Unit Plan 2nd draft

Unit Plan Draft – Razinah & Sandhia

Unit Summary:
1) Basic understanding of plate tectonics:
a. the global distribution of plates
b. fold mountain, volcanoes and earthquakes

2) The general processes leading to the formation of
a. fold mountains
b. rift valleys
c. block mountains
d. volcanoes
e. earthquakes

3) Describe and explain the impacts of earthquakes and their outcomes on human activities


Learning Outcomes:

Pupils will be able to
i. understand the relevance of plate tectonics in influencing general distributions of earthquakes, volcanoes and fold mountains.
ii. develop basic skills to identify different zones of volatility associated with plate margins
iii. describe and explain the impacts of volcanoes and earthquakes on human activities

Enduring Understanding
1) Major landforms, volcanoes and earthquakes are a result of plate movements.
2) Volcanoes and earthquakes have both positive and negative effects on human activities.

Essential Questions
1) How do plate boundaries affect the formation of major landforms?
2) Consequently how do plate movements result in earthquakes?
3) What are the impacts of volcanoes and earthquakes on human activities?
