Hazards
Atmospheric
Tectonic
Oceanic
One of the most hazardous races known to
man…the French
Atmospheric
Monsoon;
Seasonal winds which bring torrential (heavy)
rainfall
Acid Rain;
This occurs when chemical fumes
are released into the atmosphere
Fog;
A mass of water vapour suspended in the air
Tornado;
Strong winds whirling around a small area of extremely
low pressure
It is widely considered that being
cooked by grannies is a Hazard
Hurricane;
A severe often very destructive storm
Blizzards;
Periods of heavy snowfall
Hail;
This is when rain freezes into tiny
balls and falls to the ground
Thunderstorms;
A storm caused by strong rising air
currents accompanied by thunder and
lightning
Drought;
A long period of little or no rainfall
Tectonic
Famine;
Occurs only in third world
countries, often when arid soil or
little rain means that crops do not
grow
Earthquakes;
They occur on3 out of 4 plate
boundaries when two plates “rub”
together
Landslide;
Often occurs as a result of deforestation, the
loss of roots mean that heavy rainfall can
wash away the top soil easily
Being gay…in the army…
I just love cleaning windows
Avalanches;
Go hand in hand with landslides.
So remember don’t go yodelling
(ha-ha and ha)
Quicksand;
A deep mass of loose wet sand
which submerges anything on top
of it
Oceanic
Volcanoes;
Many volcanoes appear
underneath the water as well on
land
Tsunami;
A tsunami is a large tidal wave
Sea level Rise;
Occurs as a result of global
warming and the polar ice caps melting
Combination
Nearly all of the hazards are not just a result of
the specific place they occur they often have
been influenced by other factors.
An example of this would be;
Forest fire, although the forest is on the earth the
atmosphere can often be responsible for the fire
Desertification, for this to occur you need a hot
dry climate to allow the earth to get that way
Flooding, this is most commonly found on a river
and would not be possible without a larger than
normal amount of rainfall which leads to flooding
A good example for a trio combination is
sea-level rise, this is caused by global
warming which in turn melts the ice caps
which then cause an increase in water
affecting both the oceanic ecosystems and
places such as Bangladesh which in many
places is only a metre above the ground
Ewwwwww

Remember never learn too much in one
go
Take regular breaks
Drink lots of liquids
Plan your toilet visits
