Kashmir Earthquake 2005Learning objectivesAll to know cause, effect, response for the Kashmir quakeMost to be able to include specific detail on the case studySome to evaluate how development status influenced the earthquake

Starter – Tectonics bingo! 1. Place the twenty phrases anywhere you like – I’ll read out the clues – prizes for horizontal line & vertical lines. 2. Highlight any words you did not know – read up on their definitions from the vocabulary sheet – then stick both into your books.

Kashmir Earthquake case study

• You have the following resources:– Textbook resources (find them yourselves!)– Youtube documentary (make notes!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3ieusxKQ_w– Kashmir fact file – word document

• Task – Create detailed notes in one of these formats:– Surrounded map– Mind map– Extended writing– Talking heads

To cover the points on the next slide

40 Minutes to complete this folks!

Case study key pointsWhen did it

happen? Where in the world?

Draw me a map! Any long term

consequences?

Injured / homeless figures? How many

people killed?

What were the immediate

effects?

How did the country

respond?

How did the world

respond?

Envt, social , economic impacts

Did development

status matter?

Demonstrate learningYou have TEN minutes to condense your case study knowledge onto the case study card, and then stick this into your book after your notes.

Reducing the impacts of Earthquakes

• Starter – An earthquake is happening NOW – get to the safest

point in the room NOW• How did you choose this spot?• So lets now think about how we can:

– Plan– Prepare – ProtectFor earthquakes

• Task 1 – Watch the youtube video on safe building design - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZoHoPFHAtw

Planning for earthquakes • Label the image of the LA Emergency Op Centre with

it’s features (some were not mentioned!)

Planning for Earthquakes

• So....it’s time to go shopping. • We ALL love writing lists – your task is to write

one which lists all the things you would keep in your BOB (Bug Out Bag), in case of an earthquake.

Reducing earthquake impacts• Create a mind map to detail the varying ways in which people

can help reduce the impacts of quakes – plan, prepare, protect.

• Extension – how does development state affect the severity of earthquake impacts?

Homework

• Flipped learning! Go to the department blog and watch the videos on the Northridge 1994 Earthquake – the MEDC tectonic case study.

• You are also highly advised to do further reading, make extra notes, before next lesson.

• BE AWARE – next lesson will start with questions/activities based on this case study, with NO input from me – you will need to know the details of this earthquake.
