The poorer countries produce and import products and merchandise to MEDC’s at a very low salary. Primark is an example of trading with other countries for unfair prices. From the clothes being made and brought many different countries have been involved Many other clothes companies to this as well. This is known as world trade system

Discuss the extent to which psychology is a science (25 Marks) Science is a discipline in which we objectively obtain data and organise them into theories. All sciences follow a process when investigating anything scientific. First of all‚ inductive reasoning takes place whereby the investigator focuses on the science/concept and the general aspects around it. Secondly‚ a generalisation is made about the concept being investigated and hypotheses are formed. Next‚ deductive reasoning takes place

“The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people.” To what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and seismic events can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically developed countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been multiple examples of where volcanic and seismic events have had an impact on both MEDCs and LEDCs. Some

Plate Tectonics Plate Tectonics The theory of plate tectonics was developed in the 1960’s and states that the earth is broken into a number of shifting plates. Plate tectonics also provides geology with a comprehensive theory of how the earth’s crust moves. In this essay I will explain the different types of plate movements‚ how the plates move and how this movement affects earthquakes and volcanoes. To begin‚ there are three different types of plate movement; divergent boundaries‚ convergent

support life; the reasons behind this fascinate me. Complex processes such as geochemical weathering created an atmosphere where life can thrive. Heliophysical aspects such as the Earth being the only planet in the solar system‚ which is also in the habitable zone‚ show the delicate nature of life itself. I want to study geophysics as it combines my capacity for mathematics and physics‚ with my predilection for learning about the Earth and the physical processes‚ which take place within it.

I am here today to talk to your about earthquake preparedness. During this press release I will be describing the hazards associated with earthquakes in Los Angeles. I will discuss the origin and causes of earthquakes and the relation of earthquakes to plate tectonics and faults in Los Angeles

theory of plate tectonics help to explain the world distribution of earthquake and volcanic zones? The Earth’s crust is made up of seven major plates and several smaller plates. These plates drift on top of the mantle. When two plates meet‚ they can either be constructive‚ destructive or conservative. At a conservative plate margin‚ one plate moves past another. As the plates are not smooth‚ great amounts of tension build up and earthquakes are made when the tension is released and the plate moves

Discuss to the extent which party control limits parliament in performing its main function In the House of Commons there are many parties all fighting individually for control of the house‚ and to be in power and govern the land of the UK. To win the election and do this a party or coalition of parties needs a 326 majority to be able to form a government. This system creates a dominance in the house of commons if that majority is achieved sufficiently‚ as with Tony Blair’s landslide in 1997 where

Alfred Wegener(1880-1930) was the first man to propose the theory gplate tectonics.h He had got a Ph.D in astronomy from the University of Berlin‚ but he was also interested in the other science field such as geophysics‚ meteorology‚ and climatology. He also contributed to meteorology by establishing to track air circulation using balloon. In 1911‚ he read a paper that listed identical fossils of plants and animals found on opposite side of the Atlantic‚ and he looked for more of such organisms

explaining his theory that the continental landmasses‚ far from being immovable‚ were drifting across the Earth. He called this movement continental drift. Wegener noticed that the coasts of western Africa and eastern South America looked like the edges of interlocking pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. He was not the first to notice this‚ but he was the first to formally present evidence suggesting that the two continents had once been connected. Wegener was convinced that the two continents were once
