• completed homework questions on the structure of
  the Earth.
• an explanation of convection currents and the
  evidence for continental drift
• a map showing the major tectonic plates
• diagrams, explanations and examples of
  constructive, destructive, conservative and
  collision boundaries.
• notes (including diagrams) on ocean trenches and
  fold mountains, with examples and the locations
  added to your plate map.
• a paragraph/list explaining how a volcano is
  formed at a destructive boundary.
• a labelled diagram of a composite volcano
• notes on composite and shield volcanoes, and
  acidic and basic lava

How do people use fold mountains?
The key idea of the lesson is
People use fold mountains as a resource and adapt
to the conditions within them. A c/s of a fold
mountain range, the way they are used farming,
HEP, mining, tourism and how people adapt to
limited communications, steep relief and poor
soil.
By the end of the lesson you will

• have two completed c/s for the uses of fold
  mountains.
• an explanation of the problems of fold mountains
  and how people have adapted to the environment.
• A field sketch or annotated photo to describe
  the landscape.
• Case studies Alps, Andes, Himalayas, Rockies

Problems and Uses

Problems of living in fold mountains

• Poor communications
• Low population densities (cause and effect)
• Little flat land
• High altitude
• Poor soils, short growing season
• Cold weather, heavy snow, strong winds
• Natural hazards

7
Land Use and Adaptions

• Farming - mainly livestock, used to use
  transhumance but some terracing low down.
• Tourism skiing, walking, climbing
• Mining particularly gold mining in Andes
• Forestry mainly in Alps and Himalayas
• Hydroelectric Power (HEP)

8
Andes Case Study

• Using your notes and the textbook
• Answer question 1 on page 16
• Describe the problems encountered in the Andes
• Explain adaptations made under the headings
  Mining, Hydroelectric Power and Tourism
• Make a sketch of photo A and complete question 2
  on page 16.
• Complete question 4 on page 16
