Notes on: - Origin and development of glaciated landscapes. - Erosional and depositional landforms: corries, arêtes, glacial troughs, hanging valleys, truncated spurs, roches moutonnées. Characteristic glaciated landscapes. - Origin and development of landforms and landscapes of glacial deposition: drumlins, erratics, moraines, till plains. Characteristic glaciated landscapes. - Fluvioglacial landforms of erosion and deposition: meltwater channels, kames, eskers, outwash plains. Characte...

Notes on: - Glacial systems including glacial budgets. - Ablation and accumulation – historical patterns of ice advance and retreat. - Warm and cold based glaciers: characteristics and development. - Geomorphological processes – weathering: frost action, nivation; ice movement: internal deformation, rotational, compressional, extensional and basal sliding; erosion: plucking, abrasion; transportation and deposition. - Fluvioglacial processes: meltwater, erosion transportation and depos...

Notes on: - The global distribution of cold environments. - Physical characteristics of cold environments. Climate, soils and vegetation (and their interaction). - The global distribution of past and present cold environments (polar, alpine, glacial and periglacial) and of areas affected by the Pleistocene glaciations.

Notes on: Systems in physical geography: systems concepts and their application to the development of glaciated landscapes – inputs, outputs, energy, stores/components, flows/transfers, positive/ negative feedback, dynamic equilibrium. The concepts of landform and landscape and how related landforms combine to form characteristic landscapes

Notes on: The 3.1.1 section of the specification focuses on the major stores of water and carbon at or near the Earth’s surface and the dynamic cyclical relationships associated with them. These are major elements in the natural environment and understanding them is fundamental to many aspects of physical geography. This section specifies a systems approach to the study of water and carbon cycles. The content invites students to contemplate the magnitude and significance of the cycles at...

AQA A-level GEOGRAPHY 7037/1 Paper 1 Physical Geography Mark scheme June 2021 Question 1 Water and carbon cycles

This is a full-mark essay for the Global systems and global governance module (AQA). It looks at questioning the sustainability of using Antarctica in a globalising world. This essay provides a good structure on a 20 marker. It is also good for notes on this module as it incorporates the Antarctica case study, as well as many topics within this module,

This is a complete and an all-inclusive guide to AQA A-LEVEL GEOGRAPHY PAPER 2 HUMAN GEOGRAPHY MS 2021 Outline the spatial organisation of one transnational corporation (TNC) you have studied. Point marked Allow 1 mark per valid point with extra mark(s) for developed points (d). For example: Notes for answers Allow credit for specific knowledge and understanding of the spatial organisation of any TNC. Max 3 marks if the TNC is n...

AQA A-Level GEOGRAPHY Paper 1 Physical Geography MS 2021. Outline the relationship between the water cycle and the carbon cycle in the atmosphere. Point marked Allow 1 mark per valid point with extra mark(s) for developed points (d). For example: Notes for answers • Increasing concentrations of carbon (and Methane) in the atmosphere has a warming effect on the planet and leads to increased evaporation (1). This can increase rates of precipitation or equally higher rates of evapor...
