A carefully laid out and concise lesson / revision resource on Managing Tectonic Hazards topic for AQA
This download includes a Powerpoint, 2x Activity Sheets & a Worksheet
Powerpoint includes:
Monitoring:
Volcanoes: Use of seismometers, tilt meters, remote sensing, gas sensors
Earthquakes: Seismometers, Gas sensors, Ground water levels
Prediction
Volcanoes: easier to predict, allows for quicker evacuation, uses same tools as monitoring
Earthquakes: very hard, can use seismic gap theory, animals heave strangely, uses same tools as monitoring
Planning
Volcanoes: Evacuation plan, Training, Educate residents
Earthquakes: Stick furniture and objects down, Evacuation plans, Education e.g. earthquake drills, Prepare emergency aid, Training for emergency services
Protection
Volcanoes: little can be done, make sure evacuation plans are in place
Earthquakes: Buildings can be designed to be earthquake proof e.g. Shutters on windows prevent falling glass, Cross-bracing, Foundations sunk into the bedrock, Rubber shock absorbers
Activity explanation and exam question with model answer
Summary slide
