GCSEPod® Geography - The Effects of a Natural Hazard

**This is a short sample from GCSEPod® Geography - The Effects of a Natural Hazard. The full title is nearly 25 minutes long and includes 5 Chapters. **

When thinking about an event or issue in Geography, we usually consider its causes and effects. It is important that we know and understand the effects of natural hazards. When considering the effects of any natural hazard it is best to break it down into three categories, enabling us to see how everything is affected. First we will look at the social effects - this is how people are affected. Next, we will examine the economic effects - how income for individual households and the whole economy of the country is affected. Thirdly is the environmental impact that a natural hazard has on an area. If we consider these categories, we will gain a good understanding of the effects both short term - immediately after the hazard occurred - and the long term effects, which can range from a few weeks to many years.
