Geography Unit 1 Revision notes World at Risk – Physical Global hazards can be split into two groups – Hydro meteorological and Geophysical hazards‚ which cause a number of disasters around the world. Where people are already vulnerable because of poverty‚ high population density‚ multiple hazard hotspots occur. Climate Change is a context hazard as it causes a global chronic threat to people and the environment. Environmental Hazards: can be defined as the threat posed to humans and

Contemporary World Geography 1. Briefly discuss each of the causes of climate change as presented in the film. Climate change is defined as a change in the sequence of the weather experienced at a given place. In the documentary film Earth Story: The Big Freeze‚ they stated that geologist before discovered that some parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in gigantic ice sheets. Scientists learned that waxing and waning of these ice sheets are the products of the warming and

The durability of clay has brought forth an immense abundance of Greek pottery‚ a craft mastered by Athenian artists. Archeologists have found hundreds of varieties in creation‚ shape‚ function‚ style‚ and artwork in Archaic vases. The museum has been blessed with one of these priceless artifacts; it is the duty of this establishment to accumulate as much data as possible surrounding the vase. In first identifying technique‚ dimensions‚ and condition‚ as well as describing shape‚ ornament‚ and figural

Evaluate the contribution of ‘attribution theories’ and related research in helping us to understand the way in which people perceive and explain their social environment. The key concepts behind the idea of attribution theories is to question what was the cause why you chose it and what information led you there. [1]Heider in his description tells us that we make judgements based on either internal/disposition causes‚ which are responsible for the motivating behaviour located in the persons

THE CONTRIBUTION OF ATTRIBUTION THEORIES AND RELATED RESEARCH IN HELPING US TO UNDERSTAND THE WAY IN WHICH PEOPLE PERCEIVE AND EXPLAIN THEIR SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT: Social cognition explains the way people process knowledge relating to the social world. One way of judging the social world‚ is by attributing certain causes to particular behaviours. This is done through the use of attribution theories that use past stored information to come to the correct conclusions. Attribution theories help us understand
