Question 1

1. displacement of people, damage to businesses

Question 2

1. Disparities in income can worsen the impacts of earthquakes. countries and people who can afford to invest in earthquake resistant buildings, prewarnings and have the capability to evacuate will face less impacts compared people with low income. people with low income do not have the capability to evacuate their homes, strengthen them and access warnings from the government as easily as others. they also may not be able to afford insurance and if their house collapsed, they would be more vulnerable.

Question 3

1. Strengths:

   • 1.9 million phones - big sample reliable data

   Limitations:

   • time frame very short and may not be able to collect enough data to show the long term impacts
   • there are some districts that do not have data collected so the map shows only partial data.

   Appraisal:

Question 4

1. To what extent did the precautionary warnings and evacuations initiated by the government reduce the primary impacts in Sakurajima, Japan in 1914?
2. My RQ investigates how evacuation strategies reduced the primary impacts of the Sakurajima eruption in 1914. the volcano eruption was the most powerful volcanic eruption in Japan during the 20th century. volcanic eruptions can destroy housing an infrastructure and cause fatal accidents. prewarnings and evacuations mean that the citizens can protect themselves and their houses. In relation to the soi, the rq examines how successful their strategies were in reducing the impact of the 1914 volcanic eruption.
3. interviews , surveys
4. if we take interviews of citizens who had to evacuate, we can get a better understanding of the direct impacts on the population of the eruption as well as how the government action helped them in protecting themselves. this would help me evaluate the impact of the strategies on the community.

Question 5

1. write a blog post to explain the positive and negative impacts of tourism on the culture of one community

Question 6

1. hammad and sarhan
2. www.allthatiswater.org
3. source b shows the location of groundwater basins and the extraction rates of water, it has a key. it will help an myp students because it gives them reliable quantitive data which will help them to identify the basins where more careful management of water extraction is needed.

Question 7

1. Another person may disagree because they think that it is worth spending the money to provide freshwater for the population in jordan. Water is essential for the health and wellbeing of the poeple and the industry of jordan. the residents can no longer rely on groundwater due to contamination so the cost of desalination plants is better than having no water.
