7. Can you think what factors might influence this?  Magnitude of earthquake  Location (urban, rural, population and population density)  Time of day  Response of emergency services  Earthquake/disaster planning and management

8. FactorKobe earthquake 17 th January 1995 (5.46 am) Gujurat Earthquake 26 th January 2001 (8.46 am) Location details and magnitude Injuries and deaths Short term (primary effects) Long Term (secondary effects) Reasons for the differences in damage Read the BBC articles about the Kobe earthquake and the Gujurat earthquake to hep you fill out a table like this one. You then need to answer the question: “How can similar earthquakes in Gujurat and Japan have very different impacts on the people who live there?”

9.  The best IGCSE students will be able to discuss both short AND long term impacts of natural disasters.  What is the difference?  Are they interlinked?

11. How is this possible?

13. Factors affecting the damage caused by earthquakes size of the earthquake time of day emergency services building design and construction education physical landscape Which of the above factors might be the same in MEDCs and LEDCs? Which of them might be different? What effect will this have?

14.  Why are LIC’s more vulnerable to a seismic event than HIC’s?  How would we get 9 marks?
