management

• Why may people choose to live near a tectonic hazard?

  they’ve always lived there (families, jobs), effective monitoring and evacuation plans minimise risk (HICS), Minerals from volcanic ash make soil very fertile (attracting farmers).
• What are the four management strategies?

  Monitoring, prediction, protection, planning.
• How are earthquakes monitored?

  Seismometers and lasers monitor earth movements to give warning before a large earthquake occurs
• How are volcanic eruptions monitored?

  Scientist monitor small signs such as tiny earthquakes escaping gas and the volcano changing shape
• How are earthquakes predicted?

  They cannot be reliably predicted but scientist forecast them by monitoring the movement of tectonic plates
• How are volcanic eruptions predicted?

  By monitoring volcanoes closely
