This Term's Focus

  • Complete NEA
  • Keep on top of revision resources for all topics
  • Practising exam questions - prep for assessments
  • Homework to cover contentAttendance Punctuality

If you miss a lesson it is YOUR responsibility to catch up afterwards with what you have missed Keep an organised folder for your things, this will be VERY useful for revision An average of 4 hours per week outside of lessons is expected (to complete directed learning tasks, review class notes, reading textbooks, coursework, revision work etc)Attendance

Glaciation and Globalisation Revision

  • Glaciation was poorly performed by some students last year
  • Globalisation - not been tested
  • Therefore, YOU MUST produce a detailed revision resource and complete some of the questions I have provided as practice or try and plan as many as possible - I will not be able to mark these but can bring some along to a workshop
  • Due before half term - 25th October! It will appear on teams before the end of today as a reminder.

Recommended Year 2 Textbooks

  • We recommend the following textbook which covers the 2nd year of the A Level course:
  • Dunn, C. et al, Edexcel A Level Geography Book 2, Hodder 2017, ISBN: 9781471856532

Copies are available in the college library, but should you wish to have your own copy you can purchase this from the department for £22, (£7 cheaper than the recommended retail price). After the A Level exams in June if you no longer wish to keep the book we are prepared to buy it back for £10 assuming it is in reasonable condition. Should you wish to purchase the book the easiest way is to use parentpay or you can bring a cheque or cash to the finance office. Cheques should be made payable to Hereford Sixth Form College and make sure you clearly label them on the back with your name and geography 2nd yr textbook. If you purchased a 1st year book last year remember that you can also sell that back to the department in June for £10 too as long as it is in reasonable condition.Progress trackersTopic 5

Topic Outline: Water Cycle and Insecurity

  • EQ1: What are the processes operating within the hydrological cycle from global to local scale?
  • EQ2: What factors influence the hydrological system over short- and long-term scales?
  • EQ3: How does water insecurity occur and why is it becoming such a global issues for the 21st century?

EQ1: Processes of the Hydrological Cycle

5.1 Global Hydrological Cycle Importance

5.1 The global hydrological cycle is of enormous importance to life on earth Enquiry question 1: What are the processes operating within the hydrological cycle from global to local scale?

Key Idea: Global Hydrological Cycle

Key idea Detailed content 5.1 The global hydrological cycle is of enormous importance to life on earth a. The global hydrological cycle's operation as a closed system (processes, stores and flows) driven by solar energy and gravitational potential energy. (1) b. The relative importance and size (percentage contribution) of the water stores (oceans, atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, groundwater and surface water) and annual fluxes between atmosphere, ocean and land. C. The global water budget limits water available for human use and water stores have different residence times; some stores are non-renewable (fossil water or cryosphere losses).The Hydrologic Cycle (Water Cycle)

Systems Approach to Geography

  • A systems approach - what is a system?
  • A system is any set of interrelated components that are connected together to form a working whole.
  • Systems often have: Inputs & outputs, Stores, Fluxes (rates of flow) & Processes.
  • What natural systems have you studied already in geography?What are open and closed systems?

Open and Closed Systems

  • Open systems ...
  • have inputs and outputs of energy and matter from other open systems.
  • Closed systems ....
  • Only energy can enter and leave the system. There are no inputs or outputs of matter.
  • Is the glacier system an open or closed system?The global hydrological cycle

Understanding the Global Hydrological Cycle

  • The water cycle is a system and the following concepts are key to understanding how the water cycle operates:
  • Stores (stocks) - which are reservoirs where water is held (e.g. oceans)
  • Fluxes - measure the rate of flow between stores
  • Processes - Physical mechanisms which drive fluxes of water between the storesThe Global Hydrological Cycle

The Global Hydrological Cycle Overview

The Global Hydrological cycle The global hydrological cycle is an example of a closed system driven by solar energy and gravitational potential energy. In a closed system there is a fixed amount of water in the Earth- atmosphere - no external inputs or outputs. A closed system does not have any external inputs or outputs, so this total volume of water is constant and finite. However, the water can exist in different states within the closed system (liquids, solid and vapour).Definitions (1):

Hydrological Definitions Part 1

  • Precipitation: All the processes by which moisture falls from the atmosphere onto the surface of the earth
  • Egs: Rain, snow, sleet, hail etc
  • Evaporation Process by which water changes state from liquid to water vapourDefinitions (2)

Hydrological Definitions Part 2

  • Transpiration: Process by which plants absorb soil moisture via their roots and give off water vapour through pores on their leaf surfaces.
  • Evapotranspiration: Flux of water from the earth's surface to the atmosphere via the processes of evaporation & transpiration.Maritime Atmosphere
