What are the primary and secondary effects of earthquakes?
What are the primary and secondary effects of volcanic eruptions?
How might the effects of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes vary between an LEDC and an MEDC? Use
examples to explain your answer.
What are the causes of earthquakes? (ie how and why do they happen?)
What are the causes of volcanic eruptions? (ie how and why do they happen?)
Where do earthquakes and volcanoes occur?
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur along plate boundaries?
Explain the 4 different types of plate boundary. Make sure you can create a diagram of each (include
constructive, destructive, conservative, collisions).
Why do people live in areas at risk from earthquakes and volcanoes?
What are some of the advantages of living in an area which is at risk of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
(include geothermal energy, tourism and fertile soils as a starting point)?
Explain why some people choose to stay in, or are unable to move away from an area at risk from earthquakes
and volcanic eruptions (use case study examples to back you up).
Describe the range of ways in which the damaging effects of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can be
reduced.
Why do LEDC’s and MEDC’s use different strategies to reduce the effects of earthquakes and volcanoes? What
different strategies do they use?
What can be done in the short term (over a short space of time) to respond to an earthquake or volcano?
What can be done in the long term (over a short space of time) to respond to an earthquake or volcano?
What can be done to predict and prepare for earthquakes and volcanoes?
Why can some countries be better prepared than others?
