Y13 - UNIT 4 - TECTONICS - research tasks

Hi all - tomorrow I have booked C151 for you.

We have now covered the following things in our research portfolio:

• theories of plate tectonics
• physical processes
• extrusive & intrusive landforms
• Case study profiles (including the PARK model for all 6) for a variety of different case studies

If any of these things are incomplete, they must be completed

We now need to spend a week researching the human impacts of tectonic hazards. You will have done some of this when creating the case study profiles.

Look at p.259-264 in the textbook. Spend about 4 hours researching the variation in the impacts and what causes these variations.

Please make sure in your research that you are writing down the references of the sites/books you use.

Energy security - Unit 3

Please read this article, make sure you understand the key points from it

UNIT 4 - understanding risk

Please study this graphic. This shows how risk is calculated. Print a copy from this website World Risk Index 2016 and illustrate this with example. Find 5 countries that are at completely different points along the worldriskindex spectrum (at the bottom of the graphic), and bullet point the reasons why. Remember from AS - exposure to natural hazard concerns the frequency and the magnitude of hazards. The vulnerability concerns levels of development and so on.

How do we present/display this? Mindmap? Table? You decide

UNIT 4 - Geographical research - for Hollie & others who missed today's lesson

1. 30 minutes: ensure you have diagrams/annotations/notes on the following landforms: • Batholiths • Sills • Dykes • Faults • Rift valleys • microfracturing (include photo examples of each)

2. 1 hr: Create a notes page on the Parks model. Print, stick, annotate.

3. 5 hours: half term: create case study profiles for 7 tectonic hazards

UNIT 4 - GEOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH - ***IMPORTANT***

Please work through this presentation on slideshare, about

• theory of plate tectonics
• evidence for it
• essentials of oceanography & paleogeography

Some will be familiar; some will not

Please add the appropriate information to your research portfolio
