  • Crust
    thinnest layer up to 60km the layer we most know about solid rock layer
  • Mantle
    made of semi molten rock called magma wildest section with a thickness of 2900km
  • Outer core
    Solid and made of iron and nickel tempature similar to the inner core
  • inner core
    hottest part of the earth tempeture up to 5500*c solid made of iron and nickel approx 1200km thick
  • Costal process
    biological- when plants and animal break down rock . The roots of plants can get into cracks and cause them to split rock burrowing animal and worms can wear rock
  • costal process
    chemical- when rain water that is slightly acid comes into contact with the rock causing it to rot and crumble
  • costal process
    freeze - thaw - when water gets into a crack in the rock and freezes. it expands and widens the crack Reapeated freezing and thawing weakens and breaks up the rock
  • coastal landform
    erosional land form = headlands + bays
    1. often occurs at a discordant coast live caltenating bands of rock
    2. Waves attack the coastline
    3. softer less resistant rock is erodes more quickly forming a bay
    4. harder more resistance rock erodes move slowly so is left jutting out to sea
  • Coastal landform
    depositing landform split
    1. Longshore drift moves material along the coastline
    2. a split form when the material is deposited
    3. over time the split grows and develops a hook if wind direction change father out
    4. waves cannot get pasta spil which creates a sheltered area where slit is deposited and mud flats or salt marshes form
  • Collision plate boundary
    two continental Plates forced under each other plates collided
  • constructive plates
    ingeo rock plates make apart as magma rises to the surface of the earth
  • Elements of globalisation
    economic- transnational corporations manufacturing and Transporting good globally
  • element of globalisation
    social - growth of online social networks such as facebook and communication media e.g FaceTime and Skype
  • element of globalisation
    political - organisations such as the united nations making decision beyond national government
  • element of globalisation
    cultural - news and events are spread quickly around the world as well the world wide release of music and films. global tourism also contributed to this
  • globalisation
    the increasing links between countries as a result of the flow of people service capital and goods
  • B the structure of the earth
  • Coastal landform - bay head cliff
  • Structure of the earth
  • destructive plate boundary
    continental plate forced below the op it melts collects magma then t rises
  • Plate boundary conservative
    transforming plate margin plate sides past opposite direction create earthquake
  • plate
    the earths crust is broken up into pieces called plates heat rising and falling inside the mantle it relates a convection currents. the convection current moves the plate
  • why has globalisation accelerated
    Improved trade increased labour and capital mobility and improved technology
  • Switched on countries
    Regions or cities that are strongly connected to other places through products and consumptions of goods and service people and trade
  • switched of countries
    regions or cities that are not strongly connected to other places through the production and consumption of goods and service people and trade
  • Soft cultural power around the world big population powerful military a big country (landscape) lots of economic income example USA china
  • Hard political power around the world use of military force to achieve objectives example russia north korea iran
  • hard cultural power around the world big economy, strong military, large land area, high standard of living example usa china
