Description

The Natural Hazards and Their Impact on Earth presentation is a visually engaging PowerPoint that introduces students to geological and weather-related hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, and bushfires. The slides include discussion prompts, sorting activities, data analysis tasks, and real-world case studies to help students explore how natural hazards impact the environment and human societies. The resource also integrates Indigenous fire management knowledge and cultural site protection strategies, highlighting the importance of both scientific and traditional approaches to disaster risk reduction.

•    Science Lessons: Introduce or reinforce concepts related to natural hazards and environmental changes.
•    Geography Integration: Use for mapping activities that examine global hazard zones.
•    Inquiry-Based Learning: Encourage students to propose solutions for disaster prevention and response.
