Coasts Flashcards
what are the 4 steps to the hazard management cycle
mitigation , preparedness,response , recovery
explain mitigation for the hazard management cycle
aims to miniseries dimpacts of future disaster.
e.g building flood defences
explain preparedness about HMC
its plain con how to response for a hazard
making sure there are warning systems inn place
Explain response in terms of HCM
this is how people react when the disaster occurs.
e.g evvacutng people from a danger zone
Recovery -
this is about getting the area back to normal level of social -e comic engagement
e.g restoring homes , rebuilding power lines
Explain how sea floor spreading occurs
- as plates diverge magma rises from the atherspnoshpere d and cools to form new crust.
- overtime the crust drag apart and new crust forms.
- eventaully they can form mid ocean ridges
describe how sap pull happens
at destructive plate margins, denser crust is forced under less dense crust.
the sinking plate cause pills the rest of the plate towards it
How does rational sliding occur
at constructive plate margins
magma rises and forms new crust
which heats the surrounding rock causing it to expand cforming a slope.
as the rock cools and become dense dnse.
the rock starts to move down slope.
The pressure from the desener rock causes the plates to move apart.
name me tow landforms created form constructive margins
ocean ridge
and rift valley
how do rift valleys form
where plates diverge Granth land the rising magma causes the continental crust to budge and fracture causing fault lines
as the plates move apart the crust between the fault line drop down to from a Rift Valley
