This section is currently under construction. Key Stage Wiki is looking for contributors to accelerate the process of creating the Geography curriculum pages.

Physical Geography

Natural Hazards

Tectonic Hazards

- examples of tectonic events, causes, consequences and response to include poor and rich in contrast, why don't people move, reducing risks,

Weather Hazards

- examples needed, monitoring, prediction, protection and planning - extreme weather events in UK - causes, impact, management strategies

Climate Change

Ecosystems around the World

Tropical Rainforests

Deciduous Woodlands

Hot Deserts

Polar Environments

The Changing Physical Landscapes in the UK

Coastal Landscapes in the UK

River Landscapes in the UK

Glacial Landscapes in the UK

Human Geography

Urbanisation

Changing Cities

Major UK Cities

case studies of major uk cities to include location, regional, national and international importance. impact of migration on growth and city character - how urban change has created opportunities including social and economic; cultural mix, recreation, entertainment, employment, integrated transport systems, and including environmental; urban greening. - how urban change has created challenges including social and economic; urban deprivation, housing inequality, education, health and employment and including environmental; dereliction, brownfield and greenfield development, waste disposal and including the impact of urban sprawl on the rural-urban fringe, and satellite towns (commuter settlements). - example of urban regeneration project including reason it was needed and the main features of the project.

Major Cities in the Developing World

case studies to include location, regional, national and international importance, cause of growth. - how it created opportunities including social opportunities; health, education, resources water, energy, economic opportunities; industrial areas and economic development. - creation of challenges including; managing urban growth, slums, squatter settlements, providing clean water, sanitation, energy, health services, education, reducing unemployment and crime, environmental issues; waste disposal, air+water pollution, traffic congestion. - example of how urban planning has improved life for urban poor.

Urban Issues and Challenges


Global Development

More Economically Developed Countries

NB: Depending on exam board this may be HIC (High Income Country), AC (Advanced Country) or Developed Country.

Less Economically Developed Countries

NB: Depending on exam board this may be LIC (Low Income Country), LIDC (Low Income Developing Country) or Developing Country.

include top down and bottom up strategies

Emerging Markets

NB: Depending on exam board this may be NEE (Newly Emerging Economy), EDC (Emerging and Developing Country) or Emerging Country.

  • Emerging Market - case study - location and importance regionally and globally, political, social, cultural and environmental context - changing industrial structure, link between manufacturing and economic development - role of transnational corporations including advantages and disadvantages - international trade - international aid including types and impact - environmental impact of development - quality of life and development.
  • Economic Development - environmental impact, quality of life, link to manufacturing
  • Manufacturing
  • Transnational Corporation - advantages and disadvantages
  • International Trade
  • International Aid - types and impact on recipients
