1. Natural Hazards<br />Student’s nameClassDate<br />Now I’ve reached the end of the natural hazard unit:YesThink soNoI can describe the global distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes and give reasons for this pattern of distribution.I can draw and label the structure of the earth. I can explain how this is important in explaining why earthquakes and volcanoes occur.I can draw the different plate boundary’s and label the features of them. Constructive, destructive and conservative. I can explain what happens at each type of boundary, divergent, convergent and conservative/transform I can give reasons why volcanoes occur at particular boundaries only I can give examples of economic, environmental and social impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes. I can give examples of primary and secondary impacts of earthquakes I can name an earthquake in an LEDC and MEDC and describe the impacts and the responses. E.g. Haiti and Japan 2011I can name a volcano in a MEDC and describe the impacts and responses. E.g. Iceland 2011 and MontserratI can explain how the impact of natural hazards can be reduced e.g. technology, building techniques, education, prediction, evacuation planning, aid etcI can describe and explain the global distribution of tropical cyclones and droughts.I can explain why tropical cyclones occur in the areas they doI can explain the climatic conditions that cause tropical cyclonesI can give examples of economic, environmental and social impacts of tropical cyclonesI can name a MEDC case study of a tropical storm and its causes, impacts and responses e.g. Hurricane Katrina I can name a LEDC case study of a tropical storm and give its causes, impacts and responses e.g. Bangladesh 1991 OR Burma/Myanmar 2008I can give reasons for the differences in impacts between LEDC and MEDCI can explain the climate causes of droughtsI can explain the social, economic and environmental impacts of droughtsI can name a MEDC drought case study with causes, impacts and responses e.g. USAI can name a LEDC drought case study with causes, impacts and responses e.g. The SahelI can explain why economic development can influence the severity of the impact of a hazardI can explain why people choose to continue to live in hazardous areas <br />I can explain what these terms mean:<br />Natural hazard Epicentre Eye Infrastructure Mantle Tectonic plate <br /> <br />Mid Ocean Ridge Tsunami Levees Drought Storm surge Subduction zone <br />
