Geography

1. human vs physical features

   • human features is features like farm church ect
   • physical features are sea cloud hill ect

2. construction of a pie chart

   • x / total x 360 ( degrees in pie chart

3. scattergraph relationship

   • if points start low and go higher it is called a positive
   • if it starts high and gets low its a negative relationship
   • if random just say no relationship

4. making graphs

   • a title
   • a key
   • scale
   • arrow north
   • line of best fit(balance of points)
   • labelled axis

5. fieldwork reports

   • 1.aims+objectives
     • 2.method of collecting data
       • 3.present data(graphs)
         • 4.analyse the data(describe trend etc)
           • 5.conclusion and evaluation

6. revise (in book):map symbols-6/4 figure grid reference-village form and shape

7. 1:25000 map =4cm-1km

   • 1:50000 map=2cm-1km

8. taking a compass bearing

   • line up base plate between the 2 places(plate arrow pointing to place)
     • internal arrow pointing north(in barrel)
       • read the bearing(always 3 figures)where plate arrow crosses with barrel scale

9. relief and contours

   • relief in height and shape of the land
     • contours are brown lines that join area of equal height work out contour intervals

10. vocab!!!

    • plain=low flat land
    • plateau=highflat land
    • spur=jut down from hill
    • col=dip between two summits
    • gap=gap between 2 mountains
    • summit=highest point of a mountain
    • glacial period=ice age
    • interglacial period= what we are in

11. drawing a cross section

    • 1.use a ruler to draw between point x and y
    • 2.mark each contour line on the x-y line
    • 3.record height of each line next to dot
    • transfer onto graph (using dot to mark how far along and height for height

12. what a settle meant needs

    • water
    • flood plain farming fields
    • non flooding place for accommodation
    • forest
    • highpoint/strong hold

13. types of settlement

    • foothill(bottom of a hill)
    • dry point site(hill v well drained)
    • wet point site(low lieing flat ground near river)

14. job types of a settlement;mining-fishing-market-administrative (ext)

15. climate change

    • suns rays can pass through earths atmosphere in
      • short wave radiation form but when the earth projects
        • heat back in long wave radiation it gets trapped in atmosphere
    • good and bad effects

16. revise in book geometry of earth and cause of seasons

17. structure of earth

    • inner core 3000 oc but solid, iron nickel and sulphur 1260kms thick
      • outer core;2200kms thick 3000 oc less pressure same components liquid form
        • mantle;29000kms thick convection(hot rises cools falls…) currents cause crust to drift

18. evidence of continental drift

    • continents fit together
    • animals across borders(fossils)
    • rocks + mountains fit
    • (land mass before split called pangea)
