Answer:
What are the trends in frequency and impact
over time (Park Model)?
Visit the EM-DAT website and
collect a selection of maps and graphs related to tectonic hazards. Describe
the patterns.
What is the 'Parks Model' (respose curve)?
Why do people live in tectonic areas?
Read:
What are the specific impacts of a range of
tectonic hazards at a range of scales and at locations in countries
at different stages of development?
Create a range of detailed case studies, they must be a variety in the
different stages of development.
For example: -
Level economic development
|
MEDC
|
NIC
|
LEDC
|
Volcano
|
Mount Saint Helens
|
Mount Pinatubo
|
Montserrat
|
Earthquake
|
North Ridge
|
Sichuan
|
Haiti
|
Tsunami
|
Japan
|
Boxing day
|
Boxing day

Use simple tables to classify impact into
physical/economic/social plus long and short term.
Use the Parks model to draw superimposed profiles
of differing impacts from earthquakes, tsunami and volcanoes
