factors effecting Flashcards
2 factors of drought
famine and limited water supply
2 factors effecting mass movements
Vegetation binds together soil limiting mass movement
Weather because the rainfall lubricates and speeds up mass movement
two factors of ecosystems
Sea temperature > coral reefs grow best between 23 and 25 degrees
develop in sheltered locations (1) > bayheads and estuaries (1)
two factors of river flooding
High rainfall so higher discharge
Snow melting because there is increased run off in spring raising river levels
Explain two factors that have led to the growth of megacities.
Natural increase is high (1) as birth rates are higher than death rates (1).
Rural to urban migration (1), with extension through details of a push or pull factor (1).
Two impacts of a fall in sea level:
River erosion -
Impacts on costal ecosystems
Destructive waves
Destructive waves have lots of energy (1) which mean that there is more abrasion (1).
