Presentation transcript:

LO. To be able to describe and explain the distribution of tectonic hazards.

Hazard Natural hazard Naturally occurring event that has the potential to affect people, lives or property 1.Climatic hazard Short term weather event that is a threat to life and property 2. Tectonic Hazard Events caused by the movement of Tectonic plates (colliding, moving against each other or moving apart)

So what hazards will we study…? tropical storms e.g. hurricanes/cyclones volcanoes earthquakes drought

Quakes! Where do they happen? 1. Where have the most recent earthquakes occurred? 2. In April 2012 what was the highest magnitude earthquake and where did it occur? 3. Out of the most recent earthquake which one was closest to the UK? Use the ipads to browse the ‘Quakes’ app.

A map to show the distribution of active volcanoes.

A map to show the distribution of earthquakes.

Where are the most hazardous areas in the world? Look at the maps showing the global distribution of: volcanoes earthquakes describe 1. For each map describe the patterns they show. *make sure you reference locations using place names! explain 2. Can you think of any reasons to explain the distribution of these hazards? patterns Extension: Can you identify any patterns between each of the maps?

FLOODS Some natural hazards occur all over the world, for example FLOODS caused by heavy rainfall. Others are related to certain geological patterns or climatic conditions and are concentrated in certain areas. Where are the most hazardous areas in the world?

Volcanic Eruptions & Earthquakes Caused by movements beneath the Earth’s Surface. Plates meet at boundaries or margins and it is in narrow belts along these boundaries where the major centres of volcanic and earthquake activity occurs.
