It tasks the reader to conduct research on coastal features between Scarborough and the Humber estuary, including Flamborough Head, Scarborough, a 1993 cliff slump, and Spurn Point. For each location, the reader is directed to note its location on a map, summarize its geographical features and formation based on provided resources, and in some cases discuss coastal protection measures or tourism attractions through online research.
Lesson 6 causes & frequency of flooding
Floods occur when rivers burst their banks and spill onto surrounding areas due to an excess of water that cannot be contained within the usual river channels. While severe floods have always occurred occasionally in the UK's history, their frequency appears to be increasing in recent decades. Several major floods struck parts of England in the 1960s and 1970s, with more regular flooding making headlines since 1998. There is debate around whether climate change or increased development on floodplains has exacerbated the risk and impacts of flooding in the UK. The document proceeds to provide examples of significant flood events from different regions of the UK.
Flooding 2 Causes
This document discusses flooding and river discharge. It provides background on hydrograph data and plotting. It then discusses several physical factors that can cause rivers to flood such as heavy rainfall, snow melt, soil conditions, relief, and rock type. It also discusses human factors like urbanization, deforestation, and building on floodplains that can exacerbate flooding. The document aims to explain these concepts and factors to know terms related to flooding and river discharge.
What is the river discharge and what factors
The document discusses factors that affect river discharge. It explains that river discharge is calculated based on the cross-sectional area of the river channel and flow velocity. Physical factors like rock type, drainage basin size and relief, and vegetation can impact discharge by affecting runoff and flow speed. Human activities such as urbanization and deforestation can also impact discharge by increasing runoff. Flood hydrographs illustrate how discharge changes during rain events, with peak discharge occurring after a lag time determined by drainage basin characteristics. Case studies can show how changes in discharge impact the drainage basin over time.
Channels and characteristics AQA
As a river flows from its source to its mouth, changes take place in its morphology and landforms. In the upper course, waterfalls and rapids form where the gradient suddenly changes. Potholes are carved by turbulent water. Meanders develop from sediment bars and cause lateral stream migration. Oxbow lakes are left when meanders are cut off. In lowlands, flooding leads to levees, floodplains and deltas where deposition exceeds removal of sediment at the river's mouth. A variety of landforms result from erosion and depositional processes along a river's course.
Changing Channel Characteristics
This document discusses factors that influence a river's velocity, including channel shape, roughness, and slope. Channel shape is best described by hydraulic radius, which is the ratio of cross-sectional area to wetted perimeter. Rivers with a larger hydraulic radius have less frictional drag and higher velocity. A river's velocity will also change throughout the year and from one bank to another due to varying channel characteristics. Velocity increases as you move downstream due to increasing discharge, hydraulic radius, and decreasing bedload size and roughness.
L5 Factors Affecting River Levels
The document discusses factors that influence river discharge levels and hydrographs. It describes how amount and type of rainfall, temperature, previous weather conditions, relief, rock type, drainage density, soil type, land use, and slope can impact river discharge. It also defines key terms like hydrograph, rising limb, falling limb, lag time, and explains how these factors are illustrated on a hydrograph.
L6 Causes Of Flooding
Rivers flood due to both physical and human causes. Physical causes include prolonged or heavy rainfall, snowmelt, soil conditions, relief of the land, and previous weather conditions. Human causes include building on floodplains, deforestation, and urbanization which decrease infiltration and increase surface runoff. Flooding appears to be increasing in frequency in the UK over the past 20 years due to these factors.

