Q1 Causal explanation / process understanding

Explain two factors that can affect the level of risk posed by a natural hazard.

4 marks

Show a model answer

Model answer. Risk depends on the hazard’s magnitude and frequency, but also on exposure and vulnerability. A densely populated settlement in the hazard zone exposes more people; weak buildings, poverty or limited emergency services increase vulnerability and potential losses. Preparedness and capacity to respond can reduce risk.
