1 Edexcel A Level Geography 1. Tectonic activity and hazards Know the major tectonic hazards Personalised Learning Checklist Explain and earthquake hazards Explain volcanic hazards Apply and know event profiles- Earthquake scales Apply and know event profiles- Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) Apply and know event profiles- Frequency and magnitude Apply and know event profiles- Duration and areal extent Describe convection currents and types of crust Describe and explain characteristics of divergent margins Describe and explain characteristics of Convergent margins Describe and explain characteristics of collision margins Describe and explain characteristics of transform margins Describe and explain characteristics of volcanic hotspots Explain the formation and characteristics of extrusive activity- Trenches/plateau/ocean ridges Types of volcano Explain the formation and characteristics of Intrusive activity- Batholiths/sills/dykes Effects of earthquakes on landscapes Compare key case studies of an earthquake and effects Assess the reasons for living in tectonic areas

2 Describe and explain the impacts of tectonic event- primary and secondary Evaluate key case studies of tectonic events Describe trends over time - frequency and impacts Apply the Park Model Evaluate the coping methods with hazards Planning and prediction Evaluating event planning and prediction (cost benefit analysis) Edexcel A Level Geography 2. Cold Environments: Landscapes and Change Identify the types of cold environment Describe systems analysis and open systems Describe and explain the characteristics of glaciers Explain the Inputs and outputs Assess the frequency/magnitude/equifinality Distributions of cold environments and changing distributions Describe and explain climatic causes latitude/altitude/continentality/ocean current Describe and explain meteorological processes in cold environments Describe and explain glacial and periglacial relationships Describe and explain glacial processes erosion/transportation Identify and explain glacial landforms - erosional Identify and explain glacial landforms - depositional Identify and explain fluvioglacial deposits Identify and explain periglacial processes and landforms

3 Assess the challenges and opportunities in cold environments Comparison case studies in challenges and opportunities Evaluate management methods of cold environments Edexcel A Level Geography 3. Life on the margins: the food supply problem Identify current issues: obesity and food miles Assess food production and associated environmental issues Describe food supply and distribution Explore life on the margins Apply a case study on food security Assess the causes of food surplus and famine Evaluate population pressure Describe and explain the Impacts of increasing global food supply Identify who is affected by food insecurity Assess the scale and impact of desertification Explore dryland ecosystems: Key characteristics and how they are vulnerable Explain food supply issues and desertification Assess management of food supply: Strategies Evaluate aid and need for international efforts Assess sustainable management strategies Edexcel A Level Geography 4. The world of cultural diversity Know key definitions of culture Describe different types of cultural landscapes

4 Describe and explain vulnerable cultures and landscapes Describe and explain impacts of tourism Assess protection and players involved (e.g. UNESCO) Explore geography of culture: Diversity and homogeneity Explore cultural diversity in cities Assess the different attitudes towards cultural diversity Explain cultural imperialism Explore globalisation and cultural diversity Explore global media corporations Assess localised culture Describe and explain consumerist culture and impact of Evaluate different cultural attitudes towards the environment Assessing valuing landscapes Assess environmentalism vs consumer Edexcel A Level Geography 5. Pollution and human health at risk Different types and range pf health risk Scale and patterns of health risk Impact of health on quality of life and economic development Causes of health risk Socioeconomic status and health Disease and geographical feature and links Different models of health risk

5 Pollution and risk Sustained and incidental pollution and risks of Case study of pollution risks Impact of infection and disease on society Different management strategies Range of agencies involved in health risk Can all health risks be managed? Edexcel A Level Geography 6. Consuming the rural landscape: Leisure and tourism Explain the rise of the leisure and tourism Describe and identify the range of rural landscapes Outline the different attitudes towards the use of rural space Explain the conflicts and leisure and toruism activities Outline the value and fragility of rural landscapes Identify linkages between the natural and human world Assess carrying capacities and management Assess measuring environmental quality Outline positive and neagtive impacts on rural landscapes For and against arguments for management Rural management strategies Conflicts between users and managers
