1) 1) Use the maps above (LINK) to describe the distribution of coral and mangrove. In your answer ensure that you make reference to:

· Latitude

· Sea areas

· Names of countries

2) 2) Explain the nature of the SYMBIOTIC relationship that exists between coral and mangrove swamps.

3) 3) CASE STUDY.

Go to the following web site and make your own notes on the way tourist development at Cancun has meant disaster for mangroves and coral.

13B Work

Your work for this week and the holidays!
1) Look at your biosphere health map from the Red List and pick 2 or 3 places from the map. Find out why those areas are experiencing a loss of plant and animal species. Be ready to feed this back in a quick seminar when we get back.
2) Open the powerpoint from the link below. Print off the first slide which shows the different threats which affect the biosphere. Find an example from around the world where each of these threats is having an impact. You don't need a different country for each one but make sure you know what a little bit of detail to explain what is happening.
3) The second slide has some of the threats in the middle. Print off the slide and then add in the outer ring the underlying causes of those threats e.g. population rise.

The image on the second slide does not seem to be working so it is this image:

Year 13 cover work - for 13B

1) Using this link: http://www.starfish.ch/reef/hotspots.html add on the marine hotspots to the world map we sketched in the first lesson.
2) Using the information from this website and other research pick 2 marine hotspots - explain why they have been declared as hotspots, what are their key characteristics and why they are under threat.
3) We will be looking at coral reefs and the value of coral reefs in the next lesson - find an article about coral reefs and their value for both human and the physical environment, read it and be ready to summarise it at the start of Thursday's lesson.

Any probs, email me.
