Question
- A. Rebuilding infrastructure
- B. Providing emergency aid
- C. Implementing long-term recovery plans
- D. Conducting geological surveys
Answer
The correct answer is Providing emergency aid.
Explanation
The correct option is Providing emergency aid. Providing emergency aid is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to distinguish immediate and long-term responses to a tectonic hazard. This belongs to Tectonic hazards within Section A: The challenge of natural hazards, so the answer must stay focused on the geographical process, evidence, place, or impact named by the curriculum. The other options are weaker because they move away from Tectonic hazards, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
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.
