Examples of questions to help with revision
In many parts of the world the natural environment presents hazards to people. Choose an example of one of the following: a volcanic eruption, an earthquake, a drought. For a named area, describe the causes of the example which you have chosen and its impacts on the people living there (7 marks).
In many parts of the world the natural environment presents hazards to people. Choose an example of one of the following: - a volcanic eruption - a tropical storm - a drought. For a named area, describe the short-term and long-term effects of the example which you have chosen on people living in the area (7 marks).
Explain why people choose to live close to active volcanoes. You may refer to examples which you have studied (7 marks).
Why may volcanic areas offer opportunities as well as problems for people living there? (7 marks).
Explain why MEDCs, such as the USA, normally recover more quickly from natural disasters than LEDCs. (5 marks)
Explain why many people continue to live in areas at risk from natural hazards. (5 marks)
Explain how volcanoes are formed at destructive plate boundaries. You may use a labelled diagram in your answer. (5 marks)
Long-term effects may occur in the weeks or months after a large earthquake. Explain why these long-term effects might be difficult to deal with. (5 marks)
Short-term effects of earthquakes on people include loss of life and injuries, as well as damage to buildings and communications. What may be done before an earthquake occurs to reduce these short-term effects? (4 marks)
