What is geography and how do geographers use landform features and maps to study global patterns? Using this approach, describe and demonstrate three types of natural hazard experienced that has led to loss of life on a global basis in the last 20 years. Be sure to identify specific events and explain the mechanics behind each hazardous process, using maps to identify causal factors and landforms as evidence of these processes. What can be done to reduce the loss of life in these regions? Should humans simply avoid these regions or create modifications to reduce the effect of such processes?
