SCI-04.ESS3.02 Generate and compare multiple solutions to reduce the impacts of natural Earth processes on humans.

Clarification Statement: Examples of solutions could include designing flood control methods, earthquake, tornado, or hurricane resistant buildings, and improving predictions and forecasts.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
A variety of hazards result from natural processes (e.g., earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions). Humans cannot eliminate the hazards but can take steps to reduce their impacts. Testing a solution involves investigating how well it performs under a range of likely conditions. (secondary)
