Description
Recognise that volcanoes and earthquakes tend to happen in certain places — especially around the edges of the Pacific Ocean (Ring of Fire) — not randomly across the Earth
Mastery Evidence
- Describe the pattern that volcanoes and earthquakes cluster in certain zones
- Locate the Ring of Fire on a world map
- Explain that the locations of earthquakes and volcanoes are not random
Assessment Prompt
If your child looked at a world map showing where earthquakes and volcanoes happen, could they spot the pattern — that they cluster in certain lines and bands rather than being scattered everywhere?
