Natural Hazards
INFORMATION ABOUT THE SMALL IDEA
Earth > Earth materials and structure > Natural Hazards
Natural hazards are numerous (e.g. earthquakes, typhoons) and are due to the existence of different natural processes. Their occurrence is not equally distributed around Earth and can affect the distribution of populations.
Connection to Big Idea about energy: Natural hazards may result from the localized and sudden release of energy - or rather, of its transformation from one shape to another (e.g. Earthquakes).
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Some natural hazards result from encounters between Earth and small components of the Solar System (comets and meteorites).
