTO EITHER GROUP A OR C!!!!!
Group C
Tsunami Earthquake Landslide
ALL THESE ARE CLASSED AS GEOPHYSICAL HAZARDS

18. Key Terms Write down the correct definition
Hydro-meteorological Hazard
Natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature, which may cause the loss of life or injury, property damage, social and economic disruption or environmental degradation.

19. Key Terms Copy the 1st 3 down from this list of hazards
Hydro-meteorological Hazard
Cyclones, droughts, floods, storm surges, thunder/hailstorms, rain and wind storms, blizzards and other severe storms; desertification, wildland fires, temperature extremes, sand or dust storms; permafrost and snow or ice avalanches. Hydrometeorological hazards can be single, sequential or combined in their origin and effects.

20. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Geophysical Hazard
Includes natural hazards where the principal causal agent is climatic and meteorological (e.g floods, hurricanes and droughts) or natural hazards where the principle causal agent is geological, geomorphological (e.g. landslides, tsunamis, volcanoes and earthquakes). They do not include biological hazards, both floral and faunal, such as fungal diseases, poisonous plants, viral diseases and infestations or locusts

21. Key Terms Write down the correct definition Chronic Hazard
A hazard that is long term-term and persistent e.g. El-Nino or Global Warming.

22. Put the title: The disaster equation- draw the following
No hazard or disaster
Hazardous
geophysical
Event e.g flood or
earthquake
Vulnerable
population:
susceptible to human
And economic loss
No interaction of human and physical systems

23. Make a copy of the following diagram
Hazard
Interaction of human and physical systems
Vulnerable

24. Look at the following images and decide if it is a hydro-meteorological/Geophysical hazard or both
