ANSWERS ACTIVITY 1A - LINE GRAPHS 1. A line graph is often used to show a trend over a number of days or hours. It is plotted as a series of points, which are then joined with straight lines. The ends of the line graph do not have to join to the axes. 2. 14%. 3. 1920. 4. Decreases. 5. 8%. 6. Decreases until 1920 then increases. 7. Easy to read/easy to see trend and compare years. 8. Harder to identify exact data than a bar graph. Can only plot small range of data.

ACTIVITY 2B - DIVIDED BAR CHARTS 1. Divided bar charts are used to show the frequency in several categories, like ordinary bar charts. It is a type of compound bar chart, but unlike ordinary bar charts, each category is subdivided. 2. 4. 3. 1700-1710. 4. 6. 5. 1700-1710. 6. Rush hour. 7. Summarises large data sets/can display several categories in one graph. 8. Requires explanation/doesn’t explain causes or impacts.

ACTIVITY 4A POPULATION PYRAMIDS Population pyramids are graphs that show population structures, i.e. how many males and females of different age groups are in the population. Population structures change from place to place and over time.

These population pyramids are different shapes. Which country has a lot of elderly people, which has a lot of young people?

This country has an ageing population, there is a pension crisis! Old folks homes are doing a roaring trade! This country has a youthful population, there is pressure on maternity services. The population of this country had a higher birth rate in the past. The government has tried to bring this under control.

ACTIVITY 4B - CONT. POPULATION PYRAMIDS Match the population pyramid to the correct country. 4. This country bears the scars of WW2, fewer elderly men than women. It’s also fair to say that males in this country consume too much vodka! 5. This country is growing rapidly, there are lots of jobs in the construction industry leading to male migration. 6. This country has a preference for boys (look closely).

ACTIVITY 6A SCATTER GRAPHS Scatter graphs show the relationship between 2 sets of data. The line of best fit helps to show correlations: positive, negative or no correlation. Correlations can also be strong or weak, indicated by points being close to or far away from the line of best fit. Study Figure 6 and then answer the following questions below: 1.

What type of relationship is there between literacy and GDP?

2.

Name an example of a H.I.C using evidence from the graph.

3.

ANSWERS ACTIVITY 5A - HYDROGRAPHS 1. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

50mm. 2. 34 cumecs. Lag time - the time taken between peak rainfall and peak discharge. Rising limb - shows the increase in discharge on a hydrograph. Base flow - the normal discharge of the river. Size of drainage basin/vegetation/valley side steepness/soil type. Permeable rocks allow water to pass through pores and cracks whereas impermeable do not. Permeable soil/impermeable tarmac. 8. Impermeable surfaces lead to a shorter lag time.

ACTIVITY 6A - SCATTER GRAPHS 1. Positive. 2. U.K./Italy/U.S.A. /Singapore. 3. Mali/Sierra Leone. Scatter graph for GDP and Birth Rate should show a negative correlation. As countries develop and get richer: access to contraception improves, agriculture and industry mechanise meaning there is less demand for labour, women are emancipated, women pursue careers and desire smaller families.

COVID-19 LATEST NEWS AND UPDATES… Public Health England reviewed thousands of existing health records and other virus data to look at disparities by: age and sex, geography, deprivation ethnicity, and pre-existing health problems or co-morbidities. Research the impact of Covid-19 using ‘Information is Beautiful’ infographics.

Take a look at the infographics in this article, in particular hover over the maps to see which regions of the U.K. have suffered the most from Covid-19.

COMPETITION TIME! CONT. CORONAVIRUS: RISK OF DEATH IS HIGHER FOR ETHNIC MINORITIES (BAME – BLACK AND MINORITY ETHNIC) People from ethnic minorities are at a higher risk of dying from coronavirus, a report by Public Health England says. The Public Health England report also found: If you strip out age and sex, people of Bangladeshi ethnicity have twice the risk of death than people of white British ethnicity. People aged 80 or older are 70 times more likely to die than those under 40. Working-age men diagnosed with Covid-19 are twice as likely to die as women. The risk of dying with the virus is higher among those living in more deprived parts of the UK. Certain occupations - security guards, taxi or bus drivers and construction workers and social care staff - are at higher risk. Virus death rates were highest among people of Black and Asian ethnic groups when compared to white British ethnicity. People of Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, other Asian, Caribbean and other Black ethnicity had between a 10% and 50% higher risk of death when compared to white British people.

COVID-19 IMPACT MONITOR REVEALS UK POPULATION MOVES DROPS BY 98% The Oxford Covid-19 Impact Monitor has already revealed how life in the UK has changed since the Coronavirus outbreak: Population movement has dropped by 98% since the beginning of March 55% of Britons stayed at home on Easter Monday. Despite a surge in Covid-19 hospital admissions, overall hospital footfall has fallen by 80%. The least busiest time to visit a supermarket is Tuesday at 9am. 19 million Britons are the most at risk of Covid-19 because of age and underlying health conditions. The flow of people between regions in the UK has tumbled by 76%. 19 million Britons are the most at risk of Covid-19 because of age and underlying health conditions.
