Geography Revision and Extended Research

 Dear Year 11,  (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/Wheelabrator_Waste-to-Energy_Plant%2C_Saugus_MA.jpg) A Waste to Energy Incinerator Please look at the following videos that summarises the pre-release material.  Video by Mr. B.   A video of drone footage of Waterbeach, the village to the SSE (South South East) of the planned incinerator, and surrounding area.  I will also be posting my suggestions for the questions and the answers below. Mr. B. suggests three potential questions in his video - these are the nine mark long questions: 1) The incineration plant is a sustainable solution for dealing with present and future waste needs. - Discuss this statement referring to figure 3. (9) 2) Using figure 3 and and the waste hierarchy, justify your position on the government's decision to reject the proposed incineration plant. (9) 3) In 2020, the government rejected the proposed incineration plant near Waterbeach. To what extent do you agree with this decision. Use fig

 Natural hazards are sudden, severe events that make the natural environment difficult to manage. They are natural processes of the planet (be it atmospheric , flooding  or geological ) but since they disrupt human life  and have huge economic  and social impacts they become natural hazards .  Atmospheric hazards include: Blizzards, Droughts, Heatwaves, Lightning & Tornadoes.  Flooding hazards include: Glacial bursts & Storm Surges  Geological hazards include: Earthquakes, Landslides, Sink Holes & Volcanic Eruptions Atmospheric combined with Flooding include: Snow Storms, Thunder Storms & Tropical Storms Flooding combined with Geological include:  Avalanches & Tsunamis Geological combined with Atmospheric include: Ash or Pyroclastic Clouds Hazards that combine Atmospheric , Flooding and Geological are mud flows or lahars Hazard risk = the chance of being affected by a natural hazard e.g. the residents of New Orleans hit by Hurricane Katrina between the

 These may help you to remember the key points of Geography or to help you answer the questions in a test or exam.  ( https://www.britannica.com/science/eyeball # /media/1/199358/157177)  S - Social - how does the geography you are studying or answering a question about relate to society and how we all, or maybe don't, get along.  E - Economic - how does the geography you are studying or answering a question about relate to money and how it is used or abused.  E - Environmental - how does the geography you are studying or answering a question about relate to the environment and how it is used or abused.

These can be used for Year 11 and all the years below.  Learn them so that you understand what the question is asking you to do.  Assess  - Consider all the relevant factors or arguments and weigh them up so as to come to a conclusion about their effectiveness of validity.      e.g. - " Assess  how effective your presentation technique(s) were in representing the data collected in this enquiry." (6 marks)  Calculate  - Work out the value of something.     e.g. "Using Figure 7, calculate the increase in retail sales of Fairtrade bananas between 2000 and 2012." (1 mark)         Have you thought about the calculation? Have you included the £ sign or relevant measure? Compare  - describe similarities and differences     e.g. "Using Figure 4, compare  the HDI values in Africa and South America." (2 marks)         What is similar?         What is different?          Use data to to support points. Complete  - Finish the task by adding in information.      e.g. &q
