The Earth
name the 3 layers of the earth
Crust, Mantle Core
This type of energy resource, which includes coal, oil, and gas, takes millions of years to form and cannot be replaced once it is used up.
Non renewable
This type of wave has a powerful swash that deposits material onto the coast, helping to build up beaches over time.
Constructive
This instrument is used by meteorologists to measure atmospheric air pressure, usually recorded in hectopascals (hPa) or millibars.
Barometer
This term describes the things that are put into a factory at the start of production, such as raw materials, labor, and capital.
inputs
What is a destructive plate boundary?
land is destroyed
This renewable energy source uses cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity.
solar energy
This specific process of coastal erosion occurs when air becomes trapped in cracks in a cliff face by a crashing wave, expanding violently and shattering the rock.
Hydraulic Action
This type of rainfall occurs when a warm, moist air mass meets a cold, heavier air mass, forcing the warm air to rise, cool, and condense.
Frontal / cyclonic
This type of industry manufactures heavy, bulky products from raw materials—such as shipbuilding or steelmaking—and is usually located near ports or resource sources.
heavy industry
Name the tectonic plate Ireland lies on
Eurasian
This is the specific term used to describe the trapping of the sun's warmth in the planet's lower atmosphere due to the buildup of gases like carbon dioxide.
Greenhouse Effect
This feature of coastal deposition is a long, narrow ridge of sand or shingle that is joined to the mainland at one end but juts out into open water or across a bay.
Sand spit
These lines on a weather map connect places of equal atmospheric pressure; when they are spaced very close together, it indicates high winds.
Isobars
This term describes an industry that is not tied to a specific location by raw materials or transport links and can set up anywhere, often choosing sites near universities or motorways.
footloose
A dormant volcano is ..........
a volcano that hasn't but still may erupt
Located off the coast of County Mayo, this controversial gas field began production in 2015 and is a major source of Ireland's domestic natural gas.
Corrib gas field
Often found along the western coast of Ireland, this coastal feature is a pillar of rock isolated from the main cliffside, formed after an arch collapses.
Sea stack
This atmospheric phenomenon, often bringing severe winter storms to Western Europe, occurs when the band of high-altitude, fast-moving winds shifts south and intensifies.
jet stream
This key industrial location factor refers to a company's need to be situated near a large population or good transport networks so they can easily sell their finished goods.
Market
Name the theory - where plates move
Continental Drift
This specific type of renewable energy relies on heat generated deep within the Earth's crust, famously utilized by countries like Iceland for heating and electricity.
geothermal
This process describes the zigzag movement of sediment along a coastline, caused by waves approaching the shore at an angle but retreating straight down the slope.
Longshore Drift
In what year did Storm Eowyn occur
2025
This is the specific term used to describe the change that happens inside a factory, where workers or machines turn raw inputs into finished products.
Process
