General
Two types of natural disasters that Thailand never experiences
Volcanic Eruptions (not near a fault line or hotspot) and Tornadoes (not on a flat open land where cold and warm air collide)?
This is a natural phenomenon that produces seismic waves
An earthquake
This is how volcanoes almost always occur.
When the edges of two tectonic plates meet
What is the main chemical responsible for climate change?
Carbon dioxide
What is the main chemicals responsible for the hole in the ozone layer?
CFCs
This records the amplitude and speed of all earthquakes.
A seismograph?
These are two main causes of earthquakes.
Volcanic eruptions and the movement of "plates" below the Earth's surface
What can be found inside of a volcano.
Hot magma, volcanic ashes, and gases
Why did the level of greenhouse gases become high in the atmosphere?
What is the symbol for ozone?
O3
These are impacted by the long term effects of disasters.
Education, infrastructure, tourism, and the economy?
The waves of energy that are carried through the ground.
Seismic waves
This is where the ring of fire is.
Pacific Ocean
Why is the greenhouse effect not a bad thing. What do we need to add to that term "greenhouse effect" to understand the bad effects...
Enhanced greenhouse effect
Human caused greenhouse effect
Anthropogenic greenhouse effect
Name some of the impacts of a depleted ozone layer.
Increased skin cancers
Cataracts, blindness and other eye diseases
This is something governments can do/have to minimize the risk of death and destruction to their country.
Create a disaster plan (have it implemented in public spaces such as schools, shopping areas, and offices; run frequent practice drills, etc)?
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.
Primary are fastest and secondary seismic waves are slower and can't travel through liquids
These are the immediate after-effects of a volcanic eruption.
Ashes and gases could suffocate nearby humans and animals instantly, lava could ignite fires across land and property
Name any of the other effects of the enhanced greenhouse effect besides global warming
Ocean acidification
Extreme weather events
Rising sea levels
Where is the ozone layer the thinnest?
Over Antarctica
This is what you should do immediately if an earthquake were to hit during class.
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?
These are the three main types of faults.
Normal, reverse, and slip faults
These are the long-term effects of volcanic eruptions on the environment.
Climate change in the short term (up to 1 year)
What does it mean that fossil fuels are a carbon sink?
That they store carbon dioxide
What is the Montreal Protocol?
An international agreement to stop the use of CFCs
