A-Level Geography – Tectonics Exam Review 2023 (EQ1) What is the global distribution of earthquakes? - Answer-Most earthquakes = near tectonic plate boundaries - clusters of foreshocks, main quakes + aftershocks. ~70% earthquakes = 'Ring of Fire', Pacific Ocean. Most earthquakes --> destructive + conservative plates. (EQ1) What is the global distribution of volcanoes? - Answer-Most volcanoes = near a tectonic plate boundary. North + South America --> active volcano zones. So...

This got me an A* for A level Edexcel Geography. It's my revision notes for Topic 1 Tectonics which, like the rest of my geography notes, are filled with case studies, facts, diagrams, and explanations. I only used this for my revision for all my mocks and actual exam and got A*s in all. It's also got some extra information that can boost your grade even higher! I've arranged it so that all the information is organised under each specification point, so it's really useful for exam preparation!

This document provides key facts and explanations around key case studies that will be very helpful for exam revision and further in depth knowledge. These slides provide you with case studies from topics Tectonics, Coasts, Carbon and Water from the 2016 geography Edexcel course.

This is the Exam students receive during their second week of Principles of Environmental Science (ENV/100T). It covers everything from the Earth's spheres, the nitrogen cycle, the water cycle, rock weathering, plate tectonics, carbon dioxide, etc. There are 2o questions in the exam and all questions are answered correctly.
