2.2.2 The Lithosphere (KQ2): Earthquakes - Differences in effects in LEDCs and MEDCs

LEDC vs MEDC Earthquake Differences

Why bring a discussion of economic diversity into the study of earthquakes as they relate to the environment?  The different impacts between the two clearly show us that we need to bring LEDCs to MEDC level in order to minimize the impact that they have on the human population.  Do not forget...the main point of environmental science is to sustain life on earth, and there are things we can do to protect ourselves from earthquakes to make our lives more sustainable.

Read the linked case studies that shows the impact of two very similar earthquakes in two very different locations.  Take notes on it...we will analyze it in class tomorrow and watch a video of another case study.
