Tectonic plates move due to convection currents in the mantle and slab pull forces. There are different types of plate boundaries including divergent where plates move apart, convergent where they move together, and transform where they slide past each other. These boundaries result in different landforms through geological processes. Divergent boundaries form rift valleys and volcanoes, convergent boundaries form fold mountains, volcanoes and trenches, and transform boundaries cause earthquakes. Natural hazards occur near plate boundaries like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis.
This document discusses weather, climate, and climate change. It begins by defining weather and climate, and describes the key elements of weather including temperature, relative humidity, clouds, rainfall, air pressure, and wind. It then explains the major climate types and their locations: equatorial, monsoon, and cool temperate marine west coast climates. The document goes on to discuss evidence that the global climate has changed in recent decades due to both natural and human factors like the greenhouse effect. It may lead to more extreme weather and affect people. Responses to address climate change are also mentioned.
The document discusses various types and concepts related to tourism. It begins by defining tourism and a tourist. It then outlines different types of tourism such as honeypot tourism, MICE tourism, medical tourism, and religious tourism. It also discusses factors that influence the growth of global tourism like increasing disposable income and leisure time as well as investments in destination infrastructure. The document notes some impacts of tourism including positive economic benefits but also potential negative socio-cultural and environmental impacts. It identifies key stakeholders involved in tourism development and discusses the importance of sustainable tourism.
The document discusses the strengths and limitations of locals and tourists in protecting tourist areas. For locals, community-based tourism provides jobs and business opportunities, as seen in a village in Java. However, locals may lack skilled labor to manage tourism's impacts. For tourists, their spending supports conservation, but they can damage areas through littering and vandalism. Overall, locals play a largely effective role, but would benefit from training to improve conservation skills.
This document provides an overview of topics covered in an elective geography exam, including:
1. Forming and testing hypotheses about tourism relationships.
2. Designing surveys, identifying limitations, and making improvements to data collection methods.
3. Representing and analyzing data using graphs, charts, and maps to identify trends in tourism numbers and flows over different time periods and locations.
An earthquake is caused by the sudden release of energy along fault lines, generating seismic waves. Major earthquakes can trigger hazardous events like tsunamis, which are massive sea waves that cause extensive damage and loss of life when they reach coastal areas. Living in earthquake and tsunami prone zones presents many risks such as property destruction, disruption of basic services, fires, landslides, and loss of lives.
- An earthquake is a vibration in the earth's crust caused by the sudden release of stored energy in rocks along fault lines.
- Factors like population density, level of preparedness, distance from the epicenter, time of occurrence, and soil type determine the extent of damage from an earthquake in addition to its magnitude.
- Earthquakes can cause hazards like disruption of services, destruction of property, landslides, destruction of infrastructure, loss of life, fires, and tsunamis.
The document discusses the risks and benefits of living near volcanic areas. It describes some key risks such as destruction from volcanic materials, landslides, pollution and effects on weather. It also outlines some benefits including fertile volcanic soil which supports agriculture, building materials and precious minerals, tourism attractions, and geothermal energy. While there are benefits, the document argues that there are more risks compared to benefits of living in volcanic areas, given the threats posed by potential eruptions. Proper management is needed to mitigate the risks and leverage the resources volcanoes provide.
The document discusses a REC that was cancelled on March 10th and rescheduled for either March 18th or 19th from 10am to 12pm at Xinnovate on the topic of convergent plate boundaries. It provides examples of transform plate boundaries like the San Andreas Fault in California and North Anatolian Fault in Turkey, describing how an earthquake in 1906 along the San Andreas Fault caused several hundred kilometers of the North American Plate to shift up to 7 meters in under a minute due to stresses building up and releasing where the Pacific and North American Plates slide past each other.
