year 9 geog summary
- Volcanoes
- secondary cone:
forms when the main
vent is blocked
- lava: lava spews
down on the side of
the volcano and
turns into rock
making the volcano
larger.
- magma camber:
stores any molten
rock
- pyroclastic flow:a
deadly hot cloud that
rushes down the side
of a volcano pompeii
- crater: the opening at
the top of the volcano
- Energy
- RENEWABLE
- wind
- solar
- transfers suns light via
energy via
photovoltaic cells
- geothermal
- Tidal
- depending on the tide, the
water under the surface turns
a turbine powers a generator
like an underwater wind farm
- uncommon
- need constant
care
- HYDRO-ELECTRIC
- is due to water being
released from dams the
water falls downwards
spinning a turbine and
turing a generator
- NON-RENWABLE
- COAL
- oil
- GAS
- fossil fuels
- acid rain is created when power stations
industries and vehicles release gases
into the atmosphere releasing gases
such as sulphur dioxide and nitrogen
oxides .water droplets become polluted
and when it rains the rain is acidic which
destroys trees and vegetation and
statues and infects lakes

- most live
in south
east
- glaciers
- DRUMLINS
- They are formed
when moraine
being pushed at
the front of the
glacier is deposited
and over years
forms as a hill.
- corries normally
form on the north
east facing side of a
mountain and form
when a glacier rips
of the side of a
mountain
- If two or more
corries form on
the same
mountain arêtes
are formed
- EROSIAN
- Striations
- deep cuts in rocks
caused by rocks
stuck to the
bottom of the
glacier and
scratching the
surface
- Plucking
- the glacier
sticks to rock
and as it
moves it tears
away bits of
rock
- Thaw freezing
- water goes in crake in
rocks it then expands as
it freezes making the
crack bigger this repeats
itself over and over
again until the rock
shatters
