These differ depending on the exam paper that is being sit, and are listed in the summary of the topics so you know the differences:  \n• AO1: Demonstrate knowledge of locations, places, processes, environments and different scales (15%) .  \n• AO2: Demonstrate geographical understanding of:  \no concepts and how they are used in relation to places, environments and processes;  \no the interrelationships between places, environments and processes (25%) .  \n• AO3: Apply knowledge and understanding to interpret, analyse and evaluate geographical information and issues to make judgements (35%, including 10% applied to fieldwork context(s)) .  \n• AO4: Select, adapt and use a variety of skills and techniques to investigate questions and issues and communicate findings (25%, including 5% used to respond to fieldwork data and context(s)) .  \nWhat topics does my child sit exams in?  \n\n| Paper 1 – Living with the Physical Environment | Paper 2 – The Challenge of Human Environments | Paper 3 – Geographical Applications |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| • The Challenge of Natural Hazards\u003Cbr>• The Living World\u003Cbr>• The Physical Landscape of the UK -coasts & glacial landscapes | • Urban Issues and Challenges\u003Cbr>• The Changing Economic World\u003Cbr>• The Challenge of Resource Management-Food | A synoptic paper were students draw together knowledge, understanding and skills from the full course of study.

Please see an outline of what your child needs to be comfortable on. This can help them track what they have revised and what they still need to go over.  \nTo use these lists effectively, your child should read through the list and use the following code to rate how confident they are on each part:  \nRed (R) = Not at all confident on this topic, definitely need to revise and need some help from my teacher. Must be a priority.  \nAmber (A) = Revision and exam practice needed to improve and secure my understanding of this topic.  \nGreen (G) = I know this well, quite confident I’d get full marks on questions worth 1 – 3 marks and could explain it to someone else.  \n\n| Paper 1 Living with the physical environment | R | A | G | Links |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| The challenge of natural hazards |  |  |  |  |\n| Tectonic hazards |  |  |  |  |\n| Describe and explain the distribution of earthquakes and volcanoes |  |  |  | The challenge of natural hazardsGCSE GeographyBBC Bitesize |\n| Explain the processes involved in plate movement; Constructive |  |  |  |  |\n| Explain the processes involved in plate movement; Destructive |  |  |  |  |\n| Explain the processes involved in plate movement; conservative |  |  |  |  |\n| Assess and compare the impacts of an earthquake in two contrasting areas of the world (LIC/HIC) |  |  |  |  |\n| Assess and compare the responses to an earthquake in two contrasting areas of the world (LIC/HIC) |  |  |  |  |\n| Explain why people choose to live in tectonically active areas |  |  |  |  |\n| Examine how countries are reducing the risk of tectonic hazards via planning, predicting and preparing |  |  |  |  |\n| Weather hazards |  |  |  |  |\n| Describe and explain the global atmospheric circulation (temperate, desert and tropical climates) |  |  |  | GCSE AQA Geography Revision Quiz Based on Past Papers-BBC Bitesize |\n| Describe th","cbCaitDhF5HFHMQI","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitDhF5HFHMQI","pdf",328286,1,8,"English","en",105,"# What Geography specification does my child do?\n# What is my child assessed in?\n## Assessment Objectives (AO1–AO4)\n# What topics does my child sit exams in?\n## Paper 1 – Living with the Physical Environment\n## Paper 2 – The Challenge of Human Environments\n## Paper 3 – Geographical Applications\n# What does my child need to know for each paper?\n## Using the Red/Amber/Green confidence code\n## Topic checklist (Paper 1 example)","[{\"question\":\"Which AQA GCSE Geography grades and specification does the guide cover?\",\"answer\":\"It covers the AQA GCSE Geography grades 1–9.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four Assessment Objectives (AO1–AO4) and how do they differ?\",\"answer\":\"The guide describes AO1 as knowledge of locations/places/processes/environments, AO2 as geographical understanding and interrelationships, AO3 as interpreting, analysing and evaluating information to make judgements (including some fieldwork context), and AO4 as selecting and using skills/techniques to investigate and communicate findings (including additional fieldwork use).\"},{\"question\":\"What exam papers does the GCSE Geography course include?\",\"answer\":\"There are three papers: Paper 1 (Living with the Physical Environment), Paper 2 (The Challenge of Human Environments), and Paper 3 (Geographical Applications), including a synoptic element that draws together learning from across the course.\"}]","Dallam Geography GCSE -
