Structure of the Earth
• The Earth is made up of 3 main layers:– Core– Mantle– Crust
Inner core
Outer core

What are earthquakes and where do they occur?
Earthquakes are vibrations caused by movements at plate margins and at fault lines (cracks in the earth’s surface).
They can occur at all 4 major plate boundaries but the most severe earthquakes are normally found at CONSERVATIVE and DESTRUCTIVE plate margins.
CONSERVATIVE
DESTRUCTIVE

Why do earthquakes happen?
![Page 7: Year 9 Revision May 2015. RESTLESS EARTH Structure of the Earth The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: – Core – Mantle – Crust Inner core Outer core.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dbd5503460f94aafb22/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How can we measure earthquakes?
The largest earthquake ever recorded was in Chile. It measured 8.9 on the Richter Scale.
This measures the magnitude of a tremor (how powerful it is) using an instrument called a seismograph.
On the Richter Scale, magnitude is expressed in whole numbers and fractions.
It is a logarithmic scale which means that a size ‘6’ on the Richter Scale is 10 times larger than a size ’5’ and 100 times larger than a size ‘4’.

Mercalli Scale
This measures how much damage is caused by the earthquake based on observations. It is measured on a scale between I and XII.

predict plan protect
1. predict
water levels can rise in wells and lakes because of cracks in the rock
foreshocks before the main quake can be detected by a seismometer
animals can act strangely before the earthquake
a tiltmeter can check any movement within the rocks
How can we limit earthquake damage?

2. plan
What should people pack in their emergency kit?
make an emergency plan
organize regular ‘earthquake practices’ for offices and schools
advise people to plan for an earthquake (eg tell them to turn off the gas, find a ‘safe’ place in their homes, pack an emergency kit)
enforce regulations to make some buildings earthquake proof
Design a poster reminding people what to do in an earthquake.
How can we limit earthquake damage?

VOLCANOES
![Page 16: Year 9 Revision May 2015. RESTLESS EARTH Structure of the Earth The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: – Core – Mantle – Crust Inner core Outer core.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dbd5503460f94aafb22/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
At destructive plate boundaries the lava is viscous (thick like treacle) and it cannot flow very far from the volcano’s vent. This makes the volcano steep sided.
At constructive plate boundaries the lava is runny and it can flow far away from the volcano’s vent. This makes the volcano gentle sided.
![Page 17: Year 9 Revision May 2015. RESTLESS EARTH Structure of the Earth The Earth is made up of 3 main layers: – Core – Mantle – Crust Inner core Outer core.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042615/56649dbd5503460f94aafb22/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Active volcano – liable to erupt e.g. Mt Etna.
Dormant (sleeping) volcano – a volcano which has not erupted for many years. For example, Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991 after 500 years of dormancy.
Extinct volcano – a volcano which has not erupted for many thousands or millions of years e.g. Edinburgh.
However, it is often very difficult to tell whether a volcano will erupt again…El Chichon, Mexico erupted in 1982 after being dormant for approximately 1200 years!
Do all volcanoes erupt?

This lava is weathered (broken down) to form a fertile soil,
Tourists are attracted to areas of volcanic activity.
Geothermal energy (heat from the earth) can be produced in many volcanic areas.
Can you think of any other reasons?
Why do people live in volcanic areas?

Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans on the morning of the 29th August 2005 bringing with it terrible destruction.
Winds of over 250 kilometres per hour were recorded as Katrina hit the coast, causing a storm surge8.5 metres high. New Orleans

80% of the city was flooded and over a million homes were left without electricity.Over 1,800 deaths werecaused by the storm, around700 of them in New Orleans.
In some areas the flood level rose to over six metres. Thosethat had decided to stay in theirhomes had to either find highground and await rescue or risk swimming and wadingthrough polluted floodwater.

New airports are built.
The local government has to find new water supplies due to the increased demand.
Rare species are no longer found in the area.
People move to the area to work in the construction industry.
The sea becomes too polluted to be used for swimming.
It is difficult to get to your hotel from the airport due to poor quality roads.
Match the descriptions to the stages.
The bars and clubs stay open until 4am.
Some souvenir shops start to close down.
