Earthquakes, What are earthquakes? Explaining tectonic activity

Tectonic Hazards Topic Bundle

If you like my work, please follow me for more resources and leave a review! This high quality package starts with an insight into natural hazards and hazard risk. The scheme then investigates the structure of the Earth and plate tectonics, to provide the required background knowledge. The location of both earthquakes and volcanoes in relation to plate boundaries is covered, as well as the physical processes taking place at constructive, conservative, destructive and collision boundaries. Case studies material relating to earthquakes focuses on the Japan tsunami of 2011. Pupils are later taught why people continue to live near these hazards despite the risks, and consider how monitoring, prediction and protection can mitigate their effects. **Check out my other topic bundles!** * [Weather & Climate Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12312863) * [Africa & The Development Gap Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12459456) * [Investigating China Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12473330) * [Globalisation Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12559594) * [World Tourism Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12561593) * [India & The Plastic Problem Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12562319) * [Earth's History Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12561627) * [Geographical Skills Topic Bundle](https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/resource-12561642) * Energy & Climate Change Topic Bundle -(Coming soon)
