This post (and the next couple) give some feedback for the Hazards Report. It's relevant to SOSE in general -- History for next semester, too.Ensure you read all instructions carefully and address them fully! Things you should have picked up from the task sheet and classroom instructions include:
- Any images (photos, diagrams, etc.) used must be directly relevant. You should therefore either have labeled them or referred to them in your report. You needed to include images in parts 3, 4 and 5. (If you struggled to find diagrams, you could have devised some of your own using the information you found.)
- All technical terms (weather conditions, etc.) should be defined and explained. For example, what is the difference between a cyclone, a hurricane and a typhoon?
- In part 3, the main thing to be addressed was what the hazard is, why it occurs and how it forms. Your descriptions and explanations needed to be detailed. You should have discussed whether your hazard is more common or likely in certain regions or conditions. Also, how long does your hazard take to form and then remain a hazard?
- A case study is an incidence of a hazard becoming a disaster. For example, Hurricane Katrina, Ash Wednesday, the Thredbo landslide, the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake (the December 2004 tsunami). You needed to refer to more than one case study in part 4.
- Environmental effects includes human societies as well as the natural world. Questions you should have dealt with include, How intense, widespread and lasting are the hazard’s effects?
- Part 5 needed to address a whole area (city, coastline, etc.), not just individual homes.
