Sample question
Weeks of monsoon rain saturate the slopes above a fictional valley town. A landslide then blocks the river, and when the impounded water breaks through it floods settlements downstream. Which classification of this sequence is most accurate?
  • A hydro-meteorological primary hazard (prolonged rainfall) triggers a geological secondary hazard (landslide), whose temporary river blockage then produces an outburst flood
  • A single geological hazard, because the landslide did the damage
  • A technological hazard, because the outcome depended on where people had built their homes
  • Three unrelated hazards that happened to coincide in the same valley
Show the worked answer

Answer: A

The trigger is prolonged rainfall, a weather and water process, so the primary hazard is hydro-meteorological. The saturated slope failing is a geological process set off by that rain, making it a secondary hazard, and the outburst flood is a further hydro-meteorological consequence. Classification follows the cause of each process, not where the damage occurred, and the links in the chain are interconnected rather than coincidental.
