To learn ways in which earthquakes and volcanoes can be
predicted. To learn how dangers can be prevented. To learn about
responses to the hazards. Key Skill = Communication
Slide 3
Draw a diagram to help you remember the different ways that
scientists predict & prevent tectonic hazards.
Slide 4
What are possible short term responses to hazards?
Slide 5
Slide 6
Describe the position of the British Isles in relation to the
tectonic plates. [1] Describe fully the pattern of features of the
earth's crust shown on the map. [4]
Slide 7
The plate margin between the Nazca plate and the South American
Plate is destructive. Annotate the diagram to explain how volcanic
eruptions occur along such plate margins [2]
Slide 8
The photograph below shows a pyroclastic flow. Explain how
people living close to such a volcano may be affected by these
flows. [2] Explain why the effects of volcanic eruptions are often
more severe when they occur in LEDC's rather than MEDC's. [6]
