Methodology Flashcards
Where did research start and what was wrong with it?
Started www.wikipedia.com
However, website not reliable due to users able edit info about tectonic hazards
Due to unreliability of wikipedia what did you do?
Looked at USGS + newspapers, such as The Guardian
As quick way brush knowledge on tectonic hazards + how each hazard varies within their management
USGS useful + reliable
was useful source as provides key facts about certain hazards, Japan earthquake
Also reliable source as comes from USA govt; therefore likely to have more reliable stats
What else did you do?
Looked various docs/video clips to also get better and wider understanding on effectiveness of tectonic hazard management
Example of documentary?
One example of doc used would be The Changing of Plate Tectonics by Bob Ballard
Doc overall not useful as provided little info of different types of hazard management
Due to this what did you use after?
Used book Geography: Edexcel A2 (figure 2) by Cameron Dunn et al. to improve knowledge of tectonic hazard management
Was the book useful?
Was very useful as it provided key + crucial stats and examples of tectonic management, such as Japan earthquake/tsunami
Final source you used?
Wide range of websites I used from the internet (figure 3)
