Question
Give two examples of long-term responses to a tectonic hazard and explain their importance.
Answer
Two examples of long-term responses to a tectonic hazard are the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings and the establishment of early warning systems. These responses are important because they help to reduce the risk of damage and loss of life in future events, enhancing community resilience.
Explanation
This question assesses the student's ability to identify and explain the significance of long-term strategies in disaster risk reduction. It encourages students to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications in real-world scenarios.
Common mistake
Confusing Immediate and Long-term Responses
Students often mix up immediate responses (like search and rescue) with long-term responses (like rebuilding infrastructure) to tectonic hazards.
To fix this, create a clear list of examples for both immediate and long-term responses, highlighting the time frame and purpose of each response.
