MANAGEMENT CAN REDUCE THE
EFFECTS OF TECTONIC
HAZARDS.
WHY DO PEOPLE LIVE IN TECTONIC AREAS AND
HOW ARE THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS BEING
MANAGED?
WHY DO PEOPLE LIVE IN
TECTONIC AREAS?
IN PAIRS DISCUSS:
Which area of the world has the highest number of
people potentially affected by tectonic activity?
Why may some of these areas have higher death
tolls caused by tectonic activity than other areas?
PLATE BOUNDARIES, VOLCANOES
AND EARTHQUAKES.

TECTONIC HAZARDS AND
LOCATIONS
Sort your
cards out and
place them onto
the appropriate
part of the
pyramid.
These 4 are spare for you to add your own
reasons.
Using a ruler and pencil, draw this
table neatly into your book.
(3/4 of a page)
Write your reasons
in and add any of
your own.
Use the fact sheet
to fill in the
locations.
EXAM PRACTICE
• Explain why people still continue to live in areas of tectonic activity. (4 marks)

PREDICTION PROTECTION AND
PLANNING CAN REDUCE THE

WHAT WOULD YOU PUT IN YOUR
EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY KIT? WHY?
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE IN NEPAL AND
NEW ZEALAND?
Nepal
New Zealand
Management and co ordination of open spaces
Introduced strict building regulations so buildings can
withstand earthquakes.
Go bags – survival kits
Old buildings have bee retrofitted.
Red cross have set up warehouses with pre
positioned supplies.
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA)
Community training for volunteers and
earthquakes drills.
EXAM PRACTICE-EVALUATE THE
STRATEGIES USED TO MANAGE
EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES (6).
• The three p’s are used to try to reduce the impacts of earthquakes and volcanoes. Earthquake
warning systems can be used to detect earthquakes but only after an earthquake has begun
which will not give enough time for people to prepare and evacuate. As a result this system is
Model
not effective however the data from these systems can be used to try and predict when the
answer….
next earthquake will happen. Tiltmeters can be used to detect any changes in the earth’s crust
which normally happen before a volcanic eruption. This allows people time to close up their
homes and evacuate. Buildings can be designed to with stand earthquakes, this is called
retrofitting. This can be successful but only normally happens in MEDC’s where there is the
money available to buy these materials or reinforce older buildings…………
