Tectonic Hazards (AQA GCSE Geography)

Suggest why earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happen close to the plate margin at Y.

Use Figure 2 and your own understanding.

Using Figure 1 and your own understanding, suggest how plate movements cause tectonic hazards at this boundary

Explain how the risks of a tectonic hazard can be reduced.

Using Figure 2 and your own understanding, suggest how plate movements cause tectonic hazards in Iceland.

Explain how living in areas that are at risk from a tectonic hazard(s) may have both advantages and disadvantages.

Explain why earthquakes and volcanic eruptions take place along destructive plate margins.

Study Figure 5, photographs showing different types of response to a tectonic hazard.

‘Long-term responses to a tectonic hazard are more important than immediate responses.’
Do you agree?
Using Figure 5 and one or more examples, explain your answer.

To what extent do the effects of a tectonic hazard vary between areas of contrasting wealth?

Use one or more named examples in your answer

Study Figure 1, which shows long term responses to a tectonic hazard event

Figure 1 

Evaluate the effectiveness of long term responses to a tectonic hazard using figure 1 and your own knowledge.

Study Figure 6, diagrams of different types of plate margin.

Suggest how the processes taking place at different types of plate margin can lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity.

Use Figure 6 and your own understanding.
