IAS Geog - Week 1 - World at Risk - Global hazards and causes
65 slide presentation with video links for clear explanation and classroom activities
Enquiry question: What are global hazards and what causes them? 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)

associated hazards. There are a couple of past paper questions taken from other examining boards to cover student breadth of knowledge and links to many external YouTube videos to help get a good background in tropical cyclone formation.

This classroom teaching presentation :
defines what the coast is
describes the marine (erosional) and terrestrial (sub-aerial) processes at work on the coast
explains the differences between constructive and destructive waves and how they are generated
explains the process of longshore drift
outlines the factors affecting the coast
makes the distinction between erosional and depositional landforms; concordant and discordant coasts
The presentation is invaluable for teachers looking to guide students through coastal geography topics for the first time at IGCSE level and also for AS level students that have not previously looked at coastal geography and need it for ‘Crowded Coasts’ or ‘Coastal Conflict’ units.
The PPT includes video links for explanation of processes and landforms from the excellent TimeForGeography series.
