Urban consolidation aims to:

• Expand cities outward

• Increase population density within existing urban areas

• Reduce the number of high-rise buildings

• Promote rural living

Urban sprawl is characterised by:

• High population density

• Expansion of urban areas into rural land

• Reduction in the use of private vehicles

• Concentration of amenities in a small area

The Ring of Fire is primarily associated with:

• Tornadoes

• Tectonic plate movements

• Glacial activity

• Desertification

Volcanoes are formed by:

• Erosion of mountains

• Deposition of sediments

• Movement of tectonic plates

• Weathering of rocks

Weathering is the process of:

• Transporting sediments

• Breaking down rocks into smaller pieces

• Depositing sediments in new locations

• Forming new landforms

Erosion involves:

• The breakdown of rocks

• The movement of sediments

• The formation of new rocks

• The melting of ice

Deposition is the process of:

• Breaking down rocks

• Transporting sediments

• Laying down sediments in new locations

• Eroding landforms
