| Key Idea 2.2 ii - The Hazards connected with Volcanoes | ||
| | Back | | ||
| The hazards associated with plate tectonics are many and varied and students should gain an understanding of how they are linked to tectonic process. The hazards produced can be seen to be primary and secondary but it is recognised that the boundary between the two can be blurred. A knowledge and understanding of the major hazards associated with earthquakes and/or volcanoes should be obtained by students such as ground shaking, liquefaction, tsunami, land slides, lava flows, ash fall, pyroclastic flows and lahars together with secondary hazards such as mud slides. This is not an exhaustive list and the use of exemplar material may touch on others. | ||
