outline the main features of one landform, other than a waterfall, created by river erosion (2)
- a meander is a winding section of a river
- with a steep river cliff on the outside bend
explain two reasons why rates of erosion could vary at different waterfalls (3+3)
1
- if the drop in height is great
- the water will be very fast
- therefore more rapid abrasion/hydraulic action
2
- if the geology is more softer rocks
- softer rocks erode quicker
- therefore more rapid abrasion/hydraulic action
what is meant by fertility rate (2)
- the number of children per 1000 women
- a woman gives birth to during her lifetime
Two reasons why fertility rates decline when the status of women is improved (2+2)
1
- women have more access to contraception and birth control
- so they have more control over the number of children they have
2
- increased access to education for women
- so marriage and childbirth is more delayed and less of a priority
explain why countries have uneven sex ratio due to (2+2)
i) migration
ii) ageing society
i)
- migration of males to find work
- meaning higher proportion of males in country
ii)
- women tend to have higher life expectancies than men
- so in the elderly population (over 65) there is a greater proportion of women

SUPPORT:
- ranks 1 in women literacy
- women are well educated

- women well represented in work force
- make up significant proportion
AGAINST:
