slide1. Why do the impacts of earthquakes vary between countries? Learning objectives:
To compare the impacts of the 2023 Türkiye–Syria Earthquake, and consider why the impacts vary between countries<br>
slide2. Starter What caused the 2023 Türkiye–Syria earthquake?
A strike slip fault on a conservative (transform) plate boundary
A constructive plate boundary with plates moving away from each other
A destructive plate boundary with a plate subducting under another
A collision plate boundary with two continental plates moving towards each other
Which of the following can be primary impacts of an earthquake?
Buildings collapsing
Flooding caused by a collapsed dam
Looting (stealing)

slide4. The epicentre The epicentre of the earthquake is the point on the Earth’s surface directly above where energy is released (the focus).
The shaking of the earthquake is greatest the closer to the epicentre you are.
Task
Use this information and the map on the back page of Wideworld 35.1 to predict which locations felt the greatest shaking and explain why.
Use the answer below to check and correct your work:
The first earthquake had a magnitude of 7.8. The epicentre was in southern Türkiye, west of the city of Gaziantep. It was also very close to the border with Syria, just north of Aleppo. I predict Gaziantep experienced the most powerful shaking as it was the closest city to the epicentre. © Hodder & Stoughton Limited 2023<br>
slide5. The impacts Task 1
Read the first section of the article up to and including the impacts. Use this information to complete the table below. © Hodder & Stoughton Limited 2023 Task 2
Explain some of the factors which exacerbated the impacts for both countries.
In Syria, there has been a civil war for the last 12 years. This could increase impacts because…
In Türkiye, there was criticism of… This could increase….<br>
slide6. The responses Task 1
Read the final section of the article and complete the table below. © Hodder & Stoughton Limited 2023 Task 2
Explain some of the challenges for the immediate and long-term response for both countries.
A significant challenge facing the response in Syria was…
Less aid has been given to ______ , this could slow down the response because… and have further impacts such as…<br>
slide7. Finally… Why do the impacts of earthquakes vary between countries?
Use all the information you have gathered to answer this question, including:
The distance from the epicentre of the earthquake
The social and economic conditions of a country
The links and support a country has we others around the world © Hodder & Stoughton Limited 2023 Key words
epicentre, magnitude, social, economic, environmental, conflict<br>
