IAS Geography / Topic 1: World at Risk When does a hazard become a disaster? Natural hazards are caused bygeophysical processes: Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Landslides, Tsunamis. Natural hazards are caused byhydro-meteorological processes: Cyclones, Depressions, Weather associated with a depression, Hurricanes, Drought, Floods, Tornadoes, El Niño explained. Disaster risk can be explained bythe relationship between hazards,vulnerability and capacity to cope (The Disaster Risk Equation) Global Warming: Causes of global warming, The major sources of greenhouses gases, Predicted Effects of Global Warming for the year 2100, What have we done about it so far? UNFCCC – 20 Years of Effort and Achievement, Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, Bonn climate change conference (COP 23) Context and chronic hazards

This comprehensive 61- slidePower Point presentation is one of 4 to cover the compulsory Unit 2 topic for Edexcel IAL Geography.
