At the end of the lesson you should

-Be able to explain where in Turkey earthquakes occur 

-Be able to explain why the earthquakes occus there

-Name the types of volcanism 

Language aim: 
You are able to use the word phenomenon
You are able to explain the word obey

Homework was 1 to 8

Questions?

Where? 

So why do they occur there?

The earthquakes in Turkey can be explained by plate tectonics:

>African and Arabian plates collide with Eurasian plate.

>The Anatolian plate in-between is pushed west.

> Tension in the Earth’s crust along the North Anatolian Fault

Urban renewal

Damage is high due to poor quality buildings.

Plan for building large suburbs with earthquake proof buildings. 

What would happen if builders do not obey the regulations?

1.Look up the meaning for the word obey.

2.Formulate an answer with the word obey in it.

3.Write your answer on the next slide

What would happen if builders do not obey the regulations?

Volcanism

- lava fields near dead volcanoes: Great Ararat and Small Ararat

- landscape formed by tuff and erosion at Cappadocia

- limestone terraces and hotspsing water at Pamukkale

Turkey was affected by volcanism in the past.

Great Ararat and Small Ararat in Eastern Turkey.

How natural ‘chimneys’ formed in Cappadocia:

1.Ash and debris (tuff) and lava were thrown out during an eruption.

2.The soft tuff disappeared at many places because of erosion.

3.Lumps of hard lava protected the underlying tuff.

4.Natural pillars formed.

Read G71 and answer the questions

► Volcanism is not just about volcanoes. There are other volcanic phenomena.

● One very special volcanic phenomenon is the geyser. A geyser is a spring that sends hot water and steam into the air from time to time. The pressure comes from magma which heats water underground. The water expands because of the heat and escapes through an underground crack.

■ The eruption can be long or short depending on the geyser. The time between eruptions can also differ. The Strokkur Geyser in Iceland erupts every five minutes, but only for a few seconds. The Old Faithful Geyser in the United States erupts every sixty to eighty minutes. The eruption lasts for ninety seconds to five minutes.

● Volcanic phenomena are always connected with the Earth’s heat. The heat remains for a long time, even when a volcano is dead (it has stopped erupting). Mineral springs sometimes develop around dead volcanoes because minerals dissolve fast in hot water. A mineral spring is an example of a post-volcanic phenomenon (post means after).

What is a phenomenon?

Which phenomena occur around volcanoes?

Homework: 4 to 7.

Let's check your knowledge!

6.1 Why is Turkey an emerging country?

1. There are lots of central business districts
2. It connects Asia with Europe
3. The difference between East and West is shrinking
4. It is modernizing very fast

6.1: Explain how regional inequality developed in Turkey.

6.1: How affects this inequality on migration and development?

1. People need to work more
2. People move to richer places for work
3. People stay on the countryside
4. The East will become a region with more income

6.2: The word 'gecekondu' means built in a night

1. True
2. False

6.1 + 6.2: Why is there a migration flow from the interior to the coast?

6.1 + 6.2: Why is there a migration flow from countryside (rural) to cities (urban)?

6.1 + 6.2: Why is there a migration flow from East to West?

6.2 Which two religions played an important role in Istanbul?

1. Christianity and Islam
2. Only Christianity
3. Only Islam
4. Nor Christianity, nor Islam

What are characteristics of
urban renewal in Istanbul?

Where can you find volcanos?

1. Where plates move towards each other (convergence)
2. Where plates move apart (divergence)
3. Where plates slide past each other (transform movement)
