Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 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. 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. 3

    What categories of impacts should be evidenced using a recent volcanic event case study?

    Model answer

    Environmental, social, economic and political impacts

  4. 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. 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. 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).
