Transcript Comparing the effects of natural disasters on MEDCs and LEDCs

Comparing the effects of natural
disasters on MEDCs and LEDCs
To compare the effects of volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes of TWO places you have studied
Task: Complete the table below using the case studies you have
investigated for BOTH volcanic eruptions and earthquakes
Name of
event/country/
LEDC/MEDC
Short term effects
Long term effects
Long term responses
Short term responses
Task: Compare!
1) How do the effects of a earthquake vary
between a MEDC and an LEDC?
2) How do the effects of a volcanic eruption
vary between a MEDC and an LEDC?
3) Overall what are the differences/similarities
between the effects and responses in an
MEDC and an LEDC after a natural disaster?
