During the year you will study two physical geography topics: Tectonic Processes and Hazards and Landscape Systems, Processes and Change (e.g. Coasts). This includes learning about the distribution and causes of tectonic hazards, and how people predict, and manage disasters. In Landscapes, you will study the processes that create a landscape, and how it may be managed. You will also study two human geography topics: Globalisation and Shaping Places. The causes and consequences of globalisation are looked into, including its impacts on culture and development. In the Places topic, how and why places vary and how they can be managed or regenerated are discussed. YEAR 13 Additional topics studied to those shown above include: The Water Cycle and Water Insecurity, The Carbon Cycle and Energy Insecurity and Climate Change Futures. Questions about where energy and water comes from and issues surrounding sustainable use, inequality and management are tackled. You will also study two further human geography topics: Superpowers and Global Development and Futures. Superpowers involves the study of some of the world’s most influential countries and a look at how these have changed over time, and the role they play today. Current issues linked to human rights, migration and national identity are covered in the Development topic.
