A Level Geography (2016) EQ1 Hazards

Four lessons investigating the first enquiry question in Edexcel (2016): EQ1: Why are some locations more at risk from tectonic hazards?
There are four powerpoints, with a variety of activities including group work, videos, 'chalk and talk' and individual work.
The lessons are designed to be one hour long, but could be combined and all include extensions or homework.

They cover a variety of LOs:
Understand the development and evidence for tectonic theory.
Understanding the key processes at different plate boundaries.
Understand that physical processes can determine the magnitude and type of volcanic eruption.
Be able to describe the importance of the Benioff zone in determining the outcome of an earthquake.
Explain the difference between S and P waves and the hazards they create.
Understand that many secondary hazards are produced from tectonic events and many of these can have deadly consequences.
Describe how an earthquake can generate a tsunami and the speed at which it travels outwards from the epicentre.
