I think this is needed as we have 2 exams in a row in some time.

Anyways, feel free to ask doubts here. I'll try my best and others will help as well(I hope)

Does anyone have notes for these ?

causes and consequences of rapid
and progressive deforestation-
clearance for fuelwood, subsistence
and cash crop farming, settlement,
timber extraction and grazing; links
with soil erosion and desertification,
climate changes, effect on people
(displacement, lack of fuel)

causes and consequences of soil
erosion and desertification -
removal of vegetation, overgrazing,
overcultivation, clearance of slopes,
poor irrigation; food shortage and
water shortage, displacement of
people

How is water shortage a consequence of Soil Erosion?
Also, why would it cause the displancement of people?

since the soil is gone, people cant farm anymore, they have to migrate

water shortage because since there are no trees, there is less evapotranspiration, so less rainfall, resulting in water shortage. all the water that does come down is lost as trees are no longer there to store it.

Is there anyway to predict the main content of P2 having finished P1? .. Like which sphere to concentrate on?
Title: Re: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DOUBTS HERE!!!!
Post by: SGVaibhav on May 31, 2010, 10:01:26 am
if MORE or some sphere comes in paper 1, it should not probably come in paper 2.

u can check pattern or some 2009 / 2008 papers, to see the pattern.
