STARTER

Prediction and Prevention of the

effects of volcanoes and earthquakes

To know the range of specialist details

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

EFFECTIVE

PARTICIPATOR To work in partnership to research and understand more information.

1) To know the basics of predicting and preventing (Grade C)

2) To be able to develop the basics into those appropriate for volcano / earthquake and to categorise preventions into Education / Building Design / Defence. (Grade B)

3) To be able to increase depth with a range of specific examples (Grade A-A*)

LEARNING OUTCOMES

To know the basics of predicting and preventing (Grade C)LEARNING

OUTCOME 1

Task 1: what changes might there be before a volcano /

earthquake? What could we monitor?

How could the changes be identified or recorded?

Task 2: if we have no option but to live in a

tectonic zone how could we limit the damage from an

earthquake at work or home and how could we defend ourselves

from a volcanic eruption?

LEARNING

OUTCOME 2To be able to develop the basics into those appropriate for volcano / earthquake and to categorise preventions into Education / Building Design / Defence. (Grade B)

Despite sophisticated monitoring equipment it remains very difficult to pinpoint exactly when a volcanic eruption or an earthquake will occur.

Education focusses around: 1) design the rules for a monthly Earthquake Drill in a Japanese School. 2) Planning ahead: what could we check for in the home? What could we identify? What would be our communication plan? 3) what things could we teach to have in your Disaster Kit? DICES

Building Design: How could we modify a building in order to prevent the effects of 1) shockwaves through the ground 2) tall

buildings toppling over 3) glass windows breaking 4) tall buildings swaying.

Defences: How could we disrupt a lava flow? How could we deflect a lava flow? How could we stop a lava flow?

LEARNING

OUTCOME 2To be able to develop the basics into those appropriate for volcano / earthquake and to categorise preventions into Education / Building Design / Defence. (Grade B)

There are three main ways in which to prevent (limit) the effects of a volcano or

earthquake.As ______ nears the surface of a volcano its pressure

__________ and _____ escapes. _______ dioxide concentration can give an indication of an eruption.

______ from rising magma deforms the volcano and the ground changes _______. GPS satellites and

tiltmeters track the changes.

Why could a seismometers be useful for predicting a volcano or an earthquake?

LEARNING

OUTCOME 3To be able to increase depth with a

range of specific examples(Grade A-A*)

For each different type of prediction and prevention you should research on the web and use page 120-122 to link them to a range of specific examples. Also annotate the diagram on page

121.

PLENARY Time for two exam questions followed by

peer marking.
