Lesson plans, activities and revision materials to support your teaching of tectonic hazards in geography

A popular GCSE topic, the challenge of natural hazards or the restless earth, covers tectonic hazards that occur on, around and near plate boundaries. Understanding the causes of tectonic natural disasters, along with the short and long term impacts they can have on communities, is a significant part of the geography syllabus. So, to help speed up the planning process, we’ve brought together a selection of resources focusing on earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and plate tectonics.
