The hazard map for meteorological hazard has similarities and differences with the geological hazard map, one of the similarities is that both map are 1.______ 2._______ which would make the reading of map easy and immediately. Second both maps illustrate the 3._____ or 4.______ of a specific 5.______ in which the hazard will traverse. The difference in the geological hazard map is it is much more detailed in terms of the 6.______ or 7._____ the locality or community has, unlike the meteorological hazard map which does not show infrastructures or facilities. Another difference of the meteorological map to geological map is the meteorological map is frequently evaluated and up-dated due to the natural 8.______ of 9.________ 10.________, because most of the weather patterns in the world today has change.
