American Military University Dynamic and Complex Nature of Tectonic Hazards Discussion

Here are the questions that need answered

• 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?
