GCSE Geography- Climate Change (a complete comprehensive guide!)

I got a level 8 in GCSE Geography after revising from this resource!

A comprehensive, exceptional-quality booklet of clear, easy to understand notes on GCSE Geography- Climate Change, created by a level 8&9 GCSE Student in accordance with the OCR Geography syllabus. The resource is also suitable for other exam boards like Edexcel and AQA as they are essentially the same.

Buy this and my other six sets on the remaining Geography topics in a discounted bundle! See my shop for more.

The resource includes essential content from the GCSE course, laid out in an intelligible and straightforward manner. The pack also includes areas where students can fill in the blanks and add their own additional research. This often proves to be helpful in learning content.

I often found the GCSE textbooks to be overwhelming and visually intense, so the resource was created to combat this- it obviously worked!

I have also been using this resource in A Level Geography.

Content included:

• Evidence for Climate Change- temperature records, ice cores, sediment cores, tree rings
• Key Ideas- climate change, the quaternary period
• The Permafrost Cycle
• The Arctic Ice Melting Cycle
• Causes of Climate Change- natural (orbital changes, volcanic activity, solar output) and human (the greenhouse effect, cement production, farming)
• The Impacts- environmental (warmer temperatures, sea ice skating, animals, sea level rising, coral reefs, precipitation patterns) and social (heat related deaths, migration, drought, extreme weather)
• The Responses- environmental (planting trees, alternative energy production, carbon capture and storage, international agreements) and social (changing agricultural systems, managing water supplies, coping with rising sea levels)
