Hazard Risk
The probability or chance that a natural hazard may take place
Natural Hazard
A natural event (for example an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tropical storm, flood)
that threatens people or has the potential to cause damage, destruction and death
Conservative Plate Margin
Tectonic plate margin where two tectonic plates slide past each other
Constructive Plate Margin
Tectonic plate margin where rising magma adds new material to plates that are
diverging or moving apart
Tectonic plate margin where two plates are converging or coming together and
oceanic plate is subducted; it can be associated with violent earthquakes and
explosive volcanoes
Earthquake
A sudden or violent movement within the Earth's crust followed by a series of shocks
Immediate Responses
The reaction of people as the disaster happens and in the immediate aftermath
Long-Term Responses
Later reactions that occur within the weeks, months and years after the event
Monitoring
Recording physical changes, such as earthquake tremors around a volcano, to help
forecast when and where a natural hazard might strike
Plate Margin
The margin or boundary between two tectonic plates
Planning
Actions taken to enable communities to respond to, and recover from, natural
disasters, through measures such as emergency evacuation plans, information
management, communications and warning systems
Attempts to forecast when and where a natural hazard will strike, based on current
knowledge; this can be dome to some extent for volcanic eruptions (and tropical
storms), but less reliably for earthquakes
Primary Effects
The initial impact of a natural event on people and property, caused directly by it,
for instance the ground buildings collapsing following an earthquake
Tectonic Hazard
A natural hazard caused by movement of tectonic plates (including volcanoes and
earthquakes)
Tectonic Plate
A rigid segment of the Earth's crust which can 'float' across the heavier, semi-molten
rock below; continental plates are less dense, but thicker than oceanic plates
Volcano
An opening in the Earth's crust from which lava, ash and gases erupt
Economic Impact
The effect of an event on the wealth of an area or community
Environmental Impact
The effect of an event on the landscape and ecology of the surrounding area
Extreme Weather
