Here are 4 questions related to the Natural hazards section.
Write down your answers and when you are finished click answer.Some of the questions may involve case studies; you are able to use your own case studies or ones from project GCSE.
1) Explain why the plates move across the earth's surface. (3 marks) Answer
2) Natural hazards may have a great affect on a country. Explain what sort of problems a country might experience shortly after a natural hazard. (5 marks) Answer
3) LEDCs can not cope as well with natural hazards than MEDCs. Using examples you have studied explain why this statement is true. (5 marks) Answer

NOw this Question is VERY interesting for all you Gamers out there
please read the Question1 twice
http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebit...mg/ph05005.gif
Question 1
Explain what is meant by the term half-life.(2 marks)
The Answer
Nivi's answer: 'It means it has lived half of its life, that's why the graph goes down.'
Examiner's Note
Nivi has the right idea - but no marks. The half-life is the time takenfor half the atoms to decay. This question is quite common in exams so try to learn the answer by heart.
Now try another question:
Question 2
Calculate the half-life of this isotope from the graph.(2 marks)
The Answer
Nivi's answer: It takes 6 days to go half way through its life.
Examiner's Note
The right answer. However, it is always better to give as much detail in your answer as possible. This student could have shown their working. For example:
The start reading is 80 counts
Half this reading is 40 counts
It takes 6 days to reach 40 counts.
Question 3
To practise reading graphs further, have a look at the graph again and use it to work out:
- How long the count takes to drop from 40 to 20.
- How long the count takes to drop from 60 to 30.
The Answer
You should have an answer of 6 days each time.

it's not at all interesting, its even less interesting when you get exponentials and logorithmns involved
Re: GCSE (past) EXAMS - can you handle this?
I don't know why gamers would find a radioactive isotope's half life interesting.
Altho' I find it infinitely more interesting than gaming :blink:
