Question 3

What is the inner core?

Answer 3

The hot, solid centre of the earth

Question 4

What is the outer core?

Answer 4

The liquid layer surrounding the inner core

Question 5

What is the Mantle?

Answer 5

The thick layer of magma

Question 6

What is the crust?

Answer 6

The thin layer of side rock making up the outer shell of the earth

Question 7

What is the thickness of the oceanic tectonic plate?

Answer 7

6-10km

Question 8

What is the composition of the oceanic tectonic plate?

Answer 8

Basalt

Question 9

What is the density of the oceanic tectonic plate?

Answer 9

Dense

Question 10

What is the thickness of the continental tectonic plate?

Answer 10

60+ km

Question 11

What is the composition of the continental tectonic plate?

Answer 11

Granite

Question 12

What is the density of the continental tectonic plate?

Answer 12

Less dense

Question 13

What does the theory of convection suggest?

Answer 13

that magma is rising in the mantle as it is heated and then sinks back towards the core when it cools.

Question 14

What are the three different types of plate margins?

Answer 14

Destructive
constructive
conservative

Question 15

What does destructive plate margins usually involve?

Answer 15

An oceanic plate and a continental plate. The plates move towards on another and this movement can cause earthquakes.

Question 16

What is subduction?

Answer 16

As the plates collide, the oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate.

Question 17

Why does subduction occur?

Answer 17

The oceanic plate is denser than the continental plate

Question 18

What is a collision margin?

Answer 18

If two plates collide, neither can sink and so the land buckles upwards to form fold mountains.

Question 19

What direction does the constructive plate margin plates move?

Answer 19

Apart from one another

Question 20

When the constructive plate margin plates move what happens?

VOLCANO

Answer 20

The magma from the mantle rises up to make (or construct) new land in the form of a shield volcano.

Question 21

What does the movement of the constructive plates can cause?

Answer 21

earthquakes

Question 22

What direction does the conservative plate margin plates move?

Answer 22

Past each other or are side by side moving at different speeds

Question 23

When the conservative plate margin plates move what happens?

Answer 23

Friction occurs and plates become stuck. Pressure builds up because the plates are still trying to move

Question 24

What happens when the conservative plate margin plates pressure is realesed?

Answer 24

It sends out huge amounts of energy causing an earthquake

Question 25

What happens when a conservative plate margin causes an earthquake?

Answer 25

They can be very destructive as they occur close to the Earth's surface. There are no volcanoes.

Question 26

How did historical help cause the development gap?

Answer 26

Early European explorers colonised many of these regions, exploiting the resources and the people living there. The colonial powers grew wealthier, whilst many of the colonies became low income countries.

Question 27

How did political help cause the development gap?

Answer 27

Poor governance and conflict have prevented some countries from developing. Some governments have used their power for personal gain rather than to benefit the country. Wars are expensive. Money is spent on weapons and repairing damage, rather than on healthcare and education.

Question 28

How did geographical help cause the development gap?

Answer 28

Some countries have very hot or very dry climates. This makes it difficult to secure a water supply and grow crops. Warm climates also allow tropical diseases to spread. Some countries are landlocked. This can make it harder to secure water supplies or safe routes to import and export goods. Natural hazards,this is because countries spend a lot of time and money recovering from the hazard.

Question 29

How did the socio-economic help cause the development gap?

Answer 29

Many LICs countries have a youthful population. Younger people will grow up to be the future workforce of a country. However they require a good education and in some countries there is a shortage of schools, teachers and resources. In some countries, children must work from a young age.

Question 30

How did the bottom-up development help to close the development gap?

Answer 30

These are NGOs who direct aid towards sustainable development. This is to target the poorest communities using appropriate technology and involving the local people.
