In this unit we will be exploring the causes, impacts and management of tectonic hazards.
This includes earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunami.
There are 8 lessons in this unit with an end of unit exam at the end.
You can find important keywords, supporting information for each lesson and instructions for the homework in this section.

Homework 1:
There are many ways we can measure the magnitude of an earthquake, you may have already heard of the Richter scale.
In this activity you will learn about the levels of magnitude in the Mercalli scale. Cut out and re-order the images to show how the magnitude increases in this scale. You can download a copy of the sheet if you need to below.

Homework 2:
Using the table below as a template, re-read the case studies of earthquake events in Tohoku (developed country) and Haiti (developing country). Complete each section of the table to produce a useful summary for revision.
