Question
Describe and explain the global distribution of volcanoes and earthquakes.
Expert
Teacher
Answer
Most volcanoes and earthquakes occur in narrow belts around the world. These belts are found at
the edges of the huge slabs of rock, known as tectonic plates, which make up the Earth's crust.
These plates are moving slowing because of convention currents within the Earth's mantle. When
the edges of the plates rub against each other immense pressures can build up. These pressures
can be released suddenly as an earthquake. At constructive and destructive plate margins molten
rock rises to the surface of the earth through vents forming volcanoes. A ring of volcanoes
surrounds the edge of the Pacific plate called the 'Ring of Fire'.

Question
What will happen to the world's total population in the future and what problems could this
cause?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
It is very much dependent on what happens to the birth rate and death rate over time. If the birth
rate remains higher than the death rate, then the world' s population will continue to increase. If
the birth rate is lower than the death rate, then the world's population will decrease. If birth rates
and death rate are the same, then the world's population is likely to stabilise. The world's
population has been growing at an ever-increasing rate and it is now over 6 billion. The population
is likely to keep increasing and this could cause some serious problems. However, there could be
a chance that population will stabilise or decrease due to factors, such as war, famine, starvation,
infertility issues, greater independence for women, loss of traditional values, etc.

How has shopping changed from the past to the present and for the future?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
Shopping began as stalls in a market in the past, then developed to local shops around the
country. Local shops have begun to decline in favour of city shopping and, more recently, they
have declined because of the growth of out-of-city shopping. The future of shopping may be
based around the Internet as by using the Internet people can buy goods without leaving the
home. This benefits people such as the elderly or disabled, but also benefits people who do not
have the time to shop.

Expert
Teacher
Answer
Using the rainforest has both advantages and disadvantages. The rainforest is a huge natural
resource. It provides wood for building beautiful pieces of furniture, as well as houses for the local
people. Firewood is needed for cooking and heating. The rainforest acts as a source of food, in
addition to giving important drugs to treat diseases. However, the rainforest is being cleared at an
ever increasing rate. It is being cut down for several reasons, e.g. mining, building new roads,
clearing space for people to live and by logging companies. This cannot continue as many
species of plants and animals are being lost and threatened with extinction. It is also contributing
to global warming and worsening the Greenhouse Effect. The Brazilian government has put some
measures in place to try to control the use of the rainforest.

KS3 Geography 14: Can the earth cope? Ecosystems, population and
resources
Question
How does the changing population of planet earth place ecosystems and resources under
pressure ?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
The rapid recent rise in the earth's population to over 6 billion has only been possible because
global death rates have fallen especially in the developing world. This has meant that more food
has had to be produced often at the expense of the environment. Ecosystems such as the tropical
rainforests and the savannah grasslands have been used to create more food but in some places
this has resulted in their destruction through clearing and desertification. Globally, the clearing
and burning of rainforests coupled with the burning of fossil fuels for energy has led to other
environmental problems such as global warming or ozone layer destruction. We need to search
for sustainable development that will not harm development in the long term.

Question
How can equal levels of development be achieved around the world?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
There are many ways that equal levels of development can be achieved around the world. It is a
complex issue and each factor is linked to another. One way would be to increase trade between
MEDCs and LEDCs. At the moment, trade between developed and developing countries is
unequal. A way to overcome this problem is to make trade fair. The fair trade campaign calls for
workers in LEDCs to receive a fairer price for the things they make and grow. Aid is given to many
LEDCs and comes in different forms. The best types of aid are those which come from NonGovernmental Organisations (NGOs). NGOs are charities and, therefore, countries would not
have to pay back any loans and get further into debt. Aid from NGOs is usually long term, which
means that the money is spent on projects that really help the people, rather than the
government. An increase in trade and development aid could lead to an improvement in the basic
services which millions of people desperately need. In Tanzania, education is seen by children as
the only way they will get themselves out of living in poverty. Education is seen by many as the
best way to get equal levels of development around the world.

Multinational companies involved in the fashion industry, such as Nike, locate their headquarters
in MEDCs but choose to manufacture their products in LEDCs. This is because they are able to
take advantage of the situation in poorer countries in order to increase their profits. There are few
labour laws and so they are able to pay low wages to workers, who will work long hours, with few
benefits.

Question
What impact does tourism have on LEDCs? (Think in terms of the economic, social,
cultural and environmental aspects).
Expert
Teacher
Answer
Tourism has both positive and negative impacts on LEDCs. For instance, there are many
economic benefits to be had, such as creating jobs, attracting foreign investment and generating
foreign exchange. Nevertheless, there may be financial costs, e.g. exploitation of the local people
- they often receive very low wages for working long hours in restaurants and hotels. In addition,
tourism may bring social benefits, including a reduction in poverty, the creation of youth
employment and greater equality of opportunity between men and women. Unfortunately, social
costs may arise, e.g. small communities (villages) may die out as young people move out to find
work and a better quality of life in towns and tourist resorts. There may also be a degree of
cultural tension between the indigenous population and tourists. Tourism can have a positive
impact on the environment by promoting the valuing of environmental resources and encouraging
the preservation of both physical and cultural sites. However, the environment is frequently
polluted with waste from tourists and animals are endangered as a result. Furthermore, there may
be water shortages for local farmers as such a vital resource is being used to fill swimming pools
and irrigate golf courses.

population is increasing rapidly, largely due to high birth rates and falling death rates, whereas
Italy's population is declining and, as a result, the government has offered cash incentives to
couples who are willing to have more children.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are dangerous for several reasons. Although we know earthquakes

exactly when an eruption or an earthquake will occur. Apart from the damage caused by the initial
eruption or earthquake, there are other consequences too, such as a lack of food, water, shelter
and heath care for people. In the long term, people have to rebuild their homes and businesses
and they may not feel safe there any more.

Question
Why is it important to conserve and manage Antarctica?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
Antarctica is a continent that has not been damaged by humans yet. Although it has mineral and
coal reserves, mining is not allowed, so that the environment is preserved. Antarctica has been
named a 'world park' in order to try to protect it. It is important for scientists studying aspects such
as climate, the hole in the ozone layer and marine biology. The research findings are available to
every country, so all people throughout the world can benefit from the results. If the ice at
Antarctica melts, it will cause a rise in the global sea level. We need to monitor what is happening,
so that we are well-prepared for the consequences of this, e.g. inundation of low-lying regions,
loss of wetlands, drowning of coral reefs, loss of species diversity, food shortages, human deaths.

Events that take place in other countries are affecting us more and more. How might we
find out about such events?
Expert
Teacher
Answer
We might find out about these events through various forms of media. For example, major events
are often reported as front page news in national broadsheets and daily tabloids. Furthermore,
many national broadsheets include colour supplements at the weekend, which frequently focus on
such events in greater detail. In addition, major events usually make the headlines on national
news bulletins, both on the TV and radio. The Internet is increasingly being used to report on such
events. As more and more people have access to ICT, they are able to communicate cheaply and
easily with other people throughout the world via e-mail and video-conferencing. Webcams and
satellites may also provide us with clear images of such events.
