Give examples of Geophysical hazards.
Give examples of Hydro-meteorological hazards.
Explain the chronic hazards and give examples.
Give factors that may increase the vulnerability.
What is Albedo??
As global warming occurs, higher temperature causes more ice to melt, so there is less albedo. This leads the temperature increasing and makes the remaining ice melt quicker.
SO, this process is a POSITIVE or NEGATIVE feedback????
Explain, with the help of examples, the difference between hazards and disasters.
Why a rapid urbanisation in in developing countries may increase the vulnerability?
Which of the hydro-meteorological hazards do you think threatens the greatest disaster: drought, floods, or tropical cyclones and storms??
Define the term El Nino
Define the term La Nina
