Geography is the study of the dynamic physical environment and the ways in which human activity can modify and manage it. Geography allows us to investigate the world as it is today and understand change in the human and physical environment. Key Learning: The course has an equal balance of physical and a human Geography. Some topics will be quite familiar and expand on GCSE knowledge whilst others will offer new and exciting ways of considering the world we live in. Physical topics include the water and carbon cycles, coasts and tectonic and meteorological hazards. The human Geography course has units on globalisation, changing places and population and the environment. There will also be a compulsory field visit that will culminate in the writing of an individual investigation based on data collected on the trip.
