Year 10 Geography Mind Map
7 Geographical Concepts
Change
Definition: Fast or slow changes. Natural changes or caused by humans. Levels: local regional, national, international, global look at the past to understand the future.
Example: Humans cause global harming global changes how we live.
Environment
Definition: Living and non-living things that make up an area. The 3 things we look at is the way we use the environment the way we change the environment and the impact the environment has on humans.
Example: Humanity has changed the environment into a manmade environment.
Interconnection
Definition: Links between people and places also how we affect the earth and how it affects us.
Example: We rely on natural resources to live; we use them and one day they will run out this will affect how we live.
Sustainability
Definition: How the earth allows us to live here. Earth provides natural resources for use; we need to use then in a way that makes sure they will still be available for the future.
Example: Using renewable resources (solar) instead of fossil fuels (oil) not taking too many fish from the oceans.
Place
Definition: Part of the Earth's surface given meaning by people can be large or small it could be natural or manmade.
Example: Why people choose to live where they do.
Scale
Definition: Things that take place on many different levels (size).
Example: Climate change can be studied at the local level (too many cars in Perth) or the global level (the whole planet is warming up).
Space
Definition: The way things are arranged on the Earth's surface patterns that must be explained 3 main parts: Location, Organisation and distribution.
Example: Cities arranged into suburbs, suburbs arranged into spaces for shops, space for houses.
Mapping
BOLTSS: Everything a map needs.
Legend
Title
Orientation
Scale
Borders
Source
Contours
Definition: A mark on the map symbolising something.
Example: A line showing the depth of 5 cm or so.
Pollution
Water Pollution
Definition: Waste that goes into the water that changes the effects of the water or makes it less acessiable or effecting the water in a way it shouldn't.
Example: Different salts have different effects
Land Pollution
Definition: Waste or harmful things that effect the land in a way that's damaging.
Example: Certain types of fertilisers changes the soil that destroys the land.
Air Pollution
Definition: Toxicins going into the air and effecting it making it different.
Example: Burning Fossil Fuels like coal effects the air by breaking down the ozone layer or making it difficult to breathe due to the gases and effects that coal has on the air.
Environmental Change
Impacts To Water
If gases get into the water all sorts of chemical reactions can happen therefore poisoning the water and making it worse.
Humans sometimes throws junk into the water making it bad for the species causing all sorts of problems.
Impacts To The Atmosphere
Gases into the atmosphere make the ozone layer worse which is the layer that protects us from sun radiation.
Humans Burning gases also effects the air that we breathe.
Types Of Gases
Nitrous Oxide
Fluorinated Gases
Methane
Carbon Dioxide
Anthropocene
Definition: The significant effect humans have on the earth.
Example: Say if the things that we did that caused climate change made the earth hotter/colder.
Impacts To Land
Soil Degradation
Definition: Loss of fertility in the land.
Example: A Farmers land is used too much therefore making the soil worse.
Soil Erosion
Definition: When soil is worn away by nature.
Example: Clearing a piece of land makes it the soil vulnerable therefore making it able to let wind sweep it to take it out.
Ecosystem Decline
Definition: A loss of plants, species and other important things.
Example: If a ecosystem is not suffice it can turn a dessert depending the area which is known as desertification.
