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. This thread will follow this developing story.🧵An unfolding thread🧵 pic.twitter.com/3TK5eYKXDR— Alistair Hamill @geogviz on Bluesky (@lcgeography) November 11, 2023

4/ Excellent video from @HubGeology giving an initial analysis of the impact of the Marapi eruption & suggesting why this event was not foreseen. https://t.co/3gJPMZSMlp pic.twitter.com/i2NrYRGRXo— Alistair Hamill @geogviz on Bluesky (@lcgeography) December 4, 2023

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

Look for opp to develop synopticity + integrate geog skills '1:Analysis of hazard distribution patterns on world and regional scale maps'e.g. tsunamis; tectonic mega-disasters #GIS web map @ArcGISOnline created in @GIPedagogy@GIS4Schools @Dav1dM0rganhttps://t.co/Mf4BbXTsLm pic.twitter.com/04XSAG4qzU— BC (@mildthing99) August 28, 2021

Seeing the Bigger Picture in GeographyGeographers see a photo like this and, almost immediately, link together a range of processes, concepts and landforms.I like showing this photo and the diagram to students to explain what we’re trying to do in lessons.#geographyteacher pic.twitter.com/HV5pb4nSQB— Luke Tayler (@geotayler) December 9, 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.

Immediate and long-term responses to tectonic hazards - Find out about the immediate and long-term responses to tectonic hazards.

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.

These plates meet at plate boundaries and are in constant motion. Where the surfaces of these
