1. Tsunamis
Mr Anderson says: Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes under the sea. Therefore they are NOT tidal waves. Tsunami is a Japanese word meaning “harbour wave”
The Syllabus says: Tsunamis are a specific secondary effect and can have devastating effects in coastal areas.
This will be studied through a “case study of a tsunami – its cause, effects and responses.”
STARTER, watch this trailer: (see notes) on your whiteboards
1) What do you think happened in the 30 minutes before the clip
2) what happened in the 24 hours after? Challenge: What happened in the next month?
Play trailer till 0:45 then do before after, can use rest of trailer to see if they spot anything they wrote down
The Asian Tsunami of 2004 is also called the Boxing Day Tsunami. It killed over 230,000 people (over 5 times the whole population of Salisbury) It was caused by a 9.1 Earthquake at the boundary of the Indian and Eurasian plates)

2. 30 minutes before
The tsunami
24 hours after
Over the next 6 months

3. The exam board says you need to know A case study of a tsunami – its causes, effects and responses to it.
Now categorise the 20 statements in the envelope into either: Can you finish before the music does?
Description and causes of the tsunami
Effects
Responses
Too easy? Finished? What effects could you add from the trailer?
The whole in my tooth was caused by too many sweets
The effect of this whole was toothache
My response was to get a filling from my dentist
(And to eat less sweets in the future)
Key words??

And only if you have finished ….p. 21 “understanding GCSE Geography”
Key questions at the end of the first task
D/C pupils “Can you describe a social effect of the tsunami? An economic effect, an environmental one? Etc
C/B pupils What knock on effects could one of these effects have?
B/A pupils which of these effects do you think is worse? Which would be awful but only short term? Which do you think might be the most expensive to sort out?

5. By the end of the first task…
(D/C)
To list at least 4 effects and 4 responses to the Asian Tsunami and categorise these into social, environmental and economic
(C/B)
Do C/D and begin to 1) describe the links between short term and long term effects and 2) explain the impacts of the responses to the Asian Tsunami
(B/A)
Do C/B and fully describe how the effects interact to create long term and short term effects. To evaluate the effectiveness of the responses by seeing how they may alter the effects
A* Challenge: does there seem to be one place worse affected than others? Why is this the case?
