hazards separating into primary and secondary. Primary being the ash and dust‚ lava flow‚ volcanic gases and pyroclastic flow. How each one threatens the people live varies because ash and dust can disrupt transport therefore having an effect on any aid which may need to be brought in via planes. Also it can cause breathing problem due to high concentration of carbon and dioxide and sulphur gases found that erupt from the volcano. Pyroclastic flow is dense destructive mass of hot ash lava fragments

To what extent do you agree that river landforms can be classified as either erosional or depositional? Many different landforms are made by either deposition or erosion and there are some cases where they can be classified as both.

The coastal zone is one of the most densely populated areas globally because of favourable locational factors‚ yet it is an area of immense environmental value. This topic allows students to carry out detailed studies of contrasting coastal environments at a local/ small scale‚ exploring competing and conflicting land uses‚ and evaluating the pressures created by development. It considers how vulnerable and valuable coastlines face a growing physical risk from rapid coastal erosion and coastal

like this contributed to the underdevelopment of Haiti? I also want to study how Haiti can maximize and develop their human resources in order to improve the quality of life. Lastly‚ how has mismanagement and lack of resources in Haiti contributed to the ecologically hazardous environment‚ such as the large scale of deforestation on the hillsides of Haiti. I am interested in how all of these different issues are interconnect and contribute to Haiti being the poorest country in the western hemisphere
