Geography A
at William Hulme'S Grammar School, Manchester · school or sixth form
What the college says
The core Physical Geography is built around two main topics, Physical Landscape Systems and the Water and Carbon cycles. Carbon and water cycles focus on the inter-relationships between the land, oceans and atmosphere. Students also explore one chosen landscape from three options-coastal landscapes, glaciated landscapes and hot desert landscapes -most likely to be glaciers- in a systems framework. The choice of a physical option lies between the study of hazards and ecosystems.
