Geog Flashcards
Lower course.
Flood plain attracts people as more fertile and wider as more discharge so more erosion.
Remember.
Talk about how geology affects caost.
Reasons for growth in tertiary.
Increase in some sectors e.g. finance and business services (1) because
of UK’s/London’s global role (1)
Rise in incomes/borrowing (1) driving higher consumption so
more employment in retail/leisure etc (1)
Population growing (1) therefore need for services such as
Drs/teachers (1)
Uneducated/low level skills they have to find tertiary jobs (1)
need to specify type of tertiary job, e.g. serving in McDonalds
(1)
As become more educated/higher education (1), therefore
more suited to skilled jobs such as in financial, legal sector etc.
(1)
Deindustrialisation or decline in primary employment (1) so
(statistical) increase in growth of tertiary sectors (
Explain one reason why building height varies in urban areas
Because of different levels of demand for space (1) which makes it
profitable to intensify use of space by building upwards (1)
Because of costs of land (1) making it more profitable to build
upwards to intensify land use (1)
Because of planning regulations (1) which allow higher buildings in
some places but not others (1)
Because of the age of the property (1) old buildings in the centre can
CONGESTION.
ok.
NEED scale.
Ok.
How is river discharge calculated/
Width, depth can be measured to give cross-sectional area
multiplied by velocity (1) to give cumecs (cubic metres per
second) (1)
State two reasons why foreign direct investment (FDI) has increased in the UK.
(
Globalisation has seen growth of TNCs (1)
Free trade has made inward investment easier (1)
(Successive) governments have encouraged/promoted inward
investment (1)
Membership of the EU has reduced significance of borders (1)
Docklands.
Might create social conflict (1) between incomers and existing
residents (1)
May lead to growth in population (1) which will bring benefits to
owners of services, e.g. retailers (1)
May increase value of properties (1) increasing wealth of existing property owners.
Bedzed sustainable.
South London, thick insulation, solar heating and water saving appliances. Houses built from locally sourced materials giving them a smalller carbon footprint. Also subsides rents.
Green space sustainable.
40%.
Transport sustainable.,
Reduce noise an air pollution by coingestion charging and self-service bicycles and electric buses.
Sustainable recycling.
Only 33% of rubbish in London is recycled.
Employment sustainable.
Ubcreasing employment opportunities reduced poverty and improved economic sustainability.
Suggest two factors that the students may have considered when selecting
their sites.
To cover a range of channel characteristics (1) so at appropriate
intervals and not clustered (1)
To allow the fieldwork to be carried out (1) given constraints of
numbers/time etc. (1)
To allow for access/safety issues (1) example of same, e.g. sites 24/7.
Waht showed liquod inner core.
S wave shadow zone.
What showed solid core/
Small p weaves detected in p wave shadow zone as does not slow down too miuch.
Radio waves.
Terrestrial tv using an aeriel like freeview.
Microwaves.
Heating food as food has water molecules which absorb energy and increases temp. Also communicate with satellites as they can pass through earths atmosphere.

Infared.
Heating and food as energy from infrared is easily absorbed by objects.
Visible.
Optical fibres for cable tv signals. Short wavleenth s ocean carry lots of info.
