Cultural Landscapes
What is perception?
The way people value places in different ways.
What is a convergent boundary?
Plates move towards each other at this boundary.
What are plate boundaries cause earthquakes?
Transformative
Where are most deserts found in Australia?
Central Australia
What is sand pumping?
Pumping sand back onto beaches is this strategy.
What is cultural/spiritual value?
The way different cultures value the land and landscape.
What is a divergent boundary?
A tectonic plate boundary where two plates move away from each other
What is in the middle of an earthquake?
Epicentre
Where does the most rainfall occur?
Northern Australia and along the coast.
What is an artificial reef?
A structure built offshore to reduce wave energy.
What is one example of a spiritual value to landscapes or landforms?
This might differ: The Djab Wurrung people see the tree as spiritually important.
What boundary causes mountains or volcanoes?
These landforms form at convergent boundaries.
What is a short-term impact?
This may differ: People may be injured or killed during earthquakes.
What is one reason Central Australia doesn't receive much rain?
Distance from the coast, high pressure systems and the great divide.
What is a strength of sand pumping?
