the layer of gases that surround the Earth

The hydrological cycle

Geography

Drainage basins

River processes

The upper course of a river

The middle and lower course of a river

Fieldwork: Planning a river enquiry and collecting data

Fieldwork: Presenting river data

Fieldwork: Analysing, concluding and evaluating river data

The causes of flooding

The effects of flooding

GIS: Analysing flood risk

River management

Planning river management

This unit teaches pupils about how river processes shape the land and affect our lives. Pupils will use fieldwork to investigate downstream changes in rivers and use GIS to analyse flood risk across geographical space. Pupils will also evaluate different methods of flood management.

Rivers: How do rivers shape the land?

The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the Earth's surface

When water turns into water vapour due to heat

How much of the Earth's water is stored on land?

__________ are the way water moves between the different stores within a cycle.

A flowing body of water that moves towards a lake, sea, or ocean

The process of rocks being added to the river

The wearing away of rocks and land by water, wind, or ice

The process of water being stored in reservoirs

The movement of water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation
