leachate Methane
EPR primary, secondary and tertiary resources & industries
1. Know what Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary industries are and examples for each.
2. Know about Primary Resource – where they come from, why they come from these regions, how mining, forestry, fisheries and farming work.
3. Know about Secondary industries. Where do we make what? Why there?
4. Know about Tertiary industries and why most people now work in this sector (unlike 100 years ago)
5. Know the 7 main location factors and be able to explain how they apply to various industries. Apply it to a place like Hamilton and steel production.
6. Where do most manufactured goods come from? Why from that region of the world?
7. Be able to explain supply chains and various issues in the supply chains for products like aluminum, cow’s milk, chocolate, coffee, steel, etc. What are ways we can ensure there is justice and sustainability in every step of the supply chain?
8. Be familiar with various methods of shipping products – pros, cons, issues.
9. Know about the currents issues concerning recycling in Canada. (Global news articles)
What are the main issues? Why have these issues come up? Why are these issues a concern? What do we do now? Where do the solutions lie when it comes to the waste that Canadians produce? Do you have any creative solutions?
10. Consider resource management, including waste. Know details about the Halton Region Waste Management Site.
11. Sustainability is a significant focus for the world today. What does it mean and how does it apply to our primary resource industries (i.e. aquaculture, use of non-renewable resources, etc.)
12. “Resources are not, they become.” Explain what that means. Give some examples of resources to which this applies ie. A former resource that no longer really is, and something that has become a resources recently.
13. What our Canada’s main resources for export? (refer to PowerPoint notes).
14. How can governments apply either a “carrot” or a “stick” to get people and companies to use resources in more sustainable ways?
15. Recently, governments in Canada have implemented a “Carbon Tax” to help reduce CO2 emissions. Is this a “carrot” or a “stick” approach to sustainability? Do you think it will work? Why or why not? Are there better ways to deal with increasing greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere?
16. What are the 4 categories of Natural Resources? Give examples for each.
17. In your opinion, what five things can a student and the school can do that will increase resource sustainability? Give examples to develop your argument.
18. Why should we care about how we use our resources? List and explain at least 3 reasons.
1. Know the terms from both chapter. Remember, you do not need to memorize definitions, but you should know the concepts and what these terms mean in context. Part of demonstrating geographic knowledge is good use of geographic terms.
• Plate Tectonics Maritime Climate
• Weathering Continental Climate
• Erosion Climate Graph
• Deposition Factors for Different Climates
• Glaciation Characteristics of Landform Regions
• Convection Currents Convergent, Divergent, transform plates
• Coniferous/Deciduous trees Igneous/Sedimentary/Metamorphic Rock
• Wet and dry soil profiles
• Climate regions, Landform regions, Vegetation regions.
2. Know about plate tectonics, fault lines, and why most volcanoes and earthquakes happen where they do.
3. What impact does the Pacific Ring of Fire have on Canada?
4. Know why the earth’s plates move.
5. Know the rock cycle and be able to describe it in your own words. What types of rock have fossils in them? Why? How are Igneous rocks formed? What is metamorphic rock? Give examples of each.
6. Types of rock is a major factor in Canadian landforms. What kinds of rock exist in each landform? As a result, what resources do we find in each landform? (i.e Potash, gold, good farm land, etc.)
7. Be able to identify landforms on a map of Canada
8. What economic activities happen in the various Canadian landforms? Why? For example, why is there so little farming in the Canadian Shield (think both landform and climate)
9. Where did the March 11, 2011 tsunami occur? What caused it? What were the consequences?
What does this mean for people living in British Columbia?
10. Most people in Canada live in the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Lowlands. Why? (think both landform features, climate, soil, vegetation and economic reasons)
11. Why do so few people live in the Canadian Shield?
12. Be able to read and compare climate graphs. What does it say about a particular area?
13. What are the 6 main factors that influence climate? LOWERN
14. **Why do we have seasons? (This is the tough questions we unpacked a while ago)
15. Vancouver and Winnipeg are about the same distance from the Equator, but have very different climates. Explain the various reasons why.
16. Application: Why is the climate in the GTA the way it is? What are the main factors that influence the climate in this area?
17. What does it mean to use resources sustainably? (i.e. Heli-logging).
18. Which areas of Canada have coniferous trees? Deciduous trees? Mixed Forest?
19. Why is soil so important to life? What impact does it have on where people live? Why is erosion a key concern when it comes to our soils?
20. What is glaciation and how have glaciers that impacted the landforms of Canada?
21. Continue to know the map of Canada. Always necessary!
