- Theories of plate tectonics
- Key definitions
- Tectonic hazards - type (event profiles) & global distribution
- plate boundaries/margins
- associated features (rift valleys, ocean trenches, hotspot volcanoes)
- characteristics of each - hazard type, lava type
- Physical impacts
- extrusive landforms
- intrusive landforms
- Human impacts - range of case studies (6 case study profiles, including Park model for each)
- Responses to tectonic hazards
- please find and use the powerpoint on the shared area that has a wide range of techniques and methods of managing earthquakes & volcanoes
- Players involved - research the different groups involved in hazard management - identify: (a) the scale that it operates at; (b) its role and function; (c) it's impact in reducing mortality and disaster prevention
- Future of tectonic hazards - choose a range of different hazards
- Identify areas most at risk in the future because of population growth and unsustainable development
- assess the benefits and costs of different management approaches (in a table?)
The last two topics - response and the future - probably need more attention than the others.
Also, go back through your work, ensuring that you have made a note of the reference (name of website, search term) for all of your material.
