Primary effects
Secondary effects
What were the responses to the earthquake?
Immediate responses
Long‐term responses
How wealthy is Chile?
Evidence of wealth
Example – Nepal Earthquake in a LIC
When and where did the earthquake take place?
What effect did the earthquake have?
Primary effects
Secondary effects
What were the responses to the earthquake?
Immediate responses
Long‐term responses
How wealthy is Nepal?
Evidence of wealth
Example Question 1Explain why volcanoes are formed at destructive plate boundaries (4 marks
Example Question 2Choose either a volcanic eruption or earthquake.Evaluate the success of responses to this tectonic hazard in two areas with contrasting levels of wealth (9 marks + 3 SPaG)
Weather Hazards
Example – Typhoon Haiyan A Tropical Storm
When and where did the tropical storm take place?
What effect did the tropical storm have?
Primary effects
Secondary effects
What were the responses to the tropical storm?
Immediate responses
Long‐term responses
How strong were the winds?
What is a storm surge?
Example – Somerset Levels Floods An Extreme Weather Event in the UK
When and where did the flood take place?
What impact did the flood have?
Social impacts
Economic impacts
Environmental impacts
What were the responses to the flood?
Immediate responses
What was done to ensure that the flood doesn’t happen again?
What caused the flood?
Example Question 1Explain how climate change might affect the frequency and intensity of tropical storms (6 marks)
Example Question 2Evaluate the success of responses to a tropical storm (9 marks + 3 SPaG)
Climate Change
Example Question 1Explain the natural causes of climate change (6 marks)
Example Question 2Explain how human activity has contributed to climate change (6 marks)
