Focusing questions
• What are extreme natural events and where and how often do they occur?
• What are the natural and cultural features of the environments that make them vulnerable to earthquakes?
• What natural processes are involved in the formation of earthquakes?
• What effects do earthquakes have on land and the people?
• How have different groups of people responded to the effects of earthquakes?

Brainstorm
• How many extreme natural events can you think of?
• How may these be categorised?
• Use the A-Z template in teams.

Natural processes
• A natural event is the result of a series of related actions known as processes. Rainfall processes for example, include evaporation, condensation and precipitation.

Human use of an area
Extreme NaturalEvent
Intersection
• Copy the Venn diagram below and give a name to the data found at the intersection of the diagram.
• Add the following examples to the appropriate places : 1. Farms, towns, mines2. A volcanic eruption on an uninhabited island3. A volcanic eruption in Auckland

Classification of Extreme natural events
1. Duration of the event. Some may last for years (eg. coastal erosion) while others are over in a few seconds. (eg. An earthquake)
2. Frequency of the event. Some may occur many times a year (eg. Storms) while others may occur only once every 500 years (eg. earthquake)

Classification of Extreme natural events ctd..
3. Damage caused. Some extreme natural events cause a lot of damage and death (eg. a cyclone) while others cause very little damage & are rarely life-threatening (eg. A frost)
4. The area affected. Some extreme natural events affect huge areas (eg. A tsunami) while others may affect only a few hectares (eg. hail)
