Factors Affecting the Impacts of Geophysical Hazard Events (DP IB Geography)

It is important to recognise that all of these factors are interlinked and may affect one another. For example, level of development affects building quality, and can also affect population density. It is important in the exam that you acknowledge that these factors do not affect the impacts of a hazard event in isolation; it is the combination of all of them that determines the impact that a hazard event has.
