Question 1

Rocks

Answer 1

Rocks are classiified into three main groups: igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.

Question 2

Igneous rocks

Answer 2

Igneous rocks (e.g. granite) are formed by magma from the molten inside part of the Earth. When magma erupts it cools to form volcanic landforms.

Question 3

Sedimentary rocks

Answer 3

Sedimentary rocks (e.g. sandstones) are formed from sediments that have settled at the bottom of a lake, sea or ocean, and have been compressed over millions of years .

Question 4

Metamorphic rocks

Answer 4

Metamorphic rocks (e.g. slate) have been subjected to tremendous heat and/or pressure, causing them to change into another type of rock. They are usually resistant to weathering and erosion and are therefore very hard-wearing.

Question 5

Where is the UK?

Answer 5

It is in the North West of Europe, to the west of the UK is the Atlantic Ocean.

Question 6

Where is the Tropic of Cancer?

Answer 6

To the north of the equator is the Tropic of Cancer.

Question 7

Where is the Tropic of Capricorn?

Answer 7

To the south of the equator is the Tropic of Capricorn.

Question 8

What are the five oceans?

Answer 8

Pacific ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Southern ocean

Question 9

What are the five continents?

Answer 9

North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, Antarctica

Question 10

How do we measure wind direction and which units do we use?

Answer 10

Wind direction- the instrument is a weather vane and units are compass point north, east, south, west

Question 11

How do we measure precipitation, what is the instrument and what are the units?

Answer 11

Precipitation, the instrument is a rain gauge and the units of measurement are milliliters (ml).

Question 12

How do we measure Air pressure, what is the instrument and the units?

Answer 12

air pressure - the instrument is a barometer and the units are millibars (mb).

Question 13

How do we measure wind speed, what is the instrument and the units?

Answer 13

Wind speed - the instrument is an anemometer and the units of measure meant are mph or km/h.

Question 14

How do we measure visibility, what is the instrument and the units?

Answer 14

Visibility - the instrument is a visibility metre and the unit of measurement is meters.

Question 15

How do Measure cloud cover, what is the instrument, what is the unit of measurement?

Answer 15

Cloud cover - The instrument is your eyes and the units of measurement is oktas.

Question 16

How do we measure temperature, what is the instrument, what is the unit of measurement?

Answer 16

Temperature - The instrument is a Thermo meter and the unit of measurement is degrees Celsius.

Question 17

How are temperatures and rainfall shown?

Answer 17

Temperatures are shown on a line graph as red and rainfall is shown as a blue bar graph.

Question 18

What should a graph look like?

Answer 18

All three axes should be labelled: temp/ precipitation/ month. Title and key.

Question 19

Types of rainfall

Answer 19

Convection, relief rain, frontal rain

Question 20

Conventional rainfall

Answer 20

The Sun heats the land and the air above. Warm air rises, cools and condenses, forming clouds. Rain can then occur.

Question 21

Relief rainfall

Answer 21

Warm, moist air is forced to rise over high areas. Air cools and condenses, forming clouds. It rains and air descendes, warms and becomes drier.

Question 22

Impacts of tourism

Answer 22

More money from tourism. Increased rain (heavy rain, more storms, probably more flooding). Warmer and drier summers (more chance of drought, water shortages, hosepipe bands, sunstroke/sunburn-especially dangerous for elderly). Damage to ecosystems (new species can live in the UK if it became warmer so can take over the species that were already there). Damage to crops (food shortages = food prices increase)

Question 23

climate

Answer 23

climate is the average weather in a place over many years. Climate takes hundreds, thousands, even millions of years to change.

Question 24

Weather

Answer 24

Weather is the daily conditions. Weather conditions can change quickly.
