KS5 · AQA A-level Geography
Geography Revision
Study the confirmed AQA A-level route: water and carbon, coasts, hazards, global systems, changing places and population/environment, with the school-selected located studies and applied geographical reasoning.
Geography topics
18 topicsWater systems and drainage basins
Explain water stores, atmospheric and basin pathways, mass balance and hydrographs, then evaluate natural and human change.
Carbon systems and coupled climate
Trace carbon transfers and budgets across scales, explain coupled climate feedbacks and evaluate interventions and evidence.
Globalisation, trade and interdependence
Analyse global flows, enabling systems, unequal power, trade and market access, with TNC and product-chain study methods.
Global governance and Antarctica
Study Antarctic geography and pressures, distinguish treaty and institutional roles and critically evaluate shared protection.
Changing Places: concepts and evidence
Analyse place, belonging, connected change, meanings and representation through critical past-and-present evidence methods.
Geographical evidence in context
Apply maps, graphs, measurement, sampling, descriptive and inferential statistics, digital and qualitative evidence in geographical contexts.
Independent enquiry and fieldwork
Develop general enquiry knowledge: independent design, authentic collection, analysis, evaluated conclusions and responsible reporting.
Coastal systems, energy and sediment
Explain coastal energy, sediment budgets, feedback, waves, tides and interacting marine and slope processes.
Coastal landforms and sea-level change
Explain erosional and depositional landscapes, geological controls, relative sea level and inherited coastal forms.
Coastal management, risk and adaptation
Evaluate structures, sediment and slope measures, shoreline policies, integrated management, appraisal and unequal outcomes.
Hazard concepts and tectonic processes
Connect Earth structure and plate processes with volcanic and seismic hazards, perception, risk, response and recovery.
Storms, wildfire and multi-hazard environments
Explain cyclone and wildfire processes, compare recent events and examine local and wider multi-hazard environments.
Population, environment and food security
Connect population and environment with agricultural systems, climate, soils, degradation and food-security responses.
Population change, resources and Japan
Apply demographic measures, competing population-resource theories and dated Japanese evidence to conditional futures.
Environment, health, malaria, asthma and Lincoln
Explain malaria and asthma, interpret Lincoln place-health evidence and evaluate environmental and healthcare responses.
Amazon rainforest and River Exe
Apply coupled water and carbon processes to Amazon rainforest and Exe catchment evidence, interventions and uncertainty.
Apple and the banana trade
Evaluate Apple and banana networks through location, flows, ownership, power, value, livelihoods and governance.
Wickford North and Detroit: changing places
Compare Wickford North and Detroit through both demographic/cultural and economic/inequality lenses using compatible evidence.
