outline the relationship between discharge and hydraulic radius (2)
- positive relationship
- they both increase downstream
- as the rivers size and energy increases
suggest two landform changes that could be caused by river processes (3+3)
1
- meander develops into ox-bow lake
- when river erosion cuts through neck of the meander
- deposition continues to isolate the lake
2
- deltas develop
- as the river enters a body of water (eg. sea) the velocity decreases
- so the sediment carrying capacity decreases
- and eventually bedload is deposited
what is meant by the rate of natural increase
- difference between birth rate and death rate
- usually expressed as a %
one political cause and one political consequence of forced migration (2+2)
POLITICAL CAUSE
- civil war in syria
- led to many having to flee to nearby countries like turkey

2

describe the pattern of estimated GDP growth in Asian mega cities (2017-2030) (2)
- estimated GDP growth expected to be mostly over 100%
- biggest single increase is expected in Dhaka, at least 35%
to what extent does the infographic indicate the consequences of megacity growth are always negative (6)
- overall the infographic provides a balanced view of megacity growth
NEGATIVES:
- congestion, many hours lost
- population density (variable)
- produces urban sprawl
POSITIVES:
- high rates of GDP
- home to the most affluent sections of society
