• State the 4 processes of mass movement (1 point)

- Slumping, Landslides, Rockfall, Mudflow

• State the landforms created at a destructive plate boundary (2 points)

- A destructive plate margin usually involves an oceanic plate and a continental plate. The plates move
towards one another and this movement can cause earthquakes. As the plates collide, the oceanic plate
is forced beneath the continental plate. This is known as subduction. This happens because the oceanic
plate is denser (heavier) than the continental plate. When the plate sinks into the mantle it melts to
form magma. The pressure of the magma builds up beneath the Earth's surface. The magma escapes
through faults in the rock and rises up in the continental plate and forms a composite volcano.

• State the 4 processes of erosion (1 point)

- Abrasion, Attrition, Hydraulic action, Solution

• State 3 reasons why Nigeria is globally important (3 points)

- Economic Significance: Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa by GDP and is rich in natural resources
such as oil, natural gas, and minerals. Its economic activities contribute significantly to regional and
global trade, particularly in the energy sector.
- Political Influence and Regional Stability: Nigeria plays a crucial role in promoting peace and stability
within the West African region and across the African continent.
- Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa and the seventh most populated in the world. Its
demographic size and diversity offer vast potential markets for businesses and investors.

• State how climate change is likely to affect tropical storms (2 points)

Warmer sea surface temperatures provide more energy for tropical storms to strengthen and intensify.
As climate change leads to warmer oceans, tropical storms are likely to become more intense, with
higher wind speeds and heavier rainfall. This can result in more destructive storm surges, flooding, and
wind damage when these storms make landfall.

• State 2 long term responses to Typhoon Haiyan (2 points)

- The UN and countries including the UK, Australia, Japan and the US donated financial aid, supplies sand
medical support.
- ‘Cash for work programmes' - people paid to help clear debris and rebuild the city.
- Thousands of homes have been built away from areas at risk from flooding.

• What are the 5 air masses that effect the UK (2 points)

- Polar Continental, Polar Maritime, Artic Maritime, Tropical Maritime, Tropical Continental.

• Explain how relief rainfall occurs (2 points)

- Relief rainfall occurs when warm moist air from the Atlantic Ocean rises up over mountains. When the
warm air rises, it cools and condenses to form clouds, which bring rain. Once the air has passed over the
mountains, it descends and warms.
