Clues

  • Constructive= pull away from each other, forms land, causes earthquakes Destructive= moving towards each other and one gets sucked under, forms volcanoes or mountains & earthquakes Constructive= move alongside each other at different speeds, causes earthq (5, 10)
  • If an earthquake lifts or drops part of the ocean floor, the water above rises and starts spreading across the ocean, causing a tsunami. Underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions can also displace water (cause water to spread across the ocean) and may l (7)
  • LICs (low income countries) often suffer more than HICs (high income countries) because: • People may not be well educated about what to do in the event of an earthquake. • Construction standards tend to be poor so homes and other buildings may suffer ser (9, 11)
  • Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy near Naples, is the only active volcano on mainland Europe. It is best known because of the eruption in A.D. 79 that destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, but Vesuvius has erupted more than 50 times. (2, 8)
  • People live near tectonic hazards for many reasons: • Fertile soil and so the opportunity for agriculture (farming) • Generate electricity from geothermal energy • Tourism associated with volcanic activity • Mineral extraction (mining) • Great climate or (3, 4, 5)
  • Underground center= hypocentre Above ground center= epicentre (11)
  • What comes out: Ash clouds, volcanic bombs, pyroclastic flow, lava flow Inside: Magma chamber (very bottom), main vent (all the way to crater at top), side vents (branching off main vent, lava comes out the sides of the volcano from these vents) (9)
