Tectonic hazard map - using scribble maps

The first task is to create a hazard map using scribble maps. https://www.scribblemaps.com/ Register using your email address and start playing! The idea is to have this an ongoing map which we can refer to throughout the course, and build on it as we develop our understanding of case studies.

Decide what you want to put on the map: a good start might be plate boundaries

Next, watch this series of documentaries about tectonic hazards: volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes. Using the case studies mentioned, label your maps with the following: name, location, date, key facts (including death toll and any other significant impacts). Do additional research on these tectonic events. 

After watching this, repeat the process with this documentary about earthquakes.

Next, watch this short clip that remember the victims of the Armero tragedy. Find out more about what happened in one of the world's deadliest volcanic eruptions from this link Nevado Del Ruiz, Colombia

The Armero Tragedy at Nevado Del Ruiz is important as it provides a study into what happens when things go very wrong. Also watch this short film about Mt St Helens - this volcanic eruption happened in 1980, 5 years before the tragedy at Armero, Colombia, and yet the impacts were very different, in spite of the eruption being so much larger.

My first enquiry question for you is: which part of the world is at greatest risk from tectonic hazards, and why? Consider: population, levels of development, and the physical nature of the tectonic event. Post your thoughts in the comments below. Best of luck, Mr Robbins
