Water theme 1
(c) Explain how a river landform(s) affects the
lives of people who live along rivers. Use one
or more examples to illustrate your answer.[6]

• River landforms can affect people’s
lives negatively like in Boscastle.
• In Boscastle (2004), over 60mm of rainfall occurred
onto the floodplain next to the R. Valency. This
combined with the steep slopes caused increased
surface runoff.
• The social effects of this were not good. People lost
their homes which lead to them being homeless or
forced to move away. The consequence of this is
Boscastle was like a ghost town.
Theme 2 – climate
Read the following newspaper article about Bangladesh, which is an
LEDC.
QC. Explain why climate change is likely to have a greater impact on
the lives of people who live in LEDCs, rather than people who live in
MEDCs. Use information from this article and your own knowledge to
illustrate your answer.[6]
Climate change and Bangladesh :
“Rising sea levels is one of the most important issues humans will
have to grapple with in this century. The people who will be affected
first live in places with low-lying deltas like Bangladesh. The increasing
intensity of tropical storms and rising sea level are making it
impossible for people to live in some parts of the country. Millions of
people face the possibility of being among the first climate refugees. A
one metre sea level rise would flood more than 15 per cent of
Bangladesh, forcing 13 million people to leave their homes.”

• This can lead to rising sea levels (in the article)
which can lead to flooding. Environmentally this
can lead to the spread of diseases cholera. This
is bad because...
Theme 3 - Hazards

• Technology can be used to reduce the impact
on people in earthquakes.
• Sichuan earthquake (2008) had some deadly
impacts – 69,000 people were reportedly killed.
However, there were many things they could
have done to manage the effects.
• Technology such as laser beams to detect plate
movement is useful because it can give
prediction times which allows people time to
evacuate.
Theme 4 - population
Qc) Explain why many Western European
countries face an increasingly ageing
population. Use one or more examples to
illustrate your answer [6]
Remember to PEE when you answer
this Q…
Point
• The UK has an ageing population because of an
improved standard of living.
Evidence
• The UK’s population pyramid (draw one convex
shape) shows more people are living for longer
due to improved medical care. We also know
this because of an increase in retirement homes
and services for the elderly.
E
• Better medical care means better treatment for
the elderly which leads to an increase in life
expectancy.

Theme 5 - Globalisation
QC) Explain why some people who live in newly
industrialised countries such as India or China
see globalisation as a threat. Use one or more
examples to illustrate your answer[6]
Remember to PEE when you answer
this Q…
Point
• Globalisation can bring negatives for India for
example their links with Coca Cola.
Evidence
• Environmentally Coca Cola contaminated the
drinking wells and left thousands of people
without clean water. They used the water in
their factories to make their products.
E
• This contamination of water lead to many
workers becoming ill and unable to work. Long
term the wells were beyond repair.

• By encouraging girls (and boys) to go to schools
India was trying to meet it’s Asian MDG of
raising literacy rates and empowering the role
of women in society.
