Explore the complex relationship between human populations and tectonic hazards with this fully planned Year 9 Geography unit, “What Makes People Live Near Tectonic Hazards?”. Building on prior knowledge of plate tectonics and natural disasters, this unit dives deeper into the socio-economic and geographical factors that drive people to live in hazard-prone areas. Perfectly structured for non-specialist teachers, this comprehensive resource provides everything needed to deliver an engaging and thought-provoking unit with minimal preparation.

This unitincludes a detailed medium-term plan, PowerPoints, worksheets, and assessments, all designed to deepen students’ understanding of tectonic hazards, human-environment interactions, and risk management strategies. Retrieval practices and exit tickets are integrated throughout to ensure ongoing learning and assessment.

Unit Objectives:

O1: Understand the causes of tectonic hazards and their impact on human populations.
O2: Develop an understanding of geological timescales and processes, including plate tectonics and earthquakes.
O3: Analyze the relationship between tectonic hazards and human populations through the study of two significant events: the eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano and the Nepal 2015 earthquake.
O4: Explore the reasons why people choose to live in areas prone to tectonic hazards and the challenges they face.
O5: Evaluate the effectiveness of Monitoring, Planning, Prediction, and Protection (MPPP) strategies in managing tectonic hazards.

What Does This Unit Cover?
Students will explore the causes and effects of tectonic hazards, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, and delve into why people choose to live in these high-risk areas. Through in-depth case studies, including the Nyiragongo volcano eruption and the Nepal 2015 earthquake, students will critically assess the impact of these events on human populations and evaluate the effectiveness of various risk management strategies. This unit enhances students’ analytical and geographical investigation skills, encouraging them to think critically about human decision-making in the face of natural hazards.

How Does This Unit Fit into the Broader Curriculum?
This unit serves as a critical stepping stone for more advanced studies in risk management, human geography, and environmental systems, particularly as students progress to GCSE and A-level Geography. The knowledge and skills gained in this unit will be essential for understanding complex themes such as the impact of climate change on natural hazards and the interconnectedness of Earth’s systems. It also sets the stage for future discussions on global extreme weather and other environmental challenges.
