the immediate impacts of a tectonic hazard which are directly caused by it

indirect effects that occur as a consequence of a tectonic hazard’s primary impacts

Impacts of volcanoes in a developed and an emerging country

Geography

The structure of the Earth

Plate tectonics theory

Global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes

Processes at constructive/divergent plate margins

Processes at destructive/convergent plate margins

Processes at conservative plate margins

Impacts of earthquakes in a developed and a developing country

Reducing risks from earthquakes and volcanoes

Examples of management of volcanic hazards

Examples of management of earthquake hazards

Using GIS to visualise physical processes at different types of plate margin

This unit teaches pupils about tectonic hazards, their location, causes and effects. Pupils learn about the different types of hazard before focusing on earthquakes and volcanoes. Pupils will learn about tectonic processes, hazard impacts and the options for mitigation and adaptation.

Tectonic hazards

Depiction or discussion of famine, disease, natural disasters.

Depiction or discussion of violence or suffering

What is a primary impact of a volcanic eruption?

What is a secondary impact of a volcanic eruption?

Which of these is a typical primary impact?

Volcanic impacts are always worse in LICs and NEEs

HICs don’t suffer from volcanic hazards

Both HICs and NEEs can suffer severe impacts

Which of the following statements is true?
