Geography fieldwork Flashcards
What is advancing the line?
Advancing the line is trying to increase the size of the coast, an example is groynes which expand the coast by creating beaches (however terminal groyne syndrome)
What is the A8 accession?
Often referred to as the EU8 it is a group of countries that joined they EU in 2004. There was a large influx of migrants around that time. The other European counties had lower standards of living
What techniques did we use to collate our primary data?
We used a place check, Car registrations, quality of life survey and an environmental quality survey
What determines how accurate something is?
How close it is to the exact value (some things cannot be accurate)
What structure is needed to tackle rural deprivation fieldwork questions?
Fieldwork primary data techniques and how they relate to the question. Secondary techniques, method of collecting data (stratified,random,systematic) and general overview
What is holding the line?
Holding the line is when sea defences are put in place to stop the coastal erosion from furthering. Rip rap is an example of that since it dissipates sea energy.
What secondary data did we use to choose our fieldwork locations?
We used a datashine census to find out two places that were differing in accessibility (slapton and chillington)
How could fieldwork be more accurate?
Fieldwork can be taken at differing time intervals and consistency must be maintained (one person decor each aspect)
What is a shoreline management plan?
It’s a way of defending the coast from erosion
What is systematic sampling?
This is when information is collected at regular time intervals so the results are more consistent
What is a shoreline management plan?
It is the process of deciding whether to spend money to protect land from coastal erosion
What is being holistic?
Zooming out and looking at the bigger picture
What other ethnicities came to England?
There was also many Indians and Pakistanis that came to England round about the 1950’s since they were British colonies
What is stratified sampling?
When an area is cut off into sectors and the sectors are randomly selected and compared
What is doing nothing?
When the land is not valuable enough to defend so it is abandoned and not defended. The sediment could be put to use in other areas and this is integrated coastal management
