Geography 26 EOY

☐ Types of Energy Resources – Understand different renewable energy sources (wind, hydro, solar, geothermal).

☐ Assessing Renewable Energy Sites – Know factors that affect a good location for renewable energy development (e.g., climate, land use, environmental impact).

☐ Disadvantages of Renewable Energy – Be able to suggest potential downsides (e.g., impact on wildlife, cost, space requirements).

☐ Advantages of Nuclear Power – Understand why nuclear power is considered beneficial (e.g., low carbon emissions, high energy output).

☐ Disadvantages of Fracking – Identify negative impacts (e.g., environmental damage, water contamination, earthquakes).

Section 2: River Landscapes

☐ Heavy Rainfall & Flooding – Explain how rainfall contributes to flooding (e.g., surface runoff, saturation of soil).

☐ Waterfall Retreat & Erosion – Understand erosion processes (hydraulic action, abrasion) and how they cause waterfall retreat.

The parts of the drainage basin

Section 3: Coastal Landscapes

☐ Sediment Transport Methods – Know key methods (e.g., longshore drift, traction, saltation, suspension).

☐ Erosion Processes – Identify different types (e.g., hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition, solution).

☐ Coastal Landforms by Deposition – Be familiar with features like beaches, spits, and tombolos.

☐ Destructive Waves & Erosion – Explain how these waves increase coastal erosion (e.g., strong backwash, high energy).

How vase, arches, stacks and stumps form

Section 4: Globalisation

☐ Key Definitions – Understand terms like globalisation, deindustrialisation, transnational corporations (TNCs), containerisation, development, and fair trade.

☐ Industrial Change in the UK (1800-2015) – Be able to describe shifts in the economy (e.g., decline of manufacturing, rise of service industries).

☐ Reasons for Industrial Change in the UK – Know factors that influenced change (e.g., globalisation, automation, outsourcing).

☐ Advantages & Disadvantages of TNCs – List economic, social, and environmental pros and cons of multinational corporations.

☐ TNC Impact on Developing Countries – Form a balanced argument on whether TNCs benefit countries like India, using case study examples.
