Global hazards: core knowledge
What to know
- Global hazards answers should connect place detail, process and evidence.
- Map, graph and case-study evidence should be used only when it supports the command word.
Common mistake
Naming a case study without explaining the process or impact.
Worked example
A Global hazards question asks students to assess a management response. What should be included?
- 1. Name the response and the place or process
- 2. Use evidence about its effect
- 3. Balance success against cost, sustainability or limits

Three quick checks
1. What skill does the approved sample question test?
ocr gcse geography b
Magnitude describes the event, not the whole impact. The same physical hazard can cause different outcomes depending on human and economic factors.
2. What mistake should you watch for in Global hazards: core knowledge?
Naming a case study without explaining the process or impact.
StudyVector stores common mistake patterns so the next attempt can repair the specific error rather than restart the whole course.
3. What should happen after a missed mark?
Review the explanation, name the mistake, then answer a similar question while the correction is fresh.
The page feeds the same loop as practice: attempt, feedback, repair, and return.
