Earthquake
This resource provides a film which explains how the movement of the tectonic plates can cause earthquakes and tsunamis. Students are then introduced to a rescue operation to save the population of a string of islands known as the Snowpac chain. There has been a disastrous earthquake which has devastated this volcanic island chain and help will not arrive for seven days.
Students work in teams to plan the quickest way for the RAF to deliver food, water and medical aid to the population of the island, which is 3780 miles from the UK. They must gather information about the island, how much food and water will be needed and the transport options available.
The resource also looks at the careers available in the RAF.
