60s - Q5
A tiltmeter measures the vertical distance changes in Earth's crust. Which hazard is this tool used to study?
tsunamis
volcanic eruptions
earthquakes
landslides
60s - Q6
Scientists can predict exactly when a volcanic eruption will occur.
falsetrueTrue or False30s - Q7
Why is it beneficial to be able to predict when and where natural hazards will occur?
So that we can harness their power for renewable energy
So that scientists know where to go in order to study them
So that we can stop them from happening again
Communities can be notified to evacuate
60s - Q8
What is the best way to collect data from a hurricane?
ocean buoys
satellite images
ground stations
flying an airplane into the storm
60s - Q9
Why do so many volcanoes and earthquakes happen along plate boundaries?
being closer to sea level with increased amount of rain
extended periods of no rain and lose ground
rising global temperatures increases their strength
plates move and shift at boundaries where meet

a vibration deep within the Earth or at its surface that causes cracking and subsidence.
a spinning windstorm that forms over the ocean with high wind speeds.
a series of fast moving ocean waves usually following an earthquake or volcanic eruption.
when magma rises through the Earth's surface and releases tons of ash and gases.
