Weather Hazards - (KS4 - Key Stage 4) (GCSE)

An AQA specification topic for KS4 in geography about Weather Hazards and their formation along with effects.

Throughout the series of lessons students will be able to accurately describe the distribution of the climate globally using the GAC. Then describe the location and formation of tropical storms along with their effects through the case study of Typhoon Haiyan. Next students will look at the weather of the UK and finally describe an extreme UK weather event. In the last few lessons students will look at our changing climate and how this occurs both naturally and also anthropogenically, they will identify the effects and how we can adapt and mitigate them.
