Unit 1 – Revision List Content Named examples (suggestions but add own) Natural Hazards Define the term Hazard and split into Geophysical, hydro-meteorological or chronic hazards (e.g. Global warming). Dreg’s model when a hazard becomes a disaster. Risk and vulnerability Measuring risk – The risk equation Identify and explain why the risks of natural hazards are increasing. To identify how to reduce the risk. Identify how vulnerability influences the risk and impacts of Natural hazards. Natural Hazard trends To be able to describe and explain reasons for the frequency and magnitude patterns for a range of geophysical and hydro-meteorological hazards. El Nino and La Nina. Cycle pattern and impact. Distribution of Natural Hazards To be able to describe the geophysical distribution. To be able to explain the physical causes – tectonic plate margins. Earthquakes / tsunamis Volcanoes (Landslides) To be able to describe the hydrometeorological distribution. Droughts Floods Storms Hotspots Identify and define hazard hotspots. To identify and explain the range of hazards associated with that hotspot and link to examples. To discuss the frequency and impacts of the hazards. Climate Change and its causes Identify and explain physical causes Haiti flooding LEDC Hurricane Katrina MEDC Bam, Iran v Hawaii, USA. Boxing Day tsunami, 2004 LEDC Research task based on own examples. California Hotspot Australia / S. America Destructive Constructive Collision Conservative Hazard examples associated with: California Hotspot The Philippines hotspot Milankovitch cycles Variations in solar output Volcanic eruptions Revised? (Tick when confident) Identify and explain anthropogenic causes Evidence of Climate Change Identify and explain long term Enhanced greenhouse gas emissions Destruction of natural C02 sinks Ice cores – Artic Pollen Analysis Identify and explain medium term Retreating glaciers Dendrochronology (tree rings) Identify and explain short term Weather records Polar ice melt Impacts of Climate Change Compulsory case studies Indirect impacts of global warming: Sea level rising. Predicting the impacts of climate change Coping with Climate Change (Mitigation or Adaption) Key players roles and conflicts Artic Africa Low lying – Bangladesh (Flood adaption) Low lying and defending – Netherlands Small low lying island - Maldives BP / Shell UK government International Agreements Kyoto Protocol 1997 Act local, think Global Energy efficiency and conservation strategies Copenhagen’ CHP scheme Biofuels Revision ideas: Create flash cards Create ‘mind maps’ on each section Use the on-line textbook for extra knowledge & understanding Make use of - past exam questions – practise both the short & long questions - past mark schemes (look carefully at what the examiner is looking for) - revision guide for sample questions & answers
