AQA GCSE Geography 2024
questions and verified answers
with guaranteed pass graded A+
Hazard Risk - ANSWER-The probability or chance that a
natural hazard may take place
Biodiversity - ANSWER-The variety of life in the world or
a particular habitat
Commercial Farming - ANSWER-Farming to sell produce
for a profit to retailers or food processing companies
Debt Reduction - ANSWER-Countries are relieved of
some of their debt in return for protecting their
rainforests
,Deforestation - ANSWER-The chopping down and
removal of trees to clear an area of forest
Natural Hazard - ANSWER-A natural event (for example
an earthquake, volcanic eruption, tropical storm, flood)
that threatens people or has the potential to cause
damage, destruction and death
Conservative Plate Margin - ANSWER-Tectonic plate
margin where two tectonic plates slide past each other
Constructive Plate Margin - ANSWER-Tectonic plate
margin where rising magma adds new material to plates
that are diverging or moving apart
Destructive Plate Margin - ANSWER-Tectonic plate
margin where two plates are converging or coming
together and oceanic plate is subducted; it can be
associated with violent earthquakes and explosive
volcanoes
,Earthquake - ANSWER-A sudden or violent movement
within the Earth's crust followed by a series of shocks
Monitoring - ANSWER-Recording physical changes, such
as earthquake tremors around a volcano, to help forecast
when and where a natural hazard might strike
Plate Margin - ANSWER-The margin or boundary
between two tectonic plates
Planning - ANSWER-Actions taken to enable communities
to respond to, and recover from, natural disasters,
through measures such as emergency evacuation plans,
information management, communications and warning
systems
Prediction - ANSWER-Attempts to forecast when and
where a natural hazard will strike, based on current
knowledge; this can be dome to some extent for volcanic
eruptions (and tropical storms), but less reliably for
earthquakes
, Primary Effects - ANSWER-The initial impact of a natural
event on people and property, caused directly by it, for
instance the ground buildings collapsing following an
earthquake
LIC - ANSWER-Low income country- this subdivision of
countries is based on the world bank income
classifications (GNI per capita) which in 2013 were $1045
or below
HIC - ANSWER-High income country- this subdivision of
countries is based on the world bank income
classifications (GNI per capita) which in 2013 were
$12746 or above
Tectonic Hazard - ANSWER-A natural hazard caused by
movement of tectonic plates (including volcanoes and
earthquakes)
Tectonic Plate - ANSWER-A rigid segment of the Earth's
crust which can 'float' across the heavier, semi-molten
rock below; continental plates are less dense, but thicker
than oceanic plates
