Unit 11 Outline - Environmental Issues
WARNING! These pages are now very old. They were last updated in 2008 and the content applies to an old version of any geography syllabus currently active in the UK.
I've kept them here because there might be something useful for someone and the general marking principles aren't all that different. But be aware that it's old and out of date (the stuff on the Google Earth page in particular may not work at all)

The Environment is important. Sometimes it's big global stuff like Global Warming and Climate Change. Other times it's more local, like water pollution or an eyesore being built. Whatever, it's still important stuff.
Key Content:
- How environmental problems are caused
- What their consequences are
- What we can do about them
Major Case Studies:
- Global Warming - including an international agreement to deal with it
- Acid Rain - examples such as liming lakes are useful
- Ozone Holes
