Hazards

Hazards

• Atmospheric
• Tectonic
• Oceanic

2

• One of the most hazardous races known to manthe
  French

3
Atmospheric

• Monsoon
• Seasonal winds which bring torrential (heavy)
  rainfall
• Acid Rain
• This occurs when chemical fumes are
  released into the atmosphere
• Fog
• A mass of water vapour suspended in the air
• Tornado
• Strong winds whirling around a small area of
  extremely low pressure

It is widely considered that being cooked by
grannies is a Hazard

• Hurricane
• A severe often very destructive storm
• Blizzards
• Periods of heavy snowfall
• Hail
• This is when rain freezes into tiny balls
  and falls to the ground
• Thunderstorms
• A storm caused by strong rising air
  currents accompanied by thunder and
  lightning
• Drought
• A long period of little or no rainfall

7
Tectonic

• Famine
• Occurs only in third world countries,
  often when arid soil or little rain means
  that crops do not grow
• Earthquakes
• They occur on3 out of 4 plate boundaries
  when two plates rub together
• Landslide
• Often occurs as a result of deforestation, the
  loss of roots mean that heavy rainfall can
  wash away the top soil easily

  submerges anything on top of it

12
Oceanic

• Volcanoes
• Many volcanoes appear underneath the water
  as well on land
• Tsunami
• A tsunami is a large tidal wave
• Sea level Rise
• Occurs as a result of global warming and
  the polar ice caps melting

Combination

• Nearly all of the hazards are not just a result
  of the specific place they occur they often have
  been influenced by other factors.
• An example of this would be
• Forest fire, although the forest is on the earth
  the atmosphere can often be responsible for the
  fire
• Desertification, for this to occur you need a
  hot dry climate to allow the earth to get that
  way
• Flooding, this is most commonly found on a river
  and would not be possible without a larger than
  normal amount of rainfall which leads to flooding

15

• A good example for a trio combination is
  sea-level rise, this is caused by global warming
  which in turn melts the ice caps which then cause
  an increase in water affecting both the oceanic
  ecosystems and places such as Bangladesh which in
  many places is only a metre above the ground
