In this unit pupils learn about the patterns and processes associated with tectonic activity. They are encouraged to use the internet to research the occurrence of tectonic events and the impact of these processes in countries at different states of economic development.
The unit offers a more analytical approach to the theme than is suggested in unit 2 'The restless earth' (carried out in year 7) and builds on unit 8H 'The rock cycle' in the science scheme of work. It is therefore more suitable for pupils in year 9.
This unit is expected to take 12-20 hours.
