Facts about Mount Hallasan

in South Korea include:

• It is South Korea’s highest

mountain.

• It is 1950 m high.

• It is an extinct volcano.

• It is on the Island of Jeju

in the Korea Strait.

The first free elections in South

Korea were held in 1987.

The Earth is 4.6 billion years

old, according to scientific

evidence.

Birds appeared during

the Jurassic period of the

Geological Timescale.

The Great Rift Valley in East

Africa is an example of a

constructive plate boundary.

The point where an

earthquake’s shockwaves

reach the surface of the Earth

is called the epicentre.

7% of the Earth’s crust is made

up of sedimentary rocks.

Weathering is the gradual

breakdown of rock by the

action of plants, animals

and the weather. Erosion is

the removal of rock through

movement (e.g. rivers, wind,

the sea).

Onion-skin weathering occurs

in places where there is a

large variation in temperature

between night and day.

The five factors that influence

the formation of soil are:

• Climate

• Organisms

• Parent material

• Relief

• Time

When cold air sinks, the air

pressure is increased.

The UK has a temperate climate

– warm summers, mild winters

and high total rainfall.

To form a zone of

equilibrium, accumulation

and ablation are in balance.

Pyramidal peaks are formed

when three or more corries

form back to back.

In constructive waves,

swash is more powerful than

backwash. In destructive

waves, backwash is more

powerful than swash.

Floodplains and levees would

be found at the lower stage

of a river.

Desertification is caused by

overgrazing of cattle and

overcultivation of crops,

which results in soil erosion

and leads to an increasing

amount of land turning into

desert.

Methods of sustainable

management include:

• Reafforestation

• Conservation / protected areas

• Agroforestry

• Monitoring of illegal

deforestation

The birth rate in Ethiopia

(42.9) is much higher than the

birth rate in the UK (12.3).

The population density of

the UK is higher than the

population density of New

Zealand.

According to the UN, 60% of

the world’s population will live

in urban environments by 2030.

Characteristics of shanty towns

include:

• Makeshift housing

• No water or electricity supply

• No sewage system

• Poor roads

• No waste disposal

The Brandt Line is an imaginary

line that divides the developed

north of the world with the

less developed south. It is

misleading because countries

below the line, such as

China and India, are newly

industrialising countries.

70–80% of people in HICs

work in the tertiary sector.

Arable farms grow plants to eat.

Pastoral farms rear animals that

provide us with products such as

meat, milk and eggs.

What percentage of

the world’s population will

live in urban environments by

2030, according to the UN?

List the characteristics of

shanty towns.

What is the Brandt Line and

how is it misleading?

What percentage of people in

High Income Countries (HICs)

work in the tertiary sector?

What is the difference

between arable farming and

pastoral farming?

Fossil fuels are a non-

renewable energy resource.

They include coal, oil and gas.

On an Ordnance Survey map

relief is shown using contour

lines, spot heights and

triangulation points.

One grid square on an

Ordnance Survey map

represents 1 km2.

A Geographic Information

System can be used for

viewing, analysing and

changing data on maps.

This type of rating is called a

bi-polar scale.
