Global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes

Processes at constructive/divergent plate margins

Processes at destructive/convergent plate margins

Impacts of earthquakes in a developed and a developing country

Reducing risks from earthquakes and volcanoes

Examples of management of volcanic 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

HICs don’t suffer from volcanic hazards

Both HICs and NEEs can suffer severe impacts
