A Level Physical Geography Notes

What is an Earthquake? An earthquake is described as the shaking or vibration of the tectonic plates which float on the mantle. Some earthquakes are tiny in magnitude, while others can cause colossal disasters. Throughout history, earthquakes are responsible for many catastrophes, but due to our advance technology developments, we can reduce some of the … Read more

What is the Water Balance? The water balance influences how much water is put away in a framework. The general water balance in the UK shows rare examples. In wet seasons precipitation is more noteworthy than evapotranspiration, which makes a water excess. Ground stores load up with water, which brings about expanded surface overflow, higher … Read more

What is River Discharge? The discharge of a river (or stream) is the volume of water that streams past a point in the river’s course every second. The volume is estimated in cubic meters (m3), and it is every second, so the units of discharge are cubic meters a second or m3s-1. Unintentionally, 1m3s-1 is … Read more

Waste Systems  Improvement of Streams – Streamflow starts when water is added to the surface from precipitation, dissolving snow, and groundwater. Waste frameworks create to move water off the land proficiently. Streamflow starts as a moving sheet wash, which is a weak surface layer of water. The water descends the steepest slant and begins to … Read more

Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI)  Some volcanic emissions are thousands, or even a million times more unstable than others.  Volcanic explosivity record  Volcanic explosivity record: The circles in the representation above speak to the volume of ejected tephra for probably the most broadly known hazardous volcanic emissions. Albeit a great many people accept that Vesuvius (79 … Read more

What is Braided Channel? Braided rivers structure significant subjects of study for some researchers, and one of the essential points of this volume is to unite work from numerous controls in an incorporated way to deal with braided rivers. For the geomorphologist, braided fluvial frameworks are bounteous inside upland and professional icy settings and are … Read more

What is Coastal Protection? Erosion is a genuine issue nowadays—coasts all around the globe are vulnerable to loss of land because of erosion. A portion of the world’s most exquisite beaches are losing their mass of sand. Islands are becoming smaller because water waves strike the sand-filled beaches and take a small portion of sand … Read more

What are Landforms of Deposition? Some coastal regions are ruled by erosion; a model is the Pacific coast of Canada and the United States. In contrast, others are commanded by deposition, models being the Atlantic and Caribbean coasts of the United States. In any case, on practically all coasts, both deposition and erosion are going … Read more

What are Levees? Living close to water is a great thing—aside from when there is a flood. So, individuals fabricate levees. A levee is a characteristic or fake divider that squares water from going where we do not need it to go. Levees might be utilized to increment accessible land for residence or redirect a … Read more

What are Plates? From the most significant ocean channel to the tallest mountain, plate tectonics explains the features and improvement of Earth’s surface in the present and the past.  Plate tectonics is the theory that Earth’s outside shell is isolated into a couple of plates that drift over the mantle, the harsh internal layer over … Read more
