Section A: The challenge of natural hazards
Question
- A. Evacuating residents
- B. Establishing early warning systems
- C. Rebuilding homes and infrastructure
- D. Distributing food and water
Answer
The correct answer is Rebuilding homes and infrastructure.
Explanation
The correct option is Rebuilding homes and infrastructure. Rebuilding homes and infrastructure 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.