Meeting powerpoint 2016
The document provides an itinerary for a geography field trip to Iceland, including locations they will visit each day of the trip. Over the 6 day trip, the group will visit many natural landmarks and sites around Iceland such as Geysir, Gullfoss, Þingvellir, Skógarfoss, Jökulsárlón lagoon, and Reykjavik. The itinerary outlines the planned activities, transportation, and accommodations for each day of the trip. It also includes a packing list of recommended clothing and items to bring for the varied outdoor conditions they will experience during the trip around Iceland.
Coastal questions
Freeze-thaw weathering involves the expansion of water in rock cracks when it freezes, which exerts pressure and causes pieces of rock to break off when it thaws. Chemical weathering changes the composition of the rock through warm, wet conditions. Mass movement rapidly transforms coastlines by causing cliffs and material on slopes to slide downwards, resulting in cliff retreat and new sediment supply on beaches.
Paper 1 revision 29.5.13 bv
Volcanic eruptions can be monitored and potentially predicted using various methods. Earthquake activity, ground deformation measured by tiltmeters and GPS, changes in magma temperature, and gas emissions are monitored in real-time. Seismometers are also used to analyze earthquake waves. By studying patterns of past eruptions, including the timing of flows and gaps between events, volcanologists aim to improve predictions. However, volcanic eruptions often remain unpredictable.
Model 1
Large numbers of tourists visiting tropical destinations can negatively impact the local environment and economy in several ways. Seasonal tourist jobs pay locals low wages, while most profits from hotels and businesses go to foreign owners. Traditional industries like farming suffer when land is sold for tourism development and locals' diets change to imported foods preferred by visitors. Over-tourism can also threaten local customs and introduce social problems by changing island cultures.
Model 3
The document describes three levels of analysis for comparing two population pyramids (A and B). Level 1 involves basic descriptive points about the pyramids' shapes. Level 2 explains differences in life expectancy and development status between the populations based on pyramid shape. Level 3 provides the most detailed analysis by linking sentences, using comparative words, and directly contrasting pyramids A and B.
Model 2
The UK government has tried to improve inner cities since the 1990s through various initiatives. These include programs like City Challenge in the 1990s, which provided funding for local councils and private groups to regenerate areas through new housing, improved community facilities and parks. More recently, the Sustainable Communities program since 2003 has aimed to give residents access to jobs, education, healthcare and a good quality of life while protecting the environment, such as through examples like the New Islington Millennium Village development in Manchester. Earlier initiatives also helped through slum clearances, new social housing and designations like Urban Development Corporations starting in the 1980s.

Millions of pounds have been spent on upgrading facilities, improving attractions, and promoting year-round events. Old buildings have been replaced, hotels upgraded, beaches cleaned, and new attractions added. This includes converting an airfield into a golf course and zoo and adding new rides annually to the Pleasure Beach. Blackpool promotes off-season events to keep the industry thriving throughout the year.
Describe how governments are attempting to cope with the problems of an agein...
The UK government is attempting to cope with an aging population by delaying the retirement age and increasing the age for receiving state pensions. This forces people to work longer and continue paying taxes to fund increased social services and healthcare for the elderly, such as nursing homes. Younger populations are declining so less money is being allocated to education and more is being spent on healthcare and social provision for the aging population.
Urban model answers
The conditions shown in the photo are found in shanty towns because they are unplanned, illegal settlements where people cannot afford proper building materials. As a result, houses are makeshift and put together from scrap, and there is a lack of infrastructure like running water, sanitation, electricity, and paved roads. Diseases spread easily due to contaminated water and poor drainage.
Local people have tried to improve their lives by finding materials to build better houses, setting up schools, tapping into electricity, and finding work to support their families and pay for necessities. They have also worked together to access running water.

The document discusses the global growth of tourism and its economic importance. It explains that tourism has seen the exploitation of cities, mountains, and coastal areas for holidaymakers. Tourism brings many economic benefits, including increasing the number and variety of service sector jobs, improving infrastructure and public services, supporting local industries, and increasing tax revenues for local and national governments. Many small island countries have benefited greatly from tourism and improved air travel, as it has lessened their dependence on unstable commodity exports and brought a much-needed source of income. Around 80% of Barbados's national income comes from tourism.
L1 why has global tourism grown nsr
The document discusses the global growth of tourism since 1950. Some key points:
- Tourism is the world's largest industry, worth $500 billion in 2007. There were 900 million international tourist travelers that year.
- The top destinations are France, Spain, Italy, USA, China and UK. Tourism is one of the top 5 sources of foreign exchange for 83% of countries.
- Reasons for the increase include rising incomes, more leisure time, cheaper air travel, and greater infrastructure and advertising of destinations. Tourism has continued growing since the 1950s and has proven resilient to economic downturns.
L14 waste
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to several environmental problems related to waste disposal, air pollution, and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of waste but poorer countries lack the funds and infrastructure to dispose of it properly. Much of the waste is toxic but remains untreated, threatening public health. Air and water resources are also impacted by pollution from industry and traffic without adequate regulations. Waste pickers, including children, search through garbage for items to resell but face health risks from toxic materials. Overall, the scale of waste problems outpaces solutions in less developed countries experiencing fast urban growth.
L15 air and water pollution
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world leads to environmental problems from increased air and water pollution. Cities produce large amounts of air pollution from industry and waste that ends up polluting rivers. Water pollution kills fish and spreads disease, while air pollution damages health. Governments try to manage pollution through sewage treatment, pollution laws, and enforcing emission limits, but population growth makes controlling pollution difficult.
Bhopal
Rapid urbanization in poorer parts of the world can cause environmental problems due to difficulties managing waste, which is often toxic, as well as air and water pollution. Proper management is required to address the effects of rapid urbanization and industrialization in these areas. While urbanization brings economic opportunities, it also puts pressure on infrastructure and can harm the environment if not properly planned and regulated.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
