some hazardous earth synoptic Flashcards
tectonic and trade
-supply chains
-infrrastructure
-countries not producing no money
-price fluctuations
tectonic and water cycle
Soil liquefaction
Landslides
glaceir melting in Iceland
Tsunamis seasonal storms
Disruption to infrastructure e.g. damage to roads/ports/bridges which could be worsened by heavy rainfall increasing the risk of lahars/landslides/mudflows which would further damage infrastructure, slowing recovery
water borne diseases
-store of sea allows ships to bring response
tectonic carbon cycle
-agriculture
-directly more in environment
-ash block outrun
-Eruptions release lava which cools → bare rock vulnerable to weathering and further breakdown into the soil + atmospheric carbon stores
-Acid rain (SO2) causes increased weathering of carbonate rocks releasing carbon into atmosphere.
place identity and eruptions
-positive rebrand
-negative unable to deal secondary effects
-landmarks disaster scar
players
‘riskier’ due to the frequency of tectonic hazards it can be challenging for players to encourage inward investment for regeneration
