A collection of essays to support revision & teaching of the new AQA Geography A level.
This download contains a collection of eighteen model answers as well as some shorter answer questions and support activities. Marks schemes have been used to help ensure model answers access the higher band for each question. These create excellent support resources for your teaching of the new AQA Geography A level and will save you many hours in preparation time.
These essays would also support the teaching of other A level Geography specifications.
Essays included:
0 3 . 4 “Flooding and erosion is set to increase to unprecedented levels along coastlines
across the world. In response, mitigation and adaptation by coastal managers will
ensure that people and places are not affected.”
03.4 Assess the relative importance of weathering and erosion in the development of coastal landscapes. (20)
Assess the extent to which predicted climate change will present challenges for sustainable management of a local scale environment that you have studied. (20 marks).
“Human activity affects coasts globally. This interference with coastal processes is the key determining factor in shaping coastal landscapes.” To what extent do you agree with this opinion? (20 marks)
026 ‘Sustainable approaches to coastal management will become more important than traditional approaches in dealing with the impacts of climate change.’ 20 marks
Explain the formation of a saltmarsh environment. (4 marks)
Assess the role of vegetation in the development of a sand dune landscape. (6 marks)
Camber Sands teaching resource.
To what extent do the advantages of globalisation outweigh the disadvantages? [20] (or 25 marks under WJEC)
Transnational corporations (TNCs) are the most significant factor in creating unequal flows of people and money within global systems.’ 20 marks.
Analyse the roles of international government organisations and NGOs in the governance of Antarctica and assess their effectiveness. 20 marks
01.4 Assess the potential cause and impacts of changes in the water balance within a tropical rainforest that you have studied. 20 marks
Assess the extent to which rising global temperatures may result in a positive feedback cycle of yet higher carbon content in the atmosphere. (20 marks)
With reference to a river catchment that you have studied, assess the potential impact of human activity upon the drainage basin. (20 marks)
Assess the extent to which there are interrelationships between processes in water cycle and factors driving change in the carbon cycle. (20 marks)
With reference to a local scale of a specific place in a hazardous setting, assess the extent to which the physical nature of hazards can shape the character of a community and its ability to respond to risk. (20 marks)
To what extent have global institutions helped to promote growth and stability within global systems? (20 marks)
To what extent can wildfires be caused, intensified and mitigated by human activity? 20 marks.
‘The Disaster Response Curve (The Park Model) has contributed to improved understanding and therefore management of the impact of tectonic hazards.’
To what extent do you agree with this view? [20 marks]
An additional AS short essay:
Assess the extent that coastlines of submergence are created by sea level change. (9 Marks)
Included in each booket:
Knowledge tests after each section of specification content
A wide range of different exam questions
Structure strips for the 9 mark questions
Detailed case study sheets
Various activities all linked to the specification to aid students revision
Space for DIRT/FIT work
Can be set as homework or in class revision
Some activities in this bundle require the blue Oxford AQA GCSE textbook for the new 2016 specification
This bundle has all the lessons required to teach the Tectonic Hazards section of unit 1A. The activities are varied and differentiated. Each lesson has a GCSE-style exam question with guidance for the students if needed. All worksheets in a format ready for printing. Some lessons do use the Oxford textbook as I have found this is the best way to teach it.
Hope this saves you some valuable planning time.
Order of the lessons is :-
The Distribution of Earthquakes and Volcanoes
Physical Processes at Plate Boundaries
The Effects of Earthquakes
Responses to Earthquakes
Living With The Risk From Tectonic Hazards
Reducing the Risk From Tectonic Hazards

Edexcel A Level Geography - Tectonic Processes and Hazards lessons.
Full set of lessons covering all EQ’s.
Fully resourced.
Modelled exam questions.
Homework tasks.
Everything you need for teaching this unit.
This lesson is designed for KS2 students and is a great introduction to any volcanoes or earthquakes topic. It can be taught as a stand alone lesson but is also available as part of three wider units, all of which are available on TES:
-Volcanoes
-Earthquakes
-Volcanoes & Earthquakes
The presentation investigates the structure of the Earth and looks into the basic composition of the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust.
Students then complete an activity which is differentiated three ways:
Easier – Students label layers of the Earth and complete cloze procedure paragraph (6 gaps).
Medium – Students label layers of the Earth and complete cloze procedure paragraph (10 gaps).
Harder – Students label layers of the Earth – including drawing arrows – and complete cloze procedure paragraph (10 gaps).
Extension – Students think about what they would like to find out about volcanoes or earthquakes or both, depending on which topic you are doing.

*** The lesson***
**A very thorough and detailed revision lesson that recaps pretty much all of the key content from GCSE Tectonics apart from case studies. **
The lesson includes a very detailed worksheet with sections on structure of the earth, tectonics, types of tectonic hazard, preparing for and monitoring tectonic hazards as well as plate boundaries.
The lesson includes a detailed Power point that includes a starter activity, revision sheet (including all answers) and quiz to finish. There is enough material for 1-2 lessons depending on ability. I would recommend using textbooks and/or exercise books along with the revision sheets if students are struggling.
This would serve as a great recap/revision lesson for any GCSE class, is easy to teach and will save you a lot of time!

There are three different activities to choose from which can be done in Geography and/or Literacy lessons. These include:
Quiz Activity
Students watch a video clip about earthquakes and answer comprehension questions about it. This is differentiated two ways.
Cloze Procedure Activity
Students fill in the blanks in an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated two ways.
Writing Activity
Student write an explanation text about earthquakes. This is differentiated three ways and comes with vocabulary and sentence starter prompts.

AQA GCSE Geography lesson for Unit 1 A. Comparing the responses of the Chile 2010 and Nepal 2015 earthquakes. In this lesson we start with a retrieval practice grid which you can populate with your own questions. We then look at the difference between immediate and long-term responses. The pupils complete a photo interpretation task around the searching of buildings before completing a worksheet on the responses to the two earthquakes and answer some questions on what they have found. We then use the worksheets to answer a GCSE-style 9 mark question. using a structure guidance sheet together with mark scheme for content and SPAG.
In a nutshell lesson includes:
Retrieval practice starter
Photo interpretation task
Responses worksheet with questions
GCSE 9 mark question with guidance and mark scheme
Hope this saves you valuable planning time.
