Mass movement hazards (earthquakes) paper

/in /by

To all:
I need the following accomplished (750 words, APA format) and addressed in a paper;

  • Discusses the dynamic and complex nature of Tectonic Hazards in terms of their relationship to the concept of risk. In specific:
    • Why is it difficult to assess risk in terms of tectonic hazards?
    • What is the concept of resilience?
    • What are the social and economic impacts of tectonic hazards?
  • Shifting to the consideration of mass movement hazards which often accompany tectonic hazards, discuss:
    • Slope stability;
    • The role of gravity and the role of water in mass movement events;
    • Whether or not one (gravity or water) can mitigate the effects or either (Gravity or water); How so?
  • Finally, explore triggering events related to potential mass movement events.
    • Can mass movement hazard predictions be made on the basis of understanding of slope stability and triggering events?

Research and investigation beyond those materials indicated in the course-ware will be required.

  • Your assignment must be properly formatted and cited using APA, 6th Edition format.
  • Your assignment must be a minimum of 750 words, not counting cover page and reference page material. Your writing can be longer, but it cannot be under the minimum indicated word-count for credit.
  • Do not simply list questions and respond – your work is intended to be a complete, integrative narrative that embodies an introduction a body within which you respond to the targeted questions and a summary and conclusion
