Seismic activity and its management

This Geographical Association (Belfast Branch) talk is intended to support the delivery and understanding of CCEA's A2 Geography Specification – Unit 1 (3) Seismic activity and its management: (i) demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the nature of seismic events and their impact − p, s and l waves, seismic shaking, liquefaction and tsunamis; (ii) demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the attempts to predict_seismic_events − seismic gap theory and dilation; and (iii) evaluate how a country prepares for and responds to seismic activity. For (iii) a small scale case study of seismic activity, for example Tohoku (2011)
