1 Learning Checklist Half Term 1 26 th September 3 rd October 10 th October 17 th October Tectonic Hazards Plate tectonics theory. Global distribution of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions and their relationship to plate margins. Physical processes taking place at different types of plate margin (constructive, destructive and conservative) that lead to earthquakes and volcanic activity. Primary and secondary effects of a tectonic hazard. Immediate and long-term responses to a tectonic hazard. Use named examples to show how the effects and responses to a tectonic hazard vary between two areas of contrasting levels of wealth. Reasons why people continue to live in areas at risk from a tectonic hazard. How monitoring, prediction, protection and planning can reduce the risks from a tectonic hazard Tectonic Hazards PLCs Describe the characteristic features of each of the earth s 4 layers Explain the theory of plate tectonics with at least 2 pieces of evidence Describe and explain the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes Define the terms Pacific Ring of Fire & Mid-Atlantic Ridge Explain how earthquakes and volcanoes occur at destructive plate margins Explain how violent earthquakes occur at conservative/transform plate margins Explain what is happening at a constructive plate margin Describe the primary and secondary impacts of tectonic hazards Explain at least 5 reasons why people live in a hazardous environment Describe how tectonic hazards are monitored and managed Define the terms focus, epicentre and aftershocks Recall factual information about a number of recent tectonic events giving information on effects and management Half Term 2 26 th September 3 rd October 10 th October 17 th October

2 1.1.2 Weather Hazards & Climate Change General atmospheric circulation model: pressure belts and surface winds. Global distribution of tropical storms (hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons). An understanding of the relationship between tropical storms and general atmospheric circulation. Causes of tropical storms and the sequence of their formation and development. The structure and features of a tropical storm. How climate change might affect the distribution, frequency and intensity of tropical storms. Primary and secondary effects of tropical storms. Immediate and long-term responses to tropical storms. Use a named example of a tropical storm to show its effects and responses. How monitoring, prediction, protection and planning can reduce the effects of tropical storms An overview of types of weather hazard experienced in the UK. An overview of types of weather hazard experienced in the UK. An example of a recent extreme weather event in the UK to illustrate: causes, social, economic and environmental impacts and how management strategies can reduce risk. Evidence that weather is becoming more extreme in the UK. Evidence for climate change from the beginning of the Quaternary period to the present day. Possible causes of climate change: natural factors orbital changes, volcanic activity and solar output & human factors use of fossil fuels, agriculture and deforestation. Overview of the effects of climate change on people and the environment. Managing climate change: mitigation alternative energy production, carbon capture, planting trees, international agreements & adaptation change in agricultural systems, managing water supply, reducing risk from rising sea levels.

3 Curriculum Learning Details Checklist Half Term 3 Weather Hazards & Climate Change PLCs Describe how the global circulation of the atmosphere affects the world s weather and climate Describe the global distribution of hurricanes/tropical storms/typhoons (places where they are a hazard) 2.1 Urban Outline Issues the & characteristic Challenges features of hurricanes/tropical storms The global Explain pattern how of urban hurricanes/tropical change. storms form and the identify conditions needed for them to form Urban trends Describe in different the primary parts of and the secondary world including effects/impacts HICs and LICs. of hurricanes/tropical storms Factors affecting the rate of urbanisation migration (push pull theory), natural increase. Suggest how countries can prepare for hurricanes/tropical storms to reduce their impact The emergence of megacities. A case study Recall of a basic major facts, city in describe an LIC or the NEE effects to illustrate: and evaluate the management of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 (example) Identify the location the and major importance weather of hazards the city, that regionally, the UK nationally experiences and internationally, and refer to recent examples for each Recall causes basic of growth: facts, natural describe increase the effects and migration and evaluate the management of an example of an extreme UK weather event Explain how urban at least growth 2 has sources created of evidence opportunities: for climate social: access change to services (ice cores, health pollen, and tree education; rings, historical access resources records) water supply, energy economic: how Understand urban industrial how areas climate can be change a stimulus can for affect economic the distribution, development frequency and intensity of tropical storms Describe how urban a growth range of has social, created economic challenges: and managing environmental urban growth effects slums, of recent squatter climate settlements, change providing clean water, sanitation systems and energy providing Explain access to the services natural health causes and of climate education, change reducing such unemployment as Milankovitch and cycles crime, managing and volcanic environmental eruptions issues waste disposal, air and water pollution, traffic congestion. Explain the human causes of global warming such as fossil fuel use, deforestation An example of how urban planning is improving the quality of life for the urban poor. See separate Draw PLC a diagram sheet to explain the greenhouse effect Outline ways we can manage climate change through mitigation e.g. planting trees, international agreements Outline ways we can manage climate change through adaptation e.g. flood defences from rising seas

4 Half Term Urban Issues & Challenges Overview of the distribution of population and the major cities in the UK A case study of a major city in the UK to illustrate: the location and importance of the city in the UK and the wider world impacts of national and international migration on the growth and character of the city how urban change has created opportunities: social and economic: cultural mix, recreation and entertainment, employment, integrated transport systems, environmental: urban greening how urban change has created challenges: social and economic: urban deprivation, inequalities in housing, education, health and employment, environmental: dereliction, building on brownfield and greenfield sites, waste disposal the impact of urban sprawl on the rural urban fringe, and the growth of commuter settlements. An example of an urban regeneration project to show: reasons why the area needed regeneration and the main features of the project. Features of sustainable urban living: water and energy conservation, waste recycling, creating green space. How urban transport strategies are used to reduce traffic congestion See separate PLC sheet

5 Half Term River Landscapes in the UK An overview of the location of major upland/lowland areas and river systems. The long profile and changing cross profile of a river and its valley. Fluvial processes: erosion hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, solution, vertical and lateral erosion, transportation traction, saltation, suspension and solution, deposition why rivers deposit sediment. Characteristics and formation of landforms resulting from erosion interlocking spurs, waterfalls and gorges. Characteristics and formation of landforms resulting from erosion and deposition meanders and ox-bow lakes. Characteristics and formation of landforms resulting from deposition levées, flood plains and estuaries. An example of a river valley in the UK to identify its major landforms of erosion and deposition. How physical and human factors affect the flood risk precipitation, geology, relief and land use. The use of hydrographs to show the relationship between precipitation and discharge. The costs and benefits of the following management strategies: hard engineering dams and reservoirs, straightening, embankments, flood relief channels soft engineering flood warnings and preparation, flood plain zoning, planting trees and river restoration.
