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.
