finding the value of data in a set by examining the data that falls either side of it in sequence

finding the value of data in a set by extending the correlation beyond the known data

areas of the fieldwork investigation where geographers consider the impact their study may have on people and the environment

Fieldwork: Analysing, concluding and evaluating river data

Geography

This unit teaches pupils about how river processes shape the land and affect our lives. Pupils will use fieldwork to investigate downstream changes in rivers and use GIS to analyse flood risk across geographical space. Pupils will also evaluate different methods of flood management.

Rivers: How do rivers shape the land?

Estimating values between known data points

Thinking about people and environment in studies

Match the keywords to their correct meanings.

A steeper line always means a stronger correlation

Data points close to the line mean a stronger correlation

Which statement about the line of best fit is correct?

The closer the data points are to the line of best fit, the stronger the {{}} between the two variables.

Which graph type is most suitable to show correlation?

Where the river flows into a larger body of water

What process involves the wearing away of the riverbed and banks?

A small river or stream that joins a larger one

What is the term for material carried by a river?