The document discusses transform plate boundaries and provides examples of the San Andreas Fault in the United States and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. It notes that at transform boundaries, plates slide past each other building stress until an earthquake occurs. It then provides details about a 1906 earthquake in California on the San Andreas Fault that caused hundreds of kilometers of movement between tectonic plates in under a minute. The document asks how future plate movement might affect two nearby cities.
Convergent plate boundaries occur where tectonic plates move towards one another. There are three main types:
1) Oceanic-oceanic, where two oceanic plates collide and one subducts under the other, forming ocean trenches.
2) Oceanic-continental, where an oceanic plate subducts under a continental plate, pushing up mountains.
3) Continental-continental, where collision resists subduction and the plates break and fold, forming mountains.
- The document discusses plate tectonics topics including oceanic-oceanic divergence and continental-continental divergence.
- Oceanic-oceanic divergence involves two oceanic plates moving apart, causing magma to rise and form new sea floor through sea-floor spreading, creating a mid-ocean ridge.
- Continental-continental divergence can form rift valleys as the land between diverging continental plates sinks, such as the East African Rift Valley, and may eventually lead to the formation of new oceans.
1) Oceanic plates diverge from each other at mid-ocean ridges. Magma rises from the mantle to fill the gap between separating plates, cooling to form new ocean crust. The youngest ocean crust is closest to the ridge.
2) Continental plates can diverge, resulting in rift valleys like East Africa's Great Rift Valley. The stretched crust fractures and the land between sinks, forming a low-lying valley. Continental divergence can also form seas like the Red Sea.
3) Faulting occurs as the crust fractures along tensional forces during plate divergence. Rift valleys form along fault lines, and block mountains are uplifted crustal blocks surrounded by sinking land.
1. The document discusses natural hazards and tectonic plate movement. It defines a natural hazard as a natural event that threatens lives and property. Examples given are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis.
2. It describes the internal structure of the Earth, including the lithosphere which comprises the crust and upper mantle, and tectonic plates which are pieces of the lithosphere that move in relation to one another.
3. The causes of tectonic plate movements are explained as being due to convection currents in the mantle driven by heat from the Earth's core, and the slab-pull force exerted by subducting plates pulling the other plates along.
Singapore implemented three national responses to climate change: 1) The Singapore Green Plan 2012 aims to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. 2) The Green Mark Scheme promotes the construction of green buildings. 3) The Plant-A-Tree programme plants more trees to increase carbon sequestration.
India also enacted three national climate change initiatives: 1) The National Urban Transport Policy emphasizes developing public transportation to reduce vehicles. 2) The Energy Labelling Programme informs consumers about appliance energy efficiency. 3) The Indian Network of Climate Change Assessment promotes domestic climate change research.
In 2004, Nepal and Bhutan experienced malaria and dengue fever for the first time. The increased rainfall and temperature due to climate change creates favorable conditions for insect vectors to breed in new areas, allowing diseases to spread to places they had not been seen before. Heat waves, floods, droughts, and tropical cyclones have increased in frequency in recent decades due to higher land and sea surface temperatures generating more water vapor and irregular weather patterns. Sea levels are rising as warmer temperatures cause water to expand and glaciers to melt, threatening low-lying islands and coastlines with inundation. Changing climates are lengthening the growing seasons of some crops in colder regions now made suitable for agriculture, but shortening seasons in traditionally cooler
International and national responses to climate change include agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Conference. The Kyoto Protocol, agreed in 1997, set binding emissions reduction targets for developed countries and allowed for carbon trading mechanisms. While some countries met their Kyoto targets, emissions still increased globally due to nonparticipation of major emitters. The 2009 Copenhagen Conference aimed to improve on Kyoto but lacked concrete plans and its non-binding agreement was not adopted by all countries.
Locals and tourists can effectively protect tourist areas through community-based tourism and spending. For example, in Java, Indonesia, a village benefited from new jobs and businesses due to tourism. However, locals may lack skills to manage tourism impacts and tourists can damage attractions through littering and vandalism. Overall, locals protect areas well but should improve skills training with help from organizations.
