This learning resource focuses on understanding natural hazards and their connection to Earth's internal and surface processes. It aims to help students explain what natural hazards are, differentiate between internal movements such as tectonic plate activity and surface movements like weathering and water processes, and discuss the specific hazard events that result from these processes. Additionally, the resource addresses the human impact of these hazards, including how they affect people, infrastructure, safety, and the environment. The synthesis prompt encourages students to connect these concepts by describing how a specific Earth process can become a natural hazard and its implications for communities.
