These notes were copied from an AQA textbook. They contain EVERYTHING you need to know for the exam for the tectonics section.
You WILL however, need to use your own case studies as these are not included.
You will need 2 case studies for volcanoes, and 2 case studies for earthquakes. You ideally need to have one LEDC and one MEDC for each.
You could use Iceland and Pinatubo for the volcanoes; and Haiti and Japan for the earthquakes

CORE- size of mars, densest part, made of rocks of iron and nickel.
Rigid upper mantle, apart from this most of the mantle is semi molten with temperatures near the core reaching 5000 degrees. These high temperatures generate convection currents.
Thinnest layer is the crust which has the coolest less dense rocks. These rocks are rich In silicon o2 aluminium potassium and sodium.
TWO TYPES OF CRUST: Oceanic and continental. Composed of mainly sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. Continental crust can be 70km thick.
