PAPER 1 GEOGRAPHY MOCK EXAM-QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1) Define the term of a Natural Hazard? 2)Name the types of Natural Hazards? 3)What are the factors affecting natural hazards? -Answer-1) A natural hazard is a natural event that can cause death, injury, extreme damage to property and disrupt human activities. 2) - Geological (Earthquakes, Tsunamis) -Atmosphere (heat waves, droughts) -Hydrological (floods) -Biological (Bushfires) 3)Urbanization, population growth, flood planes, climate change Climate change 1)Name 2 global effects of climate change? 2)Give an example of Evidence for Climate change? 3)Explain the contribution of Orbital changes to the climate? 4))Explain the contribution of Solar Activity to the climate? 5))Explain the contribution of Volcanic Activity to the climate? 6)Name a human cause? 7)What is the effect of using Alternative Energy Sources? 8)What is Carbon capture? 9)How is planting trees used? 10)How are the International Agreements planning on reducing climate change? 11)How can we adapt to agriculture? 12)How can we manage water & reduce sea levels from rising? -Answer-1)There are more severe storms and landslides. Hotter temps overtime are changing weather patterns & disrupting the usual balance of nature. 2)Sea levels have risen by 19cm since 1900 and expected to continue to rise. 3) The Earth's axis is tilted on an angle which changes due to gravitational pulls of the moon. Warmer summers, colder winters. gases from power stations, storing it in oil & gas fields underground.4)Solar energy is recorded by observing sunspots on the sun's surface. Satellites record intensity of the solar output using radiometers, the data shows it has barely changed in the last 50 years. 5)Volcanic eruptions temporarily cause climate change. In Mount Pinatubo Approx 20 million tonnes of Sulphur dioxide was released. 6)Human activity increases layer of existing greenhouse gases e.g burning fossil fuels, agriculture, deforestation. 7)Energy Sources such as solar, wind or tidal can reduce the use of fossil fuels, which reduces the amount of C02 released. 8)The removal of C02 from water
