1 How do people use fold mountains? Check your book. You should have: a labelled diagram of the Earth completed homework questions on the structure of the Earth. an explanation of convection currents and the evidence for continental drift a map showing the major tectonic plates diagrams, explanations and examples of constructive, destructive, conservative and collision boundaries. notes (including diagrams) on ocean trenches and fold mountains, with examples and the locations added to your plate map. a paragraph/list explaining how a volcano is formed at a destructive boundary. a labelled diagram of a composite volcano notes on composite and shield volcanoes, and acidic and basic lava

2 Shield and Composite Volcanoes

3 The key idea of the lesson is… By the end of the lesson you will… How do people use fold mountains? People use fold mountains as a resource and adapt to the conditions within them. A c/s of a fold mountain range, the way they are used – farming, HEP, mining, tourism and how people adapt to limited communications, steep relief and poor soil. have two completed c/s for the uses of fold mountains. an explanation of the problems of fold mountains and how people have adapted to the environment. A field sketch or annotated photo to describe the landscape. Case studies: Alps, Andes, Himalayas, Rockies

4 Distribution

5 Problems and Uses

6 Problems of living in fold mountains Poor communications Low population densities (cause and effect) Little flat land High altitude Poor soils, short growing season Cold weather, heavy snow, strong winds Natural hazards

7 Land Use and Adaptions Farming - mainly livestock, used to use transhumance but some terracing low down. Tourism – skiing, walking, climbing Mining – particularly gold mining in Andes Forestry – mainly in Alps and Himalayas Hydroelectric Power (HEP)

8 Andes Case Study Using your notes and the textbook: Answer question 1 on page 16 Describe the problems encountered in the Andes Explain adaptations made under the headings: Mining, Hydroelectric Power and Tourism Make a sketch of photo A and complete question 2 on page 16. Complete question 4 on page 16

9 Fold Mountain Case Studies Using the information and the internet:

10 a) Give an example of a fold mountain range. (1 Mark) b) Describe the human activities found in Fold Mountains. (4 Marks) c) Explain the problems of living in fold mountains. (3 Marks) Exam Question

11 The key idea of the lesson is… By the end of the lesson you will… How do people use fold mountains? People use fold mountains as a resource and adapt to the conditions within them.
