A Level Geography - Hazardous Environments (Cambridge)

(0)
Full scheme of work for Cambridge A Level (9696) Geography. Can easily be adapted for other exam boards without issue. This scheme of work follows a logical format, and each lesson includes an information resource which includes all required information so students do not require to conduct any further research. This scheme of work involved a huge amount of effort and hours to create, hence the price. Lessons cover mass movement, tectonic hazards, atmospheric disturbances, etc. Content: 9.1 Hazards resulting from tectonic processes The global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes related to plate tectonics. Earthquakes and resultant hazards: shaking, landslides, soil liquefaction, and tsunami. Volcanoes and resultant hazards: types of eruption and their products (nuées ardentes, lava flows, volcanic mudflows/lahars, volcanic landslides, pyroclastic flows, and ash fallout). Primary and secondary impacts on lives and property. Prediction, hazard mapping, preparedness and monitoring of earthquake and volcanic hazards and perception of risk. 9.2 Hazards resulting from mass movements Mass movements and resultant hazards: nature and causes. Impacts on lives and property. Prediction, hazard mapping, preparedness and monitoring of the hazard and the perception of risk. 9.3 Hazards resulting from atmospheric disturbances Global distribution of areas most at risk from large-scale tropical disturbances (cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons) and small-scale atmospheric disturbances (tornadoes). Processes causing the formation and development of cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons and tornadoes. Hazards from large-scale atmospheric disturbances: storm surges, coastal flooding, intense rainfall leading to severe river floods and mass movement, and high winds.
