Study Notes
Natural Disasters
- Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by nature or the Earth's natural processes.
- Population density affects death tolls from disasters.
Tectonic Geophysical Processes
- Tectonic geophysical processes are caused by the movement and interaction of Earth's tectonic plates.
- Examples of natural disasters associated with tectonic processes include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
Geomorphological Geophysical Processes
- Geomorphological geophysical processes shape Earth's surface through erosion, deposition, and landform development.
- Examples of natural disasters associated with geomorphological processes include landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls.
Atmospheric Geophysical Processes
- Atmospheric geophysical processes involve Earth's atmosphere, often driven by weather patterns and climate variables.
- Examples of natural disasters associated with atmospheric processes include hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, and heatwaves.
Biological Geophysical Processes
- Biological geophysical processes are linked to the interaction of living organisms with the environment.
- Examples of natural disasters linked to biological processes include locust swarms, algal blooms, and pandemics caused by zoonotic diseases, such as COVID-19.
Magnitude
- Magnitude is the size of a geophysical hazard event.
- It is measured by the amount of energy or material produced by the event.
- Magnitude for an earthquake is measured by the amount of energy released when two plates move past each other.
- Magnitude for an avalanche is found by the speed, volume, and density of snow.
