How can I help the local/global community with possible future natural disasters?
Link to Teacher Page

Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Volcanoes all have something in common - they are all affected by shifts in the Earths' tectonic plates.

Over the next few lessons we will learn about each in detail.

Start with the 'Tectonic Plates' page to the left.

You are encouraged to complete further investigations, and talk with friends and family about earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes and tectonic plates. Look in the news for incidences of these extreme weather events.

This interactive game is an extension activity that you can choose to complete in your own time. The aim of this game is to prepare a village for an upcoming natural disaster. Select the earthquake or tsunami option. @http://www.stopdisastersgame.org/en/home.html



The site provided below explains how scientists use our knowledge of tectonic plate movement to predict and detect possible natural disasters. @http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/Activities/earthquake.html
