| Why do People chose to live in Areas where the Risk for a Tectonic Hazard is High? eg 1 Million People in Italy live near a Tectonic Risk -Mount Etna. | -They have always Lived There - leaving will equal Job Loss and away from Family
-Monitoring and Evacuations Plans can make the Risk Lower
-They feel Comfortable as because their Government will Help them after a Tectonic Hazard.
-Soil, from Volcanic Ash, is Stupid Fertile meaning Farming can Generate a Profit

| What happens in Monitoring? | -For Earthquakes: Seismometers used to track the Movement of the Earth, and can give out Warnings to alert People to Watch Out
-For Volcanoes: Tiny Earthquakes, Gas escaping the Crater and the Volcano changing its Shape can be used to see if a Volcano is Coming |
| What happens in Prediction? | -For Earthquakes: Very hard to Predict, but they can be Tracked of their Movement - meaning you can Guess vaguely When it may Happen
-For Volcanoes: Monitoring it Closely can give you Hints when its about to Go eg Gas starts to Escape |
| What happens in Protection? | -For Earthquakes: Reinforced Concrete can be used to Absorb the Earthquake's Energy, Steel Frames can Strengthen the Business more and Auto Switch offs to Electricity and Gas reduces risk of Fire
-For Volcanoes: Strengthening Buildings can ensure they won't Collapse from the Ash and Trenches can be made to try to Divert Lava away from the Population Centre |
| What happens in Planning? | -Ensure that Development doesn't go on High Risk Areas
-Making sure the Emergency Services have Training
