Reducing Risk of Tectonic Hazards

Question 1

How can monitoring help reduce the RISK of Tectonic hazards

Answer 1

Scientists will be able to monitor volcanic activity using satellites and seismographs to predict when an eruption will occur. Scientists can then issue warnings

Question 2

How can prediction help reduce the risk of tectonic hazards

Answer 2

Studying historical records can show us where and when tectonic hazards often occur

Question 3

How can protection help reduce the risk of tectonic hazards

Answer 3

Buildings can be built to resist the shaking of the earthquakes. Building embankments to help divert flowing lava away. It is also possible to construct tsunami walls

Question 4

How can planning help reduce the risk of tectonic hazards

Answer 4

Maps can be produced to show areas at most risk from tectonic hazards
