During Year 12, students will study tectonics, coasts, globalisation and regeneration. The Tectonics Unit will look in depth at plate tectonics and the physical processes associated with volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, vulnerability to disasters and management of disasters. In the Coastal Unit, the reasons for different coastlines, the influence of sea level change and the management of coasts, are investigated. In addition, many transferable skills are included such as statistical analysis, map skills and data collection. The Globalisation Unit covers the meaning behind and causes of globalisation, the key players, influences on culture, closing the development gap as well as ethics and sustainability. The Regeneration Unit looks at the need for and methods of regeneration in both rural and urban locations again this unit will focus on key geographical and fieldwork skills. The units will be assessed through a human and physical exam paper. Both papers require fieldwork knowledge and skills, therefore there are compulsory fieldtrips.
