Homework4: Haiti LEDC earthquake.
INSTRUCTIONS: Use facts from the graphs to finish these
sentences about development and earthquake impacts.
Earthquakes care nothing of development
levels and the highest magnitude
earthquake was _______ on the Richter
scale in China, with Italy suffering less
with ________ on the Richter scale.
It seems though that the strength of the
quake is not the most important factor
when looking at rescue rates. In Haiti
despite having a lesser magnitude quake
they had 1 in ______________ who were
affected being rescued.
Italy had the best rescue rate at
__________________________________.
Deaths and homelessness also see’s Italy being
affected less with the deaths being as low as
______________.
China seems to have the most homeless as it
has ______________ but in real terms the
small island of Haiti was affected worse as a
small population had _______________ dead
and ______________ homeless.
The pattern for those dying if affected is also
not based on magnitude because…
Finally it seems that we can say why L’Aquila
is less affected in homelessness, death and
injury while Haiti is most affected. It does not
seem to depend on the magnitude but it
depends on the ________ relative to _____.
______________ had to use the least of it’s
GDP to rescue people where as ___________
had to use almost half.
