My objective is: To study the location and characteristics of tectonic activity I  Can describe the global distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes.  Understand how the movement of plates leads to earthquakes and volcanic action.  Know the characteristic features found at plate boundaries  Recognise the different ways that earthquakes can be measured  Understand the reasons why people continue to live in active tectonic zones  Know the causes and effects of a named volcanic eruption or earthquake  Recognise the different ways that volcanic activity and earthquakes can be predicted and prevented.
