Additional Info
Assess how impacts of volcanic eruptions can affect place identity (12 marks)

Remember the model structure:

  • Introduction to define key terms
  • 3-4 paragraphs, each centred around a different synoptic point, in the main body of the essay
  • Short (couple of sentences) conclusion
There should be location-specific detail for AO1, and consider the following angles as possible AO2 opportunities (don't necessarily need them all)...

  • Does impact vary on temporal scale (i.e. short term v long term)
  • Does it vary on spatial scale (i.e. is it different in different countries - e.g. countries at different levels of development)
  • Does it vary on spatial scale (i.e. is it different on a local scale close to volcano compared to regionally/nationally/globally)
  • Does it vary depending on type of eruption?
The powerpoint slides will help you, although you don't need to be restricted to them.
