Unit 4: The changing Earth - the cause and impact of Earth hazards Earth and Environmental Science
Earth hazards occur over a range of time scales and have significant impacts on Earth systems across a wide range of spatial scales. Investigation of naturally occurring and human-influenced Earth hazards enables prediction of their impacts, and the development …
