Year 11 - Decision Making Update

Hope you all are enjoying being away from school and are managing to get lots of lovely revision done.

Just a few additional points for the decision making.

I missed tributary in italics so this is the definition:

Tributary - a smaller stream or river which flows into a larger one.

Also here is a link to the BBC site where hurricane formation is explained in an animation. You don't need to know this but I think watching it will help you understand how large and devastating these storms can.

I've also found a link to the BBC coverage of Hurricane Katrina which includes an animation of the storm path and maps of the flooding. This is very good material and worth a look.

Finally there are a few pages on the work being done now to defend New Orleans. This may help with your evalution of the schemes.

Make sure you do evaluate the schemes using the advantages and disadvantages tables I have given you. This is VITAL.

Good luck in your preparations and look out here for an update on Malawi for the second exam.
