Assessment task Knowing and understanding Activity 1 1.1 1.2 The most volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur around plate boundaries. Activity 2 2.1.1 Divergent boundary 2.1.2 Convergent boundary 2.1.3 Transform boundary 2.2.2 Divergent boundary Divergent boundaries cause oceanic ridges‚ valleys and lakes. Divergent boundaries can cause volcanic eruptions. Location: Basalt in (Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ East-African Rift). Convergent boundary Leads to trenches

The Geological and Biological Origins of New Zealand Introduction New Zealand has a unique landscape with many animals and plants that are native only to itself. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the geological history of the formation‚ as well as the biological origins‚ of New Zealand. It will also discuss how the major land-forming processes of volcanism‚ glaciation and tectonic plates have shaped the country and defined it’s native flora and fauna. Eighty-five million years ago the

Volcanic Hazards VOLCANOES INTRODUCTION Few things excite the imagination as much as a volcanic eruption‚ one of nature’s magnificent spectacles‚ which can result in devastating consequences. The very word “volcano” brings to mind thunderous explosions‚ rivers of fiery orange lava‚ and images of smoking destruction. The actual capacity for destruction is not overrated -- volcanic eruptions are one of the most devastating of all geologic hazards. There

rock material‚ or magma‚ and gases from the interior of the Earth erupt on to its surface‚ and the landform which is produced as a result of this eruption. The word "volcano" comes from Vulcano‚ one of the volcanic Lipari Islands in the Mediterranean Sea‚ and the place where‚ according to Roman mythology‚ Vulcan‚ the god of fire‚ kept his forge. The processes that creates volcanoes and other volcanic structures are called volcanism or vulcanism. How a volcano is formed A volcano is formed when

years have been fascinated by the spectacle of volcanic eruptions and terrified of their power. Some of these eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in history‚ by wiping out entire towns and killing thousands of people. The word volcano comes from the term Vulcan‚ which was a name the ancient Romans gave their god of fire. Volcanoes played a role in the religious life of some of these people‚ and they believed that god lived beneath a volcanic island off the Italian coast. Powerful forces

FULL SET OF NOTES ON TECHTONICS 2012 AQA GEOGRAPHY FULL SET OF NOTES ON TECHTONICS 2012 AQA GEOGRAPHY TECHTONICS | TOPICS | UNDERSTOOD/COVERED? | PLATE MOVEMENT | | SEISMICITY | | VULCANICITY | | These notes were copied from an AQA textbook. They contain EVERYTHING you need to know for the exam for the tectonics section. You WILL however‚ need to use your own case studies as these are not included. You will need 2 case studies for volcanoes‚ and 2 case studies for earthquakes

The causes of tectonic plate movement and how different processes have shaped New Zealand’s landforms occur nearly every single day. In fact one of these processes is happening right now‚ somewhere on the Earth. The 3 major processes are folding‚ faulting and volcanism. While these take place‚ another “force” is also acting‚ changing the shape of our continents‚ and Earth itself‚ the tectonic plate movement. Earth’s outer shell‚ long thought to be a continuous‚ unbroken‚ crust is actually a fluid

Farm A farm is an area of land‚ or‚ for aquaculture‚ lake‚ river or sea‚ including various structures‚ devoted primarily to the practice of producing and managing food (produce‚ grains‚ or livestock)‚ fibres and‚ increasingly‚ fuel. It is the basic production facility in food production.[1] Farms may be owned and operated by a single individual‚ family‚ community‚ corporation or a company. A farm can be a holding of any size from a fraction of a hectare[2] to several thousand hectares Types

Specific objectives 1. Define crustal plates A crustal plate is a rigid layer of the Earth’s crust that is believed to drift slowly. 2. Name and locate the Caribbean adjacent plates. Plates adjacent to the Caribbean plate are South American plate which is located south of the Caribbean plate‚ North American plate which is located north of the Caribbean plate‚ Nazca plate which is locate west of the Caribbean plate and the Cocoa plate which is located south west of the Caribbean plate. 3.
