Describe an extreme natural event and the human response
This achievement standard involves the description of an extreme natural event, from the development through to the completion of the human response.
Assessment against this achievement standard will include a combination of skills, knowledge and geographic ideas. Assessment will be selected from: • processes that produce an extreme natural event • effects of an extreme natural event on the natural environment • effects of an extreme natural event on economic and social activities • how people can prepare for and respond to the effects of an extreme natural event. The demonstration of knowledge of any significant extreme natural event from around the World will meet the requirements of this achievement standard.
