  • Tectonic landscapes and hazards

    • Plate tectonic theory – WJEC

      Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions affect people all over the world. They are caused by the movement of tectonic plates. Tectonic hazards can destroy buildings, infrastructure and cause deaths.

    • Earthquakes and tsunami – WJEC

      Earthquakes are caused by the release of built-up pressure at plate boundaries. They can destroy buildings and infrastructure. Tsunami can also occur, with equally devastating and deadly effects.

    • Volcanoes – WJEC

      Composite and shield volcanoes are found along plate boundaries. They have distinctive characteristics and can have both positive and negative effects on people and the landscape.

    • Reducing the impacts of natural hazards – WJEC

      Natural hazards create many dangerous scenarios for people and environments. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunami are a constant threat. Reducing this threat is crucial.
