1. Discusses the dynamic and complex nature of Tectonic Hazards in terms of their relationship to the concept of risk. In specific:
a. Why is it difficult to assess risk in terms of tectonic hazards?
b. What is the concept of resilience?
c. What are the social and economic impacts of tectonic hazards?
2. Shifting to the consideration of mass movement hazards which often accompany tectonic hazards, discuss:
a. Slope stability;
b. The role of gravity and the role of water in mass movement events;
c. Whether or not one (gravity or water) can mitigate the effects or either (Gravity or water); How so?
3. Finally, explore triggering events related to potential mass movement events.
a. Can mass movement hazard predictions be made on the basis of understanding of slope stability and triggering events?
