Lesson plans, activities and revision materials to support your teaching of restless earth in geography

The topic restless earth is taught to secondary geography students at both KS3 and KS4. Understanding the causes of natural disasters, as well as the short and long term impacts these can have on communities, is a significant and engaging part of the geography syllabus.
