HW 2: Comparing Two Volcanoes TASK: Describe how the effects of a volcano in a richer area of the world are different from the effects of a volcano in a poorer area of the world. Use the information below to help you. (6 marks) Mt. St. Helens, USA (MEDC) Erupted May 18, deaths caused mainly by the release of poisonous gas Logging camps were mainly destroyed, not settlements. Located in a largely countryside area of Washington. Nearest town to the volcano was 35 km. Most settlements were over 50 km away. Small settlements were located over 35 km from volcano zone of total destruction About 250km² of forest was destroyed. Communication and utility services were badly affected. Farm land was affected and lost about 12% of their total crop. Mt. Pinatubo, The Philippines (LEDC) Erupted 1991 Located 100km of Manila, near to the US Clark Air Base and Angeles City. Over lived at the Air Base and people lived in Angeles City. About people lived in small farming villages on Pinatubo’s slopes 700 people died, 184 injured. About 4000km² of forest was affected. Emitted 20 million tonnes of sulphuric dioxide. Communication and utility services were badly affected Over people lost their jobs as a result of the eruption. Dwight Sutherland 2013

HW 3: TASK: Below is a diagram of the Yellowstone super volcano. Answer the questions about it. What is volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of a super volcano? (2 marks) What is a hotspot of a super volcano? (2 marks) What is the caldera of a super volcano? (2 marks) What is a super volcano? (2 marks) Caldera Hot spot (below the earth’s crust) Magma chamber (on top of the hot spot) Super volcano diagram Dwight Sutherland 2013

HW 4: Describe the likely effects of a super volcano eruption (6 marks). Watch the video on Yellowstone below to help you. 10AM 10AM Dwight Sutherland 2013

HW 5: With the help of a diagram(s), explain the formation of young fold mountains. (8 marks) Keywords to use: Anticline Synclines Buckle Rocks on sea bed Dwight Sutherland 2013

HW 6: Study Figure 1 on the insert (see below), photographs of how people use fold mountains. Describe how people are using fold mountains in the photographs. (6 marks) Figure 1 Cingino dam in the Italian Alps Dwight Sutherland 2013

HW 7: Fold mountain areas suffer from limited communications, steep slopes and poor soils. Describe how people have coped with one or more of these problems. (4 marks) Dwight Sutherland 2013

Richter Scale Richter scale measures the strength of the earthquake. TASK: Outline how the Richter scale is used to measure earthquakes. (3 marks) Dwight Sutherland 2013

TASK: Use the mercalli scale below to give a rating for the earthquakes shown in each image below. Give reasons for your answer. (3 marks for each picture) Mercalli scale measures how the earthquake feels to humans. Dwight Sutherland 2013

Describe how the effects of an earthquake in a richer area of the world are different from the effects of an earthquake in a poorer area of the world. (6 marks) Dwight Sutherland 2013

TASK: Label step by step on the diagram how the Japan tsunami was formed. Label your steps 1, 2, 3 etc. Use the statements below to help you. The earthquake causes one side of the ocean floor is pushed upwards above the other side. The heavier Pacific Plate sinks below the Eurasian plate. As the ocean floor pushes upward it forces up the ocean/sea forming large waves which is a tsunami. The Eurasian plate and the Pacific plate collides. Where the Pacific plate sinks beneath the Eurasian plate an earthquake happens. Dwight Sutherland 2013
