Section A: The challenge of natural hazards
Question
- A. It allows for the evacuation of people in high-risk areas
- B. It guarantees that storms will not occur
- C. It provides a detailed analysis of storm damage
- D. It reduces the intensity of the storm
Answer
The correct answer is It allows for the evacuation of people in high-risk areas.
Explanation
The correct option is It allows for the evacuation of people in high-risk areas. It allows for the evacuation of people in high-risk areas is correct because it directly matches the approved learning objective to explain how monitoring, prediction, protection and planning can reduce the effects of tropical storms. This belongs to Weather 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 Weather hazards, reverse the geographical relationship, or make a broader claim than the objective supports.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Monitoring Techniques
Students often confuse monitoring techniques with prediction methods, thinking that both serve the same purpose in reducing the effects of tropical storms.
Clarify that monitoring involves observing and collecting data on tropical storms, while prediction uses that data to forecast future events. Emphasize the importance of both in effective planning and protection strategies.
