The changing landscapes of the UK

1There are geological variations within the UK

A number of physical and human processes work together to create distinct UK landscapes

A variety of physical processes interact to shape coastal landscapes

Coastal erosion and deposition create distinctive landforms within the coastal landscape

Human activities can lead to changes in coastal landscapes which affect people and the environment

Distinctive coastal landscapes are the outcome of the interaction between physical and human processes

A variety of physical processes interact to shape river landscapes

Erosion and deposition interacting with geology create distinctive landforms in river landscapes

Human activities can lead to changes in river landscapes which affect people and the environment

Distinctive river landscapes are the outcome of the interaction between physical and human processes

A variety of physical processes interact to shape glaciated upland landscapes

Glacial erosion and deposition create distinctive landforms within glaciated upland landscapes

Human activities can lead to changes in glaciated upland landscapes

Distinctive glaciated upland landscapes are the outcome of the interaction between physical and human processes

Weather hazards and climate change

The atmosphere operates as a global system transferring heat and energy

The global climate was different in the past and continues to change due to natural causes

Global climate is now changing as a result of human activity

The UK has a distinct climate which has changed over time

Tropical cyclones are extreme weather events that develop under specific conditions and in certain locations

There are various impacts of and responses to natural hazards caused by tropical cyclones depending on a country’s level of development

The causes of drought are complex with some locations more vulnerable than others

The impacts of, and responses to drought vary depending on a country’s level of development

Ecosystems, biodiversity and management

Large-scale ecosystems are found in different parts of the world and are important

The biosphere is a vital system

The UK has its own variety of distinctive ecosystems that it relies on

Tropical rainforests show a range of distinguishing features

Tropical rainforest ecosystems provide a range of goods and services some of which are under threat

Deciduous woodlands show a range of distinguishing features

Deciduous woodlands ecosystems provide a range of goods and services some of which are under threat

Changing cities

Urbanisation is a global process

The degree of urbanisation varies across the UK

The context of the chosen UK city influences its functions and structure

The chosen UK city is being changed by movements of people, employment and services

Globalisation and economic change create challenges for the chosen UK city that require long-term solutions

The context of the chosen developing country or emerging country city influences its functions and structure

The character of the chosen developing country or emerging country city is influenced by its fast rate of growth

Rapid growth, within the chosen developing country or emerging country city, results in a number of challenges that need to be managed

Global development

Definitions of development vary as do attempts to measure it

The level of development varies globally

Uneven global development has had a range of consequences

A range of strategies has been used to try to address uneven development

The level of development of the chosen developing or emerging country is influenced by its location and context in the world

The interactions of economic, social and demographic processes influence the development of the chosen developing or emerging country

Changing geopolitics and technology impact on the chosen developing or emerging country

There are positive and negative impacts of rapid development for the people and environment of the chosen developing or emerging country

Resource management

A natural resource is any feature or part of the environment that can be used to meet human needs

The patterns of the distribution and consumption of natural resources varies on a global and a national scale

Renewable and non-renewable energy resources can be developed

To meet demand, countries use energy resources in different proportions. This is called the energy mix

There is increasing demand for energy that is being met by renewable and non-renewable resources

Meeting the demands for energy resources can involve interventions by different interest groups

Management and sustainable use of energy resources are required at a range of spatial scales from local to international

The supply of fresh water supply varies globally

There are differences between the water consumption patterns of developing countries and developed countries

Countries at different levels of development have water supply problems

Meeting the demands for water resources could involve technology and interventions by different interest groups

Management and sustainable use of water resources are required at a range of spatial scales from local to international
