Earthquakes
The place where two plates meet.
What is a plate boundary?
The area of calm in a cyclone.
What is the eye?
The dates Cyclone Gabrielle hit NZ.
What are the 13th-14th of February 2023 dates?
These are the 4 groups for categorising the impacts of an event.
What are social, environmental, economic, and political categories?
The categories for measuring the response time of a group for a disaster.
What is short-term and long-term?
The three types of plate movement.
What are diverge, converge, and transform?
The direction a cyclone spins.
What is clockwise?
The location where Cyclone Gabrielle formed.
What is the Coral Sea?
What is 5 million m3?
Two groups that provided a short AND long-term response following Cyclone Gabrielle.
Who are the Red Cross and the local community?
The point on the Earth's surface, directly above the origin of the earthquake.
What is the epicentre?
The scale used to measure cyclones / hurricanes.
What is the Saffir-Simpson scale?
The name of the two plates AND fault line that runs through the South Island.
What are the Australian and Pacific plates, and the Alpine Fault?
The three environmental impacts of the Christchurch Earthquakes.
What is liquefaction, subsidence, and rockfalls?
The number of meals provided by the NZDF to those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.
What is 66,000 meals?
the circular movements of semi-molten rock in the Earth's mantle, driven by heat from the core.
What are convection currents?
These are the conditions needed for a cyclone to form.
What are low-pressure zones and ocean temperatures of 26.5 degrees or more?
What is using a ruler, adding a title, drawing a box/frame, writing information about the picture, and drawing an arrow to the relevant point on the image?
The greatest long-term impacts for both disaster case studies.
What are 11 North Island deaths and 185 Christchurch deaths?
The SVA.
What is the volunteer group set up by students to clean up the streets and properties of Christchurch, clogged with silt and liquefaction?
This is slab pull.
What is the process by which a subducting plate sinks deeper into the mantle through the influence of gravity?
The factor that influences the rotation of a cyclone or hurricane.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
Step two of the cyclone formation process.
What is the rising air is full of evaporated water vapour from the warm Pacific Ocean (26.5+ degrees). This cools and condenses to form huge storm clouds. This forms the walls of the cyclone?
The three reasons why the 2011 aftershock was more impactful than the 2010 earthquake.
What is a closer epicentre, shallower focus, and busy time of day?
Two examples that show Christchurch's sense of community following the disaster.
What is the SVA and the personalised memorials with chairs to reflect the individual and the inclusion of the deceased's native language?
