CGC 1D - PHYSICAL & HUMAN GEOGRAPHY TEST REVIEW 2015 Test Date: Monday, April 20 Earth Structure Understand how a convection current in Earth’s interior moves a tectonic plate. Earthquakes in Canada Are there earthquakes in Canada? Explain the patterns. Identify the regions prone to earthquakes. What area of Canada is at greatest risk of earthquakes? Why? Continental Drift What is Pangaea? How has the Earth changed since then? Explain continental drift, and provide evidence that supports this theory. Plate Tectonics What does the concept of plate tectonics explain? Define and explain each of the four types of plate movement: subduction, collision/convergence, divergence, transform faults. Be able to explain the effects of plate movement on the landscape. What are the two different types of plates? Define Plate Tectonics Outline the forces that build up Canada’s landscape (e.g., volcanoes, earthquakes, folding and faulting). Landform Regions Be able to classify each region into highlands, lowlands or shield. Identify one or two key characteristics for each region Big questions How does the physical geography of the Earth affect people? How do people affect the Earth? How will the Earth continue to change? Population Distribution and Canadian Cities Population distribution What factors influence where Canadians live? Demographics and World Population How does Canada compare? Consider some real examples: Afghanistan, Germany, and the Republic of Congo What’s the pattern of world population growth? Where is population growing fastest? What’s happening to growth in North America? What’s the problem with North American consumption patterns? How can policies influence the birth rate? Rule of 70, doubling times, dependency loads – how to calculate and issues associated with them Population pyramids – how to create and analyze What are the implications of an aging population in Canada? Immigration issues Historical immigration trends in Canada Push and Pull factors Skills Reading and analyzing maps, graphs and charts Analyzing demographic data Calculating doubling times, creating a population pyramid Interpret an isodemographic map Big Questions Where do people live in Canada? What factors influence where people live? What are the trends in where Canadians are living (e.g., growth and decline)? How different are Canadians’ standard of living to others? How is Canada’s population changing? What are the implications of an aging population for Canadians? Why does Canada encourage immigration?
