Poverty is general scarcity or dearth‚ or the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money.[1] Absolute poverty or destitution refers to the deprivation of basic human needs‚ which commonly includes food‚ water‚ sanitation‚ clothing‚ shelter‚ health care and education. Relative poverty is defined contextually as economic inequality in the location or society in which people live.[2][3]After the industrial revolution‚ mass production in factories made production goods increasingly

AS geography revision Start early…. There is a lot to learn. Use this as your starting point. There is more help available on the geography revision pages of Moodle and also on AQA’s website‚ where you will find past papers‚ mark schemes and also examples of student answers (exemplars). You can buy a CGP revision guide if you would like to (£5 from college) but also on Amazon and from WHSmith. The bits that the CGP revision guide doesn’t have in it for AS Geography….

Running Water • Most important geologic agent in eroding‚ transporting and depositing sediments • Nearly every landscape shows erosion or deposition • Stream- a body of running water confined to a channel that runs downhill under the influence of gravity 1. Headwater- Upper part of stream near its source in the mountains 2. Mouth- A place where a stream enters sea‚ lake or larger stream 3. Channel- A long narrow depression eroded by a stream into rock or sediment • Streambeds- bottom of

To what extent do you agree that river landforms can be classified as either erosional or depositional? Many different landforms are made by either deposition or erosion and there are some cases where they can be classified as both. Erosional landforms are caused by erosion which is the breaking down and transportation of particles from one area to another. Depositional landforms are made when particles are deposited somewhere else. In my opinion I think that river landforms can be classified

Therefore‚ alternatives to these hard structures are strongly encouraged and actively sought by the NPS.” Breakwaters -“Dunes not directly disturbed‚ increases area of dry upper beach‚ may allow new

and cycled by water or wind is known as erosion. Soil erosion can occur anytime soil is bare or exposed and naturally removed by wind or water. This form of soil degradation is a natural process but it further elevated by human activity. Human disturbances of the soil allow for this process to happen more rapidly under natural conditions. According to the University of Michigan‚ whose geologist conducted a study‚ human actions produce 10 times more erosion and move 10 times as many sediments of soil

eventually flow in the same pattern and ultimately‚ will end up in the same stream or river. Why do river shapes vary in wet and dry climates? River shapes change in various climates due to different erosion patterns. In dry‚ arid regions‚ the river valleys are often deep and/or steep. This is due to little erosion on the valley walls as the flowing water will erode the floor continuously‚ digging the valley deeper but not wider. Eventually‚ a deep canyon or gorge will take shape. In areas of high precipitation

The main impacts on the wetlands in the area are associated with historic land use. They include drainage channels and furrows that modify wetland hydrology and reduce their functionality. Eight wetlands in the area were identified for rehabilitation intervention. Concrete and gabion structures are used to stabilize erosion and help to maintain wetland health. The wetland
