Two types of natural disasters that Thailand never experiences
What are Volcanic Eruptions (not near a fault line or hotspot) and Tornadoes (not on a flat open land where cold and warm air collide)?
100
This is a natural phenomenon that produces vibrations that break apart the surrounding rock.
What is an earthquake?
100
This is how volcanoes almost always occur.
What are when the edges of two tectonic plates meet?
100
This is where the majority of hurricanes occur geographically.
What is between North America and Central America?
100
The buildup of snow on mountain sides that become heavy and slip downhill.
What is an avalanche?
200
This records the amplitude and speed of all earthquakes.
What is seismograph?
200
These are two main causes of earthquakes.
What are volcanic eruptions and the movement of "plates" below the Earth's surface?
200
These three "elements" can be found inside of a volcano.
What are hot magma, volcanic ashes, and gases?
200
This is how the path of a hurricane differs between the northern and southern hemispheres.
What is the winds move clock-wise in the northern hemisphere, and counter-clockwise in the southern?
200
Most avalanches occur after this weather phenomenon.
What is heavy snowfall?
300
These are impacted by the long term effects of disasters.
What are education, infrstructure, tourism, and the economy?
300
These are waves of energy that are carried through the atmosphere.
What are seismic waves?
300
This element found inside of a volcano turns into lava once exposed outside of the volcano.
What is hot magma?
300
This is where the ring of fire is.
What is the Pacific Rim?
300
Avalanches occur in or on this type of landform.
What are mountains?
400
This is something governments can do/have to minimize the risk of death and destruction to their country.
What is create a disaster plan (have it implemented in public spaces such as schools, shopping areas, and offices; run frequent practice drills, etc)?
400
These type of seismic waves are the fastest and travel through solids, liquids and gases as sound waves, while these type cause the most destruction though they can only travel through solids and not liquids.
What are primary and secondary seismic waves?
400
These are the immediate after-effects of a volcanic eruption.
What are ashes and gases could suffocate nearby humans and animals instantly, lava could ignite fires across land and property?
400
This is what the 'eye of the storm' means.
What is when warm air spirals upwards and the area in the center of a storm is calm?
400
This mountain region gets avalanches frequently.
What are the Alps?
500
This is what you should do immediately if an earthquake were to hit during class.
What is stay inside, stay calm, get underneath a desk and cover your head with your hands, remain there until a teacher/staff member tells you it is safe to evacuate the building?
500
These are the three main types of faults.
What are normal, reverse, and slip faults?
500
These are the long-term effects of volcanic eruptions on the environment.
What is harm the eco-system, volcanic ash is good for the soil, the eruption could be so explosive that parts of the land are lost back into the sea?
500
Most hurricanes develop in these areas, concentrated at or near the equator.
What is tropical areas?
500
This is a short-term effect of an avalanche.
What is tourists could be trapped until the roads are cleared?
