Identify a secondary effect of the Nepal earthquake
7000 schools were destroyed
19 people died in an avalanche on Mount Everest
9000 people died
50% of shops were destroyed
In Nepal, landslides blocked rivers and roads so rescue was difficult. What is this an example of?
Primary effect
Secondary effect
Immediate response
Long-term response
Which of the following is a secondary effect of the Chile quake?
The town of Constitucion was destroyed by 15m high Tsunami waves
4500 schools were destroyed
Santiago airport was badly damaged by the quake
The National appeal raised $60 Million. Enough to build 30,000 emergency homes
An immediate response to the Nepal quake was......
Mount Everest reopened for tourists. This brought in vital money to Nepal
7000 schools were rebuilt so education could happen.
Search and rescue teams came in from other countries with specialist gear to look for people trapped in rubble
Nepal brought in stricter building codes so there would be less earthquake damage in the future
Why were the effects of the Chile quake 2010 much less than those of Nepal 2015?
Nepal had a larger quake than Chile.
This meant that there was more damage.
Chile is a very poor country compared to Nepal. This meant that it had much less stuff to lose.
Chile is south of the equator compared to Nepal. This meant that the climate here was easier to survive in.
Chile is a richer country so was more prepared. This meant it could act quickly to reduce any loss.
Convection Currents occur in the
Inner Core
Mantle
Crust
Outer Core
What are the pieces of the Earth's crust called?
Rocks
Plates
Puzzle Pieces
Continents
A boundary between two plates that are moving apart is called?
Constructive
Destructive
Conservative
A boundary between two plates that are sliding past each other is called?
Destructive
Constructive
Conservative
What causes the plates to move?
Convection Currents
Sea Floor Spreading
Continental Drift
The theory that describes the formation, movements, and interactions of these plates is called?
The Crust
Volcanoes
Plate Tectonics
Rift Valley
What layer is the thickest of Earths layers?
Outer Core
Mantle
Crust
Inner core
Which type of boundary creates mountains
Continental vs Continental
Continental vs Oceanic
Oceanic vs Oceanic
What is happening in this image?
Subduction
Sea Floor Spreading
Rift Valley
Trench
When an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate, the oceanic plate is usually subducted because
continental plates move faster than oceanic plates
oceanic crust is denser and thinner than continental crust
oceanic crust is denser and thicker than continental crust
continental crust is denser and thinner than oceanic crust
A block of lithosphere that consists of the crust and the rigid, outermost part of the mantle.
tectonic plate
continent
crust
mantle
The diagram below shows a model of the movement of two tectonic plates. When the plates collide, one plate often moves below the outer plate. The rising magma that can result from this type pf plate movement may produce.
fossil layers
volcanic islands
deep-sea sediment
seafloor spreading
Which volcano is low and wide?
Composite
Shield
Cinder Cone
Snow cone
Which type of volcano is tall and explosive?
Shield
Cinder Cone
Ice Cream Cone
Composite Cone
Which crust subducts because it is denser than other crust?
pizza crust
oceanic crust
continental crust
new crust
A fracture in earth's crust is a
tsunami
fault
Ring of Fire
epicenter
Earth's outer crust is divided into several...
sections
plates
categories
boxes
