Edexcel B GCSE Main written paper

Okay, I left this message on the other page, so will delete in a minute as it's more relevant to this page...
Whilst doing my revision I've come across a Burgess Model, and I don't have a clue what they are?!?
If someone understands/knows what they are, could you explain them to me pls either via PM...
Thanks

Burgess model is the concentric model of urban land use with the CBD at the core and progressively moving out (like a dartboard or target) through the Zone in Transition, Industry, poor residential (small terraced houses), middle class residential and high class residential on the edge with dormitory or commuter clusters in villages beyond the urban edge.

a friend of mine just brought up that biogas mainly operate along coastal areas. but i thought they can be operated just about anywhere, mainly in farm areas as there is better access to animal waste, and other natural resources? can anyone clarify that?

Biogas is found anywhere that there is access to the raw material ie animal dung. Lots of biogas plants in India.

Hey
Sorry to be a complete pain with all these questions but do we still have to revise tectonics-volcanoes and earthquakes-or not?

Not at all. That unit of work was tested in your DME.
