Hazards
A Recent Volcanic Event
- 2 things to know
- Component 1
Overview
Recall questions on why a recent eruption must be studied and on the impacts and human responses a case study should evidence.
What you need to know
Answer each one before you reveal it.
What types of human responses should be evidenced using a recent volcanic event case study?
Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Why is a recent volcanic event case study required when studying volcanic hazards?
Model answer
To evidence the range of impacts (environmental, social, economic, political) and the variety of human responses (short-term and long-term) with real-world examples
- 2
Name one recent volcanic event that could be used as a case study for impacts and human responses.
Model answer
Examples include: Mount Nyiragongo (2021), Eyjafjallajökull (2010), Mount Ontake (2014), Volcán de Fuego (2018), or other recent events
- 3
What categories of impacts should be evidenced using a recent volcanic event case study?
Model answer
Environmental, social, economic and political impacts
- 4
What types of human responses should be evidenced using a recent volcanic event case study?
Model answer
Both short-term responses (e.g. evacuation, emergency aid) and long-term responses (e.g. reconstruction, improved monitoring)
- 5
State five factors that influence vulnerability to volcanic hazards.
Model answer
Population density, level of development, effectiveness of governance, quality of infrastructure and degree of community preparedness
- 6
Name a recent volcanic event that can be used to illustrate volcanic hazards, impacts, and human responses.
Model answer
Eyjafjallajökull eruption, Iceland (2010) — or other acceptable recent examples such as Mount Ontake (2014), Kilauea (2018), or Taal (2020).
