This document provides a checklist of resources for a GCSE Natural Tectonics Module, including videos, textbooks, and worksheets. It outlines topics within tectonics like plate tectonics, types of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and fold mountains. Case studies of volcanic eruptions like Mt St Helens and earthquakes like Kobe are mentioned. The resources listed will help students learn about the distribution and effects of tectonic events as well as human activities in tectonically active areas.
