This activity sheet contrasts the sights, sounds, emotions and smells of a watery paradise versus a world with no water. It asks students to consider the differences and introduces a geography lesson on why some countries experience drought while others experience flooding.
The advertising industry is undergoing significant changes over the next 5 years driven by 4 main factors: consumer attention shifting away from linear TV to online/interactive formats, demand for more targeted measurement, growth of user-generated content, and opening of advertising inventory systems. This will challenge traditional players and benefit new entrants. The document analyzes 4 potential future scenarios based on these changes and calls on industry players to innovate their business models, creative approaches, and operating capabilities to adapt.

IB Geography - Tourism management in rural areasgeographypods
The document discusses tourism management strategies in rural areas to maximize visitor capacity while minimizing conflicts and environmental damage. It examines the concept of carrying capacity, defined as the maximum number of visitors an area can support without negative impacts. Strategies discussed include those designed to maximize capacity and minimize conflicts between local residents and visitors in the Peak District National Park in the UK in order to promote sustainable tourism development.

Economic Development - Lesson 1 OCR B Geographygeographypods
The document provides instructions for two outlines about individuals from developed and developing countries. Students are asked to spend three minutes adding details to the outlines under psychological, social, physical, and economic categories to show why the individual would be considered from a developed or developing country. They are also directed to watch two YouTube videos related to affluence in developed nations and poverty in developing nations.
Introduction to Economic Development OCR B Geographygeographypods
The document discusses measuring development and quality of life in countries. It defines development as change and growth that includes factors like health, education, and wealth. Students are asked to compare their life in France to the life of children in Kenya shown in a video about "Glue Kids," and suggest reasons for the differences in wealth between the two countries and ways to sustainably help the children in Kenya.
Formation of tornadoes story board higher - Use with BBC Animation geographypods
Tornadoes require certain conditions to form, particularly intense or seasonal heat. A visible cone or funnel forms within the clouds and extends downward towards the ground. While no two tornadoes are exactly alike, they share common formation traits involving heat and the development of a funnel from the clouds.
The document discusses the Fujita Tornado Intensity Scale which is used to rate the strength of tornadoes. The scale ranges from F0 to F5 with increasing numbers indicating stronger tornadoes and greater damage. Descriptions of damage for each rating on the scale are provided to help identify the strength of a tornado.
The document provides information about natural hazards, specifically tornadoes. It includes:
1) Objectives to learn where tornadoes strike most frequently, which areas are most affected, and how tornadoes are measured.
2) The United States experiences more tornadoes than any other country and identifies states like Oklahoma, Kansas, and Texas as areas that would be visited during tornado season.
3) Information on the Fujita scale, which is used to rate tornadoes from F0-F5 based on damage caused. A factsheet is created to show each level of the scale.

Students are instructed to refer to a laminated map of Cambridge and surrounding areas as they complete the test.
Grand Prix - Sports, Leisure & Tourism IB Geographygeographypods
This document discusses analyzing social, cultural, economic, and political factors that affect participation and success in Formula One Grand Prix racing. It involves creating a graph of Formula One winners by continent to identify patterns in the origins of winning constructors and drivers from less economically developed and more economically developed countries. It also looks at the global pattern of Formula One circuits based on spectators from LEDCs and MEDCs, with specific comments on circuits in the Middle East and a LEDC.
Migration between Mexico and the United States is a complex issue with many causes and effects. Poverty and lack of opportunities in Mexico push many to migrate north, where there are more jobs and higher wages in the United States. However, illegal migration across the long border is a problem that costs both countries millions to address. While migrant workers benefit the US economy through their low-cost labor, they are also seen as drain and can cause social tensions. Remittances from migrants have become an important source of income for Mexico, but migration also creates imbalances like labor shortages and changes to family structure in Mexican towns.
The 1985 eruption of Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia was made deadly due to secondary effects of the eruption. The eruption melted the ice cap atop the volcano, causing massive lahars or mudflows that buried the town of Armero, killing nearly 23,000 people. While the primary eruption was not particularly powerful, a lack of early warning and effective evacuation led to the large loss of life. Lessons from this disaster emphasized improving monitoring of volcanoes to better predict eruptions and evacuate threatened populations.
The document discusses several problems with tourism in Venice. It notes that most tourism is "bite and run" where visitors only stay briefly. This type of mass tourism overwhelms the city and its infrastructure. Locals struggle with overcrowded boats and streets, as well as disrespectful behavior from some tourists. Suggested solutions include implementing small ticket taxes to fund cleanliness, separating tourist and local boat transportation, and promoting less visited areas to spread tourists out. However, Venice must also support its declining local population and control the negative impacts of its popularity and dependence on tourism.
The document discusses tourism management strategies for the city of Venice. It describes the distribution of Venice's primary tourist resources such as natural attractions, cultural sites, and social resources. Secondary resources in Venice include the accommodation, catering, travel, transportation, entertainment, and information sectors. To manage tourism demands, Venice employs strategies to maximize capacity and minimize conflicts between residents and visitors. These strategies also aim to avoid environmental damage.
OCR B Geography Fieldwork Investigation Intructions 2012 submissiongeographypods
This document outlines the methodology for a fieldwork project investigating the need to protect the coastline in Sitges, Spain. The project aims to answer two research questions: whether there is a need to protect the coastline, and if coastal management strategies are effective in preventing erosion. The methodology involves collecting beach profile measurements, conducting bipolar evaluations, taking field sketches and photos, and making general observations. Data collection methods will then be presented and analyzed to draw conclusions regarding the research questions. Limitations of the study will also be evaluated, with suggestions for improving the investigation.

Venice is a historic city located on islands in a lagoon off the coast of Italy that experiences significant environmental threats and mass tourism. The historic city has seen its population drop from 175,000 to 78,000 while receiving around 15 million visitors annually. Tourism brings both economic benefits but also places strain on Venice's fragile infrastructure as the number of visitors often exceeds the carrying capacity of the city. Managing visitor numbers and directing tourists away from the most crowded areas will be important to preserve Venice's cultural heritage and living city status for the future.
