Geology and coasts Explain how geology, tectonics and glaciation developed upland lowland areas of the UK Explain how marine processes including destructive waves can influence erosion rates and coastal retreat Describe the characteristics and distribution of sedimentary (chalk, carboniferous limestone, clay), igneous (granite) and metamorphic (schists, slates) around the UK Explain how sub aerial processes including mass movement and weathering can influence erosion rates and coastal retreat Explain how weathering, climatological (climate), post-glacial river and slope processes can create upland lowlandscapes Explain how transportation (LSD) and deposition from constructive waves can create landforms (spits, beaches and bars). Explain how human activity (agriculture, forestry and settlement) can create landscape Explain how development, agriculture, industry and coastal management have direct and indirect effects on the coast Explain how erosional landforms are created on the coastline Concordant, discordant, joints and faults, Hard/soft rock, Headlands and bays, caves, arches, cliffs, wave cut platform Explain how human and physical processes is causing change Explain why there are increasing risks from flooding because of climate change, increased storm frequency and rising sea level Explain how the UK climate including seasonality, storm frequency and prevailing winds can influence erosion rates and coastal retreat Explain the threats that coastal erosion can have on people and the environment

Rivers Explain how the landscape in the upper course of a river varies with regards to channel shape, valley profile, gradient, discharge, velocity and sediment size/shape Explain how climate, geology, slope processes influence sediment load and storm hydrographs Explain how the landscape in the middle course of a river varies with regards to channel shape, valley profile, gradient, discharge, velocity and sediment size/shape Explain how physical factors influence a storm hydrograph such as geology, soil type, slope, drainage basin shape and antecedent conditions Explain how the landscape in the lower course of a river varies with regards to channel shape, valley profile, gradient, discharge, velocity and sediment size/shape Explain how urbanization, land-use change, deforestation can change a river landscape and alter a storm hydrograph Describe a UK river for a case study question Explain how human and physical processes cause flooding Describe how erosion processes create different river landforms Explain why some rivers flood because of increased storm frequency and land-use change Describe how depositional processes create different river landforms Explain the threats of flooding on people and the environment Describe how transport processes create different river landforms Explain the costs and benefits of managing floods by hard engineering (flood walls, embankments, flood barriers) and soft engineering (flood plain retention, river restoration)

Concepts and theories Explain the differences between urban core and rural in relation to population density, age structure, economic activities and settlement Explain how the UK and EU immigration policy has changed the ethnic and cultural diversity of the UK Explain how UK and EU policies have attempted to reduce the differences via enterprise zones, investment in transport infrastructure and regional development Explain why primary and secondary sectors are in decline and why tertiary and quaternary sectors as increased (in both rural and urban areas) Explain how the UK population has changed because of national and international migration over the past 50 years Make a comparison between two contrasting regions of the UK Explain how FDI and TNCs have increased because of globalization, free trade and privatization

Urban and rural case studies Explain the site, situation and connectivity of London in it’s national, regional and global context Explain how strategies for sustainable living have improved the quality of life with regards to recycling, employment, green space, transport, affordable and energy-efficient housing Explain the different areas of London and compare the function, building age and density, land-use and environmental quality between its CBD, inner city, suburbs and urban-rural fringe Explain how London is interdependent with rural areas and how this has left to economic, social and environmental costs and benefits for both Explain how national and international migration influence London’s growth and character around the city (age structure, ethnicity, housing, services and culture) Explain why rural areas have experienced economic and social changes (counter-urbanisation, pressure on housing, increased leisure and population change) because of its proximity with London Explain the different levels of inequality in London, making reference to employment, services, education and the health of people Explain how some parts of London have declined because of deindustrialization, de-centralisation, ecommerce and developments in transport Explain the challenges of housing, employment, healthcare and education for young and elderly populations in rural areas Explain how London has experienced economic and population growth Explain how diversification in rural areas helped income and economic development, but brought some environmental impacts too e. g. farm shops, B&Bs, leisure activities and tourism Explain how regeneration and rebranding in London has had positive and negative impacts on people (increased population, environmental quality and economic opportunities)

Where did you go? List all the sites Define primary and secondary research Why did you go there? Define qualitative and quantitative data What is your overall enquiry question? What are your supporting key question(s)? What primary methods did we use? Which one collected qualitative and quantitative data? What do you expect the results to show? Why did you use one of your primary techniques? Outline the hazards and how you tried to minimize the risks What were the advantages of this primary method? What sampling strategies did you use and why? What were the disadvantages of this primary method? What sampling strategies did you not use and why? What did the results show you of this primary method?

What secondary methods did we use? Which one collected qualitative and quantitative data? Why was this data presentation method effective? Why did you use one of your secondary techniques? What did your overall results show you? What were the advantages of this secondary method? Is this what you expected? What were the disadvantages of this secondary method? How accurate were your results and why? What did the results show you of this secondary method? How reliable were our results and why? How did you process your data? Overall, what went well with your geographical enquiry? What data presentation methods did you use? If you could do this again, what would you do differently and why?
