Big Picture: What were the causes and effects of the 2010 Icelandic
eruption? Lesson 1 of 2
• Be able to identify the causes of the eruption of the Icelandic volcano.
• Analyse these impacts to say whether they are primary or secondary effects.
• Interpret these impacts to decide which are most responsible for the aftermath.

16th April 2010 Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland erupts…
The Ash cloud
The Ash cloud

Now, answer the questions: • What direction has the ash cloud travelled in (north, east, south,
west?) • What countries do you think will be impacted the most by this? • How fast do you think the dust cloud is travelling?
– 10 km per hour? 100km per hour? 1000km per hour?

Activate: What is the difference between primary and secondary impacts?
• Primary: Impacts that happens during or immediately after the event has happened. E.g. there is an ash cloud.
• Secondary: Impacts that happen because of the primary impacts. They happen after the event has happened. E.g the ash cloud causes aeroplanes to stop running.
Please write these important definitions down.
Extension: Which of the events on your connection activity are primary? Which are secondary? Make a key to code them.
Demonstrate: Today’s task
• You will analyse newspaper articles taken from the event.
• Complete the mind map: – 1. Background information: When did it happen? Where
did it happen? What caused the eruption? – 2. Primary Impacts: What impacts happened straight
after the event? – 3. Secondary Impacts: What impacts happened because
of the event? Who did it effect? How did it effect them?
Next lesson you will write a GCSE practise question using this information so the more detail you can add the
better!

Reflect: What were the causes and effects of the 2010 Icelandic
eruption?
Challenge!
In no more than 30 words can you now answer the lesson objective?
Closest to 30 words exactly = 1 merit!
Homework:
• Research homework using ICT:
• Expand on your mind map by finding out further primary and secondary impacts.
In for next lesson.
Lesson Focus: How destructive was the 2010 Icelandic eruption?
Lesson 2 of 2
• Be able to rank the primary and secondary impacts in order of severity.
• Understand how you could be assessed in an exam on this case study.
• Interpret these impacts to confidently answer a GCSE practise question.
Recap of key terms
• Primary: Impacts that happens during or immediately after the event has happened. E.g. there is an ash cloud.
• Secondary: Impacts that happen because of the primary impacts. They happen after the event has happened. E.g the ash cloud causes aeroplanes to stop running.
Connect: These twitter accounts all describe peoples reactions to the primary and secondary impacts of the eruption.
Classify which you think are primary (p) and which you think are
secondary (s)

Activate: Are some impacts more destructive than others?
The research you collected last lesson has been summarised in table 1 on your worksheet.
Task 1:
Where would you place these on your diamond ranking template?
Task 2: Colour code the primary impacts and secondary impacts by colouring them in to show which type of impacts are most destructive.
Extension:
Explain why you ranked the impacts in this way.
Demonstrate: How could I be assessed on this case study in an
exam? Potential Exam question (you will be answering
this for homework so its very important you understand this!!)
With reference to a named example explain whether primary or
secondary impacts of volcanic eruptions are more destructive?
(14 marks)
How can I get the best result possible for this question?
Follow the GCSE support sheet…
Explanation= most marks! So how would you rate this answer?
How would you rate this answer?
I think that secondary impacts are the most destructive because they had a lot more effects than primary impacts. For example the volcanic eruption in Iceland meant that all flights were suspended, lots of businesses lost out on money and people were stuck abroad.
How would you rate this answer?
I think that secondary impacts are the most destructive because they had a lot more social, economical and environmental effects than primary impacts. For example the huge ash cloud that was produced from the Icelandic eruption from meant that all flights were suspended until further notice. This meant that many people couldn’t go on holiday causing millions of pounds lost in tourism. One example of this is illustrated in poor countries (LEDCs) such as Kenya. Kenya doesn’t only depend on tourism such as safaris for its main line of income but also depends on being able to export goods such as flowers to other countries. The suspended flights meant that they couldn’t do this, costing the flower 6-7 shillings per day on losses.
• Use the mark scheme to help you know how much you should be writing for each section.
• Use the key geographical terms we have learnt in your answer.
• Use the writing frame to support you if you need.
• Aim for your personal best. You will now what grade you got on our last practise so try to improve on this.
