How will these resources help you?

Comparing earthquakes in different contexts enables geographers to consider the causes, impacts and responses of these hazard events, evaluating the importance of factors ranging from the geology of the area to human aspects such as relative affluence and preparedness. The 2010 Chile and 2015 Nepal earthquakes are ideal case studies for this kind of comparison, with very different physical locations and levels of development. These resources will enable teachers and older students to learn much more about these earthquakes than the summaries we often see in textbooks, allowing them to analyse and evaluate impacts and responses from an informed perspective.
