A geologic hazard is one of several types of adverse geologic conditions capable of causing damage or loss of property and life. These hazards consist of sudden phenomena and slow phenomena:Sudden phenomena include: 1  avalanches (snow, rock, or air & snow) and its runout. 2  earthquakes and earthquake-triggered phenomena such as tsunamis.3  forest fires (espec. in Mediterranean areas) leading to deforestation. Geologic hazards may be avoided by relocation. 2  The stability of sloping earth can be improved by the construction of retaining walls, which may use techniques such as slurry walls, shear pins, tiebacks, soil nails or soil anchors. 3  Larger projects may use gabions and other forms of earth buttress.
Tectonic hazards are hazard events caused by tectonic plates colliding into each other, moving against each other, moving apart or subduction between a less dense plate and a more dense plate.Examples of tectonic hazards include: There is a distinct difference between the labelling of natural hazards and disasters.Natural hazard-a natural event with the potential to harm people and their property. Natural disaster-the realisation and impacts of a natural hazard (injuries, deaths, disruption and damage). Earthquakes-these most commonly occur when two tectonic plates move against each other. 2  Rocks break underground at the centre of the earthquake, and then the Earth's crust shakes when energy is released. 3  Tsunamis-caused by the rapid displacement of water.
