Geography 24 sem 2
Interconnections- Emphasizes that no object of geographical study can be viewed in isolation
TNC- Global companies with headquarters in multiple countries.
GDP - gross domestic product, the total economic income of goods and services produced by a nation.
Stanley St- Became a well known hub for traditional cuisines and cultures, from all around the world, allowing people to get a glimpse of different cultures without travelling.
Globalisation - a flow of ideas, people, goods and services and capital, leads to the integration of economies and societies.
Positives of globalisation - Exchange of ideas, information, world issues sharing, change, culture and help from other countries.
Free trade - An agreement between countries, which allows trade without border restrictions
Reasons for interconnectedness - worldwide technology including transport, communications, trade.
Personal interconnections - Places that you personally connect too e.g house, school, beach…
Personal connections with the wider world - heritage from overseas, culture, cuisine.
Continuous water- flow of water, continuously in circulation in the water cycle.
Renewable - water that can reused. a supply of water that can be replenished frequently.
Non renewable - the supply of water is rarely replenished.
Liquid water examples - ocean water, fresh water, rain.
Solid water examples - ice, glaciers, permafrost, snow, snowflakes
Gas water examples - clouds, fog, mist.
How many people need water? - 7 million people are in demand of fresh water
How much of the world’s water is salt water? - 97.5%
How much of the world’s water is freshwater?- 2.5%
67.7% of freshwater is? - Glaciers and Icecaps
30% of freshwater is? - Groundwater
0.8% of freshwater is? - Permafrost
0.4% of freshwater is? - Surface and Atmospheric water
Impacts of water on the lithosphere- Erosion, creates structures overtime, transportation.
Impacts of water on the biosphere - plants and animals survive on earth, provides food and drink, healthy, recreational purposes, habitat for animals, cleaning, sometimes causes natural disaster.
Desalination - removing salt from seawater - either saline or reverse osmosis
Cloud seeding - Releasing a chemical called silver iodine from cannons or planes into the sky, to clump up the particles to speed up desalination.
Fog harvesting - Captures moisture, blown into nets then down pipes to provide fresh water for the community
Stormwater harvesting - capturing storm water through treating it with many processes to create freshwater for the community.
Condensation - gas into liquid
Evaporation- liquid into gas
groundwater- water stored beneath the earth’s surface
infiltration - movement of water through soil and porous rocks
percolation - the movement of water down through soil
transpiration - water moves through plants, then evaporates through the stomata.
sublimation - turning a solid into a gas without passing through the liquid state
surface runoff- water that moves over the earths surface
precipitation - rain, gas into a liquid
vapour - water in a gaseous state e.g mist.
Altitude- the height of a feature above sea level
topography - the relief configuration of a landscape including it’s natural and human features.
location - distance to sea and its geology
climate change - changing climate of the earth
greenhouse effect - refers to sun’s energy that enters the atmosphere, then absorbed by the land and water, some energy then becomes trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
water catchment - an area where water is collected by the landscape can be large or small.
Latitude - measures the distance north or south of the equator (across)
Longitude - measures the distance east or west. (downwards)
