A2 AQA Geography 3A Summer 2012

do you think on the short wather questions they'll ask on global climate change? because i swear they've asked that not long ago!?

The Jan 2012 short weather questions were about climate change

both! pattern so far is eq v v eq.........so who knows,my gut instinct is volcanoes but i really dont know!

multic and int.conflict defs to a wee bit on!!

tsunamis and intrusive landforms are both gaps in the papers so far!

Tomorrow is going to be a big day revision wise, I'm going to make notes on everything possible haha. So Tsunami's,intusive activity,climate of the british isles and retailing to come up this year? that's what I seemed to have learnt from on here,at least then i can do some of these in detail last minute.

for weather thinking ITCZ, tropical climate and maybe like causes of tropical revolving storms etc? or anticyclones then linking that to climate of british isles xx

Not really a summary, but straight out of my notes:

SUBURBANISATION – LOS ANGELES, USA
•Background
oLocated south California, West USA
o3.8 million people in 2006
oYoung unskilled workers attracted to the area due to Hollywood and Beverly Hills, film and TV industry
oEffects: the movement of people and excessive amounts of suburbanisation causes urban sprawl.
•Why people moved:
oHome to TV and film industry, so workers have higher paid jobs
oHigher disposable incomes means that car ownership increases so commute to work
oOther services locate here as people can afford to use the service
oHigher incomes means people want larger houses with gardens and garages for family
oIncreased I.T technology allows people to work from home
oCan afford to provide children with private education so don’t have to live in catchment areas
oBetter quality of houses means a better standard of living
oOnly 7.8% in Beverly Hills do not own cars
oCertain races forced out due to migration of another race causes suburbanisation
oE.g. Compton is a poorer district where 28% do not own cars, populated with Hispanics.
When the Hispanic people moved into Compton, the previous race, of white ethnic background moved out. Causes LA to spread further out = Urban sprawl
•Problems
oMore congestion of cars travelling inner city
oPollution :air, noise, visual
oHigher crime rates in poorer districts e.g. Compton
oMore people have moved and located on the San Andreas Fault line which means more people at risk of earthquake
o60 people were killed in 1994 earthquake, 6.7 on Richter scale
oShortage of houses
oUrban sprawl, loss of rural areas, country side and villages. Social segregation, all wealthy in suburbs and poor are trapped.

Hope this helps

Will you be doing a human essay?

Awesome very helpful, thanks a lot and yeah I will, I'd rather do world cities so hoping the short questions for development & globalisation are good! How about you?
