S4 Revision Assessment WEATHER AND CLIMATE

QUESTION 1 and 2 Q1 (a)Thermometer or barograph or hygrometer (b)A – wind vane B- rain gauge (c)C- wind speed D-sunshine Q2 3 marks for 4 correct 2 marks for 2 or 3 correct 1 mark for 1 correct

Question 3 LocationWeather systemREASONS WHY British islesDEPRESSIONHas fronts (1), isobars value over BI lower than 1000mb(1)getting rain(1) also windy(1) SpainANTICYCLONEIsobars over 1000mb(1) and far apart(1)obscured sky, fog being common in anticyclones (1) I MARK FOR COMPLETETION OF TABLE ONLY!

QUESTION 3 (a)B= Polar Continental C=Tropical Maritime 2KU (b) BENEFITS: plenty of sun to ripen crops/enjoyable weather for beach holidays/good level of income for tourist business in area/less fuel and power supplies needed saving money and less pollution PROBLEMS: shortage of water may cause a need for expensive irrigation of crops/drought can cause water shortages/restriction on water use e.g. hosepipes bans/forest fires and damage to homes

QUESTION 4 REMEMBER TO QUOTE FIGURES! MUST MENTION BOTH RAINFALL AND TEMPERATURE. TEMPERATURE: high all year/above 25 ̊̊C degrees/highest is 29 ̊̊C in July/Aug/there is a small range of temp(2 ̊̊C ) RAINFALL: all year/highest is 260mm in Dec/lowest is 175mm in July/no seasons/ hot and wet all year

QUESTION 5 Forest cut down to make way for roads/animals lose habitats/local tribes lose their traditional land/fumes from vehicles cause pollution Mininng scars the landscape/areas of land become useless/rivers become polluted 3KU

QUESTION 6 SIMILARITIES wind speed is light or calm/ winds circulate clockwise/ few clouds in sky/ spell of settled weather/ mist in morning/ dry and sunny DIFFERENCES- SUMMER: hot weather in summer but cold in winter. Heatwaves in summer if it remains over UK for long time thunderstorms as well. WINTER severe frosts (BUT NOT SNOW!!!!!!!) at night and during the day/ Cold/low temperatures

QUESTION 7 Population increase puts pressure on the land Trees cut down and vegetation removed for housing leaving land unprotected Less fallow land as more food is required to feed the people More trees needed for firewood and shelter so soil exposed to erosion Over cultivation leads soil losing fertility and desert spreads There are no roots to hold soil so it can be blown away Or eroded by animals trampling over it. 5ES
