Think of one example
of a “Command
Word”
What is a “Key word” and why are they important?
Peer Assessment
• I can review my progress and use this
to develop my work.
We are learning to understand how
climate has changed in the recent past.
What I’m looking for is a labelled graph
and description of temperature change.
1(a). Crust, Mantle, Outer core, Inner core.
3 marks
(b) The Mantle moves because it is hot so the
Tectonics Plate above move. 1 mark
The convection currents in the Mantle, powered
by the heat from the Core, mean that the
Tectonic Plates of the Earth’s crust will move.
2 marks
c. 1-2 marks: Brief explanation of one plate
sinking beneath another plate. This leads to
friction and earthquakes are produced.
3-4 marks: Detailed explanation of denser
Oceanic plate sinking beneath the Continental
plate. Creates friction and sudden movement
releases energy which is felt as an earthquake.
Could give a location or example e.g. South
America and the Nazca Plate.
2 (a). 1 mark for pointing out that they are mostly
found on plate boundaries.
2 marks for describing that most are found around
the pacific plate or that there is an unusual
volcano location in the middle of the Pacific plate.
(b) 1 mark each up to 2 marks for:
Steep sided
Made of alternate layers of ash and lava
Andesitic or sticky lava
Explosive eruptions
(c) 1 – 2 marks Brief explanation about two plates
moving apart and lava escaping and cooling to
form a volcano.
3 – 4 marks Detailed explanation of Oceanic plate
moving apart which allows Magma to move
through cracks or fissures onto the Earth’s surface
where, as lava it cools and creates dome shaped
shallow sloped volcano. Could name a place or
example e.g. Mid-Atlantic ridge.
3 (a) Landslide
Building collapsed
Walls collapsed
Roof collapsed
(b) Built on a slope
Built in an LEDC so might have poor construction.
(c) 1- 2 marks Brief statements of different
strategies e.g. improve building design, provide
emergency aid such as food and water. Little or
no explanation. Possible reference to an
example.
3-4 marks Makes reference to LEDCs and the
impact this has on effects of earthquakes.
Links possible strategies to the problems they
solve. e,.g. Tents would be provided for the
people made homeless due to buildings
collapsing. Explanation of the need for both short
term and long term aid. Good use of case study
such as Bam.
Keeping on track...
• Find the evaluation sheet (yellow) you
completed as part of the revision for this
unit. Add the grade you achieved to
this sheet and file away all of your
Restless Earth notes.
• In the blue page on your planner add
the grade you achieved for the end of
unit test. Were you near your target
grade?
