Hazard Jeopardy ......

The human race prides itself on being able to control things. Most people want complete control over what happens to them in their lives. The planet we live on doesn't always allow us to fulfill that. Sometimes we really have no control over the planet. This is seen when geologic hazards such as volcanoes, earthquakes, floods, and mud slides take over areas and destroy everything in their path. They leave us feeling helpless, confused, and often in awe. There is really nothing we can do to prevent these hazards so we must learn to live with them. By studying the hazards and gaining knowledge on how they form, we can try to predict when a natural hazard may next occur. Through this knowledge, lives may be saved and complete surprise can be avoided.
