Investigation of Natural Hazards: Theoretical and Practical Models

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different types of methods needed to determinate risk of natural hazards on the field for different types of hazards. Avalanche and rockfall act the same, get acceleration from gravity depend on slope. It mostly often that they both possible in mountain region around the earth. But behavior of this processes is different and consequences are also different. To predict rockfalls and avalanches we have to create method which can be compared with reality. Compare model versus reality possible in areas with many years of observations. So we can use thisa model to simulate behavior of rockfalls and avalanches in not studied areas.
