e.g. Earthquakes
are mostly found
along tectonic
plate boundaries
e.g. Such as along the
western coast of the
USA where the North
American & Pacific
plates meet
e.g. This is because at
tectonic plate
boundaries, stress and
friction builds up due
to convergent &
divergent movement
e.g. Therefore you are
more likely to find
earthquakes when the
stress builds too much,
whereas in areas away
from plate boundaries
there are likely to be
fewer earthquakes.

7. Define 'weather'
Write your own definition for weather.
The state of the atmosphere at a given
time and place, with respect to variables
such as temperature, moisture, wind
velocity, and barometric pressure.

would be quite pleasant if one didn’t
have to breathe.’ Sir Ranulph Fiennes

19. We both began to accept that we would run out of food and fuel before we could make the pole. We had, by the end of
April, broken all previous unsupported records by many miles. Some 89 miles from the North Pole, Mike recorded:
‘Although the realisation had been slow to dawn, we both knew that the end was imminent. We had been in decline for
weeks and only the perseverance of the other kept us going. Staggering across the endless sea ice, driven by a
desperation not to give up so close to our goal, we were the embodiment of frailty. I was weakened by 450 miles of
wading through knee-deep snow, following the breakage of my ski binding in the first week, and Ran was in great pain
from a deep blister, turned ulcer, that was eroding his heel. For a couple of weeks he had also been losing his vision
and now he was nearly blind. He stumbled after my vague outline, cursing as he tripped over every unseen obstacle.
For the moment, however, all our problems were overshadowed by the pain in our near frozen fingers. This happened
every morning as packing needed some dexterity. You simply couldn’t do up straps wearing inner gloves and two pairs
of mitts. Strangely, the fingers were now numb as well as painful. With sensation lost from the bloodless skin, the pain
arose from joints and tendons within. Hands curled up inside the mitts felt totally alien, as if frozen sausages had been
left in the glove. It would be half an hour before they thawed. Then they would burn fiercely as the blood returned, and
new blisters would form where the tissues had turned to ice. . . .’
We felt close, linked by a camaraderie that had grown through the hardships we had endured, a feeling of unified
suffering and achievement. Mike summarized our last day of travel:
‘Ran was shaking me by the shoulder. He said, ‘Mike, unless the wind has changed, you are off course, it’s blowing
over my left shoulder.’ I checked the compass. Near South – entirely the wrong direction. Stupid of me, just losing
concentration. But why couldn’t I see properly and why were my legs like jelly? ‘Shorry, I wassh dray deaming.’ The
words were slurred and inarticulate. Ran knew what it meant. He put down his pack and started unpacking the tent. ‘
As he said later, it was like the drunk leading the blind and he realised that it was far too dangerous to go on. I had
been hypoglycaemic again. Now was the time to call for removal with the satellite beacon.

In January, the average mean
maximum temperature
decreases as you move north.
For example, temperatures
are above 8oC in Cornwall
whilst they are between 1
and 6oC in Scotland. The
temperature doesn’t go
below 3oC in England, south
of Birmingham In addition,
the temperature is warmer
around coastal areas. Finally,
high land has a lower
temperature than
surrounding land.

27. Factors affecting climate – A lad.
A – Airmasses
L - Latitude
A - Altitude
D – Distance from the sea
28. Tropical – from the Equator – warm
Polar – from the Polar regions – cold
Arctic – from over the North Pole – very cold…
Maritime – over the sea – wet
Continental – over land - dry
Given a double
barrelled name,
named after where
they are from, then
what they travel
over.
29. These are isobars,
they denote
equal points of
pressure. They
never cross.
•Join points of equal
pressure carefully with a
pencil.
•Mark and shade the
area of highest and
lowest pressure.
Draw an arrow to show
the direction of air flow.
•Name the airmass
passing over the United
Kingdom.
•Suggest the weather
over the United Kingdom.
