Definition: Hydrographs show the relationship between rainfall and river discharge, crucial for understanding flood risks.

The content extensively covers erosion types, transportation methods, and resulting landforms in both river and coastal environments.

Example: The River Valency in Boscastle, Cornwall, demonstrates flooding impacts and management strategies.

Highlight: Coastal defense strategies are categorized into hard and soft engineering approaches, each with distinct advantages and challenges.

Vocabulary: Longshore drift describes the movement of beach material along the coast due to prevailing wind and wave action.

Weather and Climate Patterns

This final section examines weather and climate patterns, completing the Gcse eduqas geography theme 1 and 2 summary notes 2021. It explores various factors affecting climate systems.

Definition: Climatographs are visual representations showing yearly temperature and precipitation patterns for specific locations.

The content explains how various factors including latitude, altitude, and prevailing winds influence climate patterns.

Highlight: The distinction between maritime and continental climates demonstrates how geographical location affects weather patterns.

Vocabulary: Relief refers to the physical features of land that affect local climate conditions.
