Plate tectonics

You will need to know the follow:

The location and characteristics of tectonic activity

□ The global distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes

□ The reason why earthquakes and volcanoes are only found in certain areas, and the role of plate

boundaries in explaining this

□ How to draw a cross section of the main plate boundaries – convergent, divergent and

conservative

□ How we measure earthquake activity

□ How we locate the epicentre of earthquakes

Why people live in areas of tectonic activity

□ The economic, social and environmental reasons why people live in areas of tectonic activity

□ Examples that help us understand these reasons

The impacts of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

□ One case study of either an earthquake or a volcanic eruption showing the causes and

consequences of that event on the people and the environment

□ Some examples of how planning helps reduce the impact of both earthquakes and volcanic activity

A tourist’s world

You will need to know the following:

Growth of the tourist industry

□ How tourism has developed over time (as in the Butler model)

□ A case study of an EU resort that has changed and developed over time

The effects of the growth of tourism

□ The social, economic and environmental effects of tourist growth

□ How these effects can be both positive and negative

□ How these effects can be economic and environmental

□ A range of these impacts drawn from both LICs and HICs

Eco-tourism

benefit the local community
