The document provides instructions for a geography class activity and assignment. Students are asked to: 1. Draw and label a sketch map of the world showing the continents and a country for each. 2. Compare and contrast the impact and management of hazards between more economically developed countries (MEDC) and less economically developed countries (LEDC) using case studies. 3. Work in groups to create a presentation, written report, and visual answering how the human response can affect the impact of hazards. The report should link to sustainability, development, and specific case studies from countries like Haiti, Japan, Iceland, and Sri Lanka.

1. Do now…
O Draw a sketch map of the world
O Label the continents
O Label a country for each continent

4. Why live in the danger zone?
List 5 reasons
why people
may live in
tectonic zones.

5. Why live in
Bam, Iran?

6. Why live in Bam?
O Surrounded by desert, it is a natural oasis
area
O Very rare to have such access to water
O Rich soils
O Can create economic advantage

7. Why live in
Ijen Java,
Indonesia?

8. Sulphur mining. Matches and white sugar are among the products
made with sulphur hewn by hand from an active volcano Ijen Java.
Provides economic investment + employment.
But, is this one of the most dangerous jobs in the world?

9. The miners break the cooled sulphur into chunks, and load up their
wicker baskets for the 200 metre climb back up out of the crater.
Each man carries up to twice his body weight.

10. How can people and
places be protected
from the effects of
tectonic activity?

11. Response & Recovery

12. Response & recovery

13. ‘How can the human response
affect the impact of hazards?’
O Produce a presentation in groups (CHOSEN BY ME)
O Create a written report & visual to answer the
question.
O Link to specific case studies (Haiti, Japan, Iceland,
ENQUIRY
Sri Lanka).
O Include theory, key terms, impacts, responses,
evidence.
