Earthquakes in MEDCs – Japan 2011 To create a case study on an Earthquake in an MEDC in order examine how it affects the land and the lives of people who live there

MEDC Earthquake - Japan 2011 Task: 1) In your books draw a sketch outline of Japan. It should be as big as possible on the page. Add a north arrow. Mark on the location of Tokyo, Sendai and Fukushima Nuclear Power Station. Label the main islands. 2) Add on the epicentre and the force of the earthquake 3) Add the plate margins and explain why it happened where it did. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nTlgtf7TME

The effects of the Earthquake 1) Look through the pictures in your groups and discuss and list down what you see and how these things will affect the people that live there.

FUKUSHIMA

The long term affects of the Earthquake! Effects. Although a secondary effect (something caused by the earthquake that happens later) of the Japanese quake was the tsunami, this in itself caused another secondary effect. Research the Fukushima nuclear accident and watch this video from the BBC. Create a fact sheet that shows the causes and short term (up to one week) and long term (years in the future) effects of the nuclear accident.
