EQ2: Why do some tectonic hazards develop into disasters? Reorder

Target Level

Running Total

Attempt

1 of 3

Drag and drop the boxes into the correct order.

Order the following components of the PAR (pressure and release) model, which is described from left to right and top down, with 1 in the top left.

The first of these three boxes lists the root causes - which are limited access to power, structures and resources, and also ideologies - political and economic systems.
On the right-hand side, the natural hazards feed into the disaster. The hazards include earthquakes, floods, landslides, volcanic eruptions, droughts, viruses and pests, and wind storms.
These are fed into the disaster box, which has the equation Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability.
On the left-hand side there are three sub-boxes under the general heading of 'Progression of Vulnerability'.
These are fed into the next box - unsafe conditions. These include the physical environment, the local environment, social relations and public relations.
These are then fed into the next box - dynamic pressures. These include a lack of training, local investment and press freedom. They also include macro-forces - such as rapid population growth, urbanisation and deforestation.

This is your 1^st attempt! The marking algorithm gives more marks for getting the right order first time.
