Hazards

Atmospheric

Tectonic

Oceanic

One of the most hazardous races known to man…the French

AtmosphericMonsoon;

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

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 fireDesertification, for this to occur you need a hot dry climate to allow the earth to get that wayFlooding, 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
