A book review of The Coming Storm for geography teachers

🚨 BREAKING: A jökulhlaup (glacial outburst flood) has begun at Grímsvötn, signalling a heightened possibility of a volcanic eruption, says Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, a geophysics professor at the University of Iceland. #Grímsvötn #IcelandVolcanoAlert pic.twitter.com/k1m31I9xX2— Lava Centre (@LavaCentre) January 11, 2024

1/ Possible (likely?) immanent eruption in the Reykjanes Peninsula, Iceland. Evidence has been building that another eruption is probable in Iceland, close to the previous eruptions.

1/ Powerful footage from the eruption of Marapi, Indonesia this weekend. Sadly, 11 hikers have been confirmed dead with others still missing. This video shows the conditions some of the survivors of the ash, many of whom had to be treated for burns. pic.twitter.com/cPOHoPOPRn— Alistair Hamill @geogviz on Bluesky (@lcgeography) December 4, 2023

Hurricane Mitch, hurricane (tropical cyclone) that devastated Central America, particularly Honduras and Nicaragua, in late October 1998. Hurricane Mitch was recognized as the second deadliest Atlantic hurricane on record, after the Great Hurricane of 1780. With millions left homeless and property

Chile earthquake of 2010, severe earthquake that occurred on February 27, 2010, off the coast of south-central Chile, causing widespread damage on land and initiating a tsunami that devastated some coastal areas of the country. Together, the earthquake and tsunami were responsible for more than 500 deaths.

What measures can be used to assess the development gap?There are many different measures used to assess the development gap, each one offering an alternate way of dividing up the world with regards to how developed it is. Here, we shall look at some of the most common indicators of development used in geography.

Earthquakes usually occur when deep rock breaks or moves along a fault line. Learn more about the hazards of earthquakes here

Deadliest natural disaster between 1950 and 2022 was estimated to be Cyclone Bhola in Bangladesh in 1970. The 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean was in fourth.
