ROCK AND WEATHERING Plate tectonic and landforms: Define tectonic plate and differences between; oceanic plate

and continental plate Landforms produce at plate boundaries; convergent, divergent and transform (oceanic ridge, fold mt, trench, etc)-define terms. Sea floor spreading. Types of weathering: Physical, chemical and biological Affect types of physical weathering upon rocks. Factors affecting weathering of rocks; rock types and structure, vegetation Peltier diagram-how it help in understanding the relationship between weathering and climate Granite & Limestone-characteristics i.e. physical and chemical composition upon weathering. Slopes: Types of mass movement-their effect on shape of the slope -factors ; climate, vegetation, human activities etc affecting formation and development of slopes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ATMOSPHERE: 1. TERMS; relative humidity, condensation, sublimation, adiabatic lapse rate, environmental lapse rate, frost, snow, hail, solar radiation, terrestrial radiation, evaporation, condensation, temperature inversion etc, Energy budget Surplus and deficit at equator and poles-how heat is transfer-vertical and horizontal heat transfer. Global distribution of wind, temperature and pressure-factors affecting distribution. -diagram to show distribution of wind belt. Atmospheric processes (change of matters; evaporation, condensation, melting etc-condition for it to occur) Formation of clouds and rainfall: Air stability, instabilibty-terms, how occur, graphs How lead to formation cumulonimbus cloud and rainfall. Condition for atmospheric stability. Greenhouse effects and global warming: Greenhouse gases, what, causes (human and physical), how it lead to global warming-effects on climate (temperature, precipitation etc) Urban heat island-what, why urban areas warmer than rural areas, climatic differences between rural and urban.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hydrology: 1. know all terms; throughflow, throughfall, helicoidal flow, velocity, discharge, infiltration, groundwater, water table, levees, interception, stemflow, spring, traction, suspension, etc. 2. Types of load; suspension load, traction load etc. 3. know factors affecting shape of storm hydrograph 4. Hjulstorm graph-condition for river to pick /entrain and transport sediment load 5. Flood-prediction and how to limit effect 6. How human activities affect river channel 7. How changes in landuse affect-flow and store in drainage basin 8. Erosion process and landforms; waterfall, rapid, gorge 9. Landform produce by river flood-floodplain etc 10. Braided channel and meanders-what is it, features, how formed 11. Diagram to show river transport 12. Factors affecting-overlandflow, rainfall intensity, velocity etc. 13. Types of flows; laminar, helicoidal flow.
