Anyone have any idea for the deserts 15 marker? Usually its just about the Sahel e.g "Sahel can be used sustainably if carefully managed" - Discuss this view. What other things could be asked????
I was just wondering which of the following case studies I would use for an ageing and youthful population... If none of these are the right ones could you possible tell me what case studies I need to learn?
France China Uganda Poland Mexico UK America
& can you please send me any notes on this? Thanks in advance & good luck!
For ageing, I used UK, and for youthful, I used Uganda.

Thank you! including Pharmaceutical companies also like GSK?
I'm not sure about pharmaceutical ones, I would still revise them.
The TNC question was: 'Tobacco transnationals have a positive as well as a negative role to play in health matters in a globalising world economy' (15 marks)
Suppose the question is: Discuss the usefulness of at least two population development indicators. [15 marks]
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is defined as the number of children who die before their first birthday per 1000 births, per year. IMR is a good development indicator as it shows whether a country is more or less developed. For example, UK with a IMR of 4.69 is very low and it shows that the country has good healthcare and sanitation and is therefore less likely to allow for such deaths. Uganda, for instance has a very high IMR and it is an LEDC, accounting for worse healthcare and sanitation meaning that more children will die. IMR is also very effective is working with the Demographic Transition Model and is many cases it correlates with these IMR Figures. For example, UK with it's low 4.69 IMR is in the later, stage 4 of the DTM meaning that the birth and death rate fluctuates.
Migration Rate is also a useful development indicator and is defined as the number of people emigrating from the country of origin and immigrating into the host country. The migration rate may be useful at showing the development of the host country due to many pull factors which make people want to move to it. For example, the Poland to UK, Slough migration has many pull factors such as better education; better healthcare and higher provision of work for educated professionals such as dentist. All of this accounts for the fact that the host country UK; has a better quality of life and therefore people want to live in it. The country of origin, Poland, might have push factors such as an ageing population and less opportunities for people to get a higher salary job.
Therefore, Migration Rate & Infant Mortality Rate are useful at showing whether the population of a giving country is developed or not.
we were told that there aren't any chemical weathering processes in the desert!! this is for hot desert environments right? could you please explain the two?
My teacher has said that oxbow lakes and deltas are likely to come up in the rivers section, and in coasts possibly an assess question on coastal flooding. But I don't really know if they would be the 15 markers.
right, socioeconomic relates to social and economic factors of the area, the ones to use are typically schools, housing prices, proffessions, qualifications, wages etc.
Save crimes, ethnicity (for segregation), type of housing for social welfare. This is probably going to come up, my teachers been drilling us on this stuff. Know your settlement case studies inside out, rather than urban/rural specifically id say, theyve come up before
Do you mind sending me notes on this because I haven't done it at all

Sure
crystal growth: dissolved salts in the water in cracks form crystals as the water evaporates. Further heating causes the crystals to expand, resulting in the rocks being prised apart - eventually pieces of the rock fall off
hydration: certain rocks, especially those containing salt minerals, are capable of absorbing water into their layers, causing them to swell and become vulnerable to future breakdown.
Basically the two revolve around water entering rocks and expanding and breaking them down.
