This summary specifically focuses on volcanoes and tsunamis, which are important parts of Chapter 9.1 (CIE A-Level Geography 9696) The information in the summary covers all the content the exam board could ask pupils about volcanoes and tsunamis, such as volcanic hazards, hazards associated with volcanic activity, volcanic strength, predicting volcanoes, risk assessment and impacts, managing tsunamis and case study knowledge. I used this summary to study for my A-Level exam which I sat in May an...

One process that occurs only at convergent plate boundaries - Answer- Subduction -Volcanic eruptions produce a number of different hazards, including lava flows, pyroclastic flows and gas eruptions as well as secondary hazards such as lahars and jokulhaups. The main reason volcanic eruptions vary in magnitude is as a result of the type of volcano that is erupting which will produce various hazards to differing degrees. Magnitude is mainly measured by the VEI that measures things such as the v...
