FULL SET OF NOTES ON TECHTONICS 2012 AQA GEOGRAPHY FULL SET OF NOTES ON TECHTONICS 2012 AQA GEOGRAPHY TECHTONICS | TOPICS | UNDERSTOOD/COVERED? | PLATE MOVEMENT | | SEISMICITY | | VULCANICITY | | These notes were copied from an AQA textbook. They contain EVERYTHING you need to know for the exam for the tectonics section. You WILL however‚ need to use your own case studies as these are not included. You will need 2 case studies for volcanoes‚ and 2 case studies for earthquakes

Germ Theory The germ theory began in the late 1880s and began as the understanding that organisms beyond the view of man could exist. Bacteria were the first found microscopic items‚ and took a decade to prove. Job Lewis Smith‚ a pediatric doctor in the late nineteenth century began studying outbreaks of cholera. No other doctors were able to explain why the children were getting ill. He worked in the slums of New York and blamed the unsanitary conditions for many diseases. This was during a

Recording the Earth’s Seismic Activity In general‚ the map that contained all the earthquake distributions mostly had shallow quakes spread around. Deep quakes on the map were a lot less common. I would estimate that about 85%-90% of the earthquakes were shallow quakes. There were only three earthquakes on the map that had a magnitude of 7.0 or greater. The earthquakes that appeared to have occurred along spreading zones made up about 80% of the earthquakes on the map. Earthquakes that have

nursing‚ she proposed that the goal of nursing was promoting patient adaptation. Johnson encouraged her to develop her concept of adaptation as a framework for nursing‚ throughout the course of her master’s program. Von Vertalanffy’s use of systems theory was a key component in the early concept of the model‚ as was the work of Helson. Helson defined adaptation as the process of responding positively to environmental changes‚ and then went on to describe three types of stimuli‚ those being focal‚

Drivers who are on their p-plates are often involved in horrifying crash statistics and are perceived as reckless‚ irresponsible and foolish drivers. Statistics show that 26 per cent of all road fatalities are p-plate drivers‚ and that a driver with a p1 license is four times more likely to be involved in a fatal crash than a driver over

Outline and evaluate learning theory as an explanation of attachment. Classical conditioning - Before attachment is learned‚ the infant gains pleasure through being fed. Food is the unconditioned stimulus and pleasure is the unconditioned response. When the infant is being fed‚ the infant associates the person providing the food with the food. The primary caregiver is the neutral stimulus‚ which becomes associated with food (the unconditioned stimulus). When the attachment has been learned

Volcanic activity can present a hazard to people and property in various ways and with varying degrees of severity. Whether or not these represent a significant danger to people is dependant on how well prepared the area surrounding the volcano is. The level of preparation is often linked to the overall wealth of the country which the hazard is in. This also impacts how effectively the volcanic even is managed before and after the eruption takes place. The timing of an eruption throughout the day

describe and assess the language ability of an individual‚ but also to construct extensive theory of language test performance. And all language tests are not of the same kind. They differ mainly in terms of design (method) and purpose. According to the purpose of tests‚ there are placement‚ diagnostic‚ aptitude‚ proficiency and achievement tests. In this paper‚ we would like to focus on the achievement tests only. 1. Definition of achievement test: In the

Microbiology Instructor: Dirk VandePol Date: 6/21/2013 Streak Plate Isolation for Obtaining Pure Culture 1. When an agar plate is inoculated‚ why is the loop sterilized after the initial inoculation in put on? Ans: We use agar plate to inoculate microbes by zipping the loop on the agar several times. We streak on the agar plate four time‚ propose is to isolate the unknown bacteria. Therefore‚ the first time to streak on the plate‚ there are million of bacteria on the loop. For that reason‚

differences between conceptions of intelligence around the world. Due to this‚ there have been many different methods used to measure intelligence over the years‚ from Binet & Simon’s (1911) intelligence test‚ to Gardner’s (1983) multiple intelligence theory. One of the more accepted and universally used methods designed to test intelligence is the intelligence quotient (IQ) test‚ developed by William Stern in 1912‚ an idea used by many other intelligence researchers. In 1981‚ when reviewing intelligence
