How fair trade works and why it is unnecessary
ensure fairer terms of trade between farmers and buyers, protect workers’ rights, and provide the framework for producers to build thriving farms and organizations.
Explain distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes
Earthquakes are found along all types of plate margins as shown on this map. Volcanoes however, only occur at constructive and destructive plate margins
Explain the process involved in the constructive plate movement.
the tectonic plates are moving away from one another. The Earth’s crust is pulled apart to create a new pathway for rising hot magma to flow on to the surface
Explain the process involved in the destructive plate movement
two plates move towards another. One plate is then pushed underneath the other
Explain the process involved in the conservative plate movement
the plates move past each other or are side by side moving at different speeds
Explain how countries are reducing the risk of hazards. Predicting and preparing.
Make buildings stronger and build walls to protect us from a tsunami
Describe the distribution of tropical storms
initially move westward (owing to easterly winds) and slightly towards the poles
Explain how tropical storms are formed
High sea temperatures of at least 27°C. Converging winds near the ocean surface forcing air to rise and form storm clouds
Different type of weather hazards in the uk
as droughts, depressions and storms, flooding, extreme cold, and heat waves
Explain why extreme weather is increasing in the uk
Climate change can increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events
The structure of a tropical storm and it’s features
The rapidly rising warm air spirals upwards, cools, condenses and large cumulonimbus clouds form. These clouds form the eye wall of the storm and produce heavy rainfall. In the centre of the storm, cold air sinks forming the eye of the storm - here, conditions are calm and dry.
Causes and impacts of the typhoon storm
forms when winds blow into areas of the ocean where the water is warm And the effects are people leading to death, props destroyed and buildings destroyed
