Edexcel A-Level Geography Dynamic Landscapes overview quiz quiz

Erosion, deposition and weathering of the crust

Mantle convection, slab pull and ridge push

Coriolis force, gravity and friction at the surface

Subduction, abrasion and plucking along the margins

Risk = magnitude minus the distance from the epicentre of the event

Risk = population multiplied by the magnitude of the hazard event

Risk = hazard multiplied by vulnerability divided by capacity to cope

Risk = vulnerability minus the level of preparedness of the population

Constructive margins, where plates move apart

Destructive margins, where one plate subducts

Hot spots far from any plate margin

Conservative (transform) margins

A stretch of coast, usually bounded by headlands, where sediment movement is largely self-contained

A single isolated beach where no sediment enters, leaves or moves along it at any time of the year

The area of the open sea that lies beyond the limit of any country's national jurisdiction or control

A zone where only deposition occurs and no erosion or transport of sediment ever takes place at all

Deflation and saltation

Plucking and abrasion

Hydraulic action and attrition

Solifluction and leaching

Till is sorted and rounded; fluvioglacial material is unsorted and angular

Both are sorted but till is finer

Till is unsorted and angular; fluvioglacial material is sorted and rounded

They are identical in origin

The total weight of the glacier pressing down on its bed

The speed of basal sliding over the bedrock beneath the ice

The angle of the equilibrium line across the glacier surface

The balance between accumulation and ablation

Beach nourishment and dune regeneration

Building a concrete sea wall along the shoreline

Installing rock groynes to trap longshore drift

Constructing rip-rap revetments at the cliff base

Magnitude has no link at all to the intensity of ground shaking felt at the surface

Impact depends on vulnerability and capacity to cope, not magnitude alone

Larger earthquakes always occur in the ocean far from where people actually live

Smaller earthquakes release more energy than larger ones on the moment magnitude scale

Groynes raise the sea level along the whole of the coastline downdrift of them

Groynes increase the rainfall further along the coast, speeding up cliff erosion

Groynes trap sediment, starving downdrift beaches that then erode faster

Groynes cause earthquakes in the area of coast that lies downdrift of them

A spit

A drumlin

An esker

A corrie

A submarine earthquake that vertically displaces the seabed and water column

Lava flows entering the sea and rapidly heating up the water above the seabed

Strong onshore winds piling water up against the coastline over many hours

Melting of sea ice adding fresh water and raising the level of the ocean
