Plate tectonics You will need to know the follow: The location and characteristics of tectonic activity The global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes The reason why earthquakes and volcanoes are only found in certain areas, and the role of plate boundaries in explaining this How to draw a cross section of the main plate boundaries convergent, divergent and conservative How we measure earthquake activity How we locate the epicentre of earthquakes Why people live in areas of tectonic activity The economic, social and environmental reasons why people live in areas of tectonic activity Examples that help us understand these reasons The impacts of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions One case study of either an earthquake or a volcanic eruption showing the causes and consequences of that event on the people and the environment Some examples of how planning helps reduce the impact of both earthquakes and volcanic activity 3
