The interactions between the human and physical components of the world are extremely dynamic in both time and space. Much of the A Level will be building on current events, understanding and awareness of the world around us. Geographers learn about the physics of climate change, the interaction of weather events and flood risk, and the way people’s behaviour is influenced by the space around them.
