What is Year 10 Geography?
Year 10 Geography explores the world around us and the society in which we live. If you are curious about why your world is the way it is today and more importantly, what your world could look like ’tomorrow’ then Year 10 Geography is the subject for you.
So many of the world’s current issues – at a global scale and locally – relate to geography and need geographers in the world to help understand them. Global warming, environmental degradation, loss of biodiversity, unsustainable food production, the degradation of land from overuse or misuse, natural disasters, the spread of diseases, overpopulation where people are living in slums, the reasons for migration and future energy resources.
Geography allows students to explore the many questions and challenges facing the next generation, which geographers must help solve.
