A
Changing
Planet

GCSE Geography Knowledge Mat — Climate Change (PDF)

How we know the climate is changing, how much of it is us, and what can actually be done — kept apart, because a top-band answer does not blur them. Ice cores and the Quaternary record, the natural and human causes named separately, then mitigation and adaptation as the two distinct responses. Three case studies, the chain from cause to consequence, eight terms to define, a worked exam-style sentence, and the misconceptions that cost marks. The photographs are NASA and NOAA science imagery.

    Cover of A Changing Planet

    One landscape A4 page on one topic, led by the photographs rather than the headings. It carries the evidence and how far back it goes, the causes both natural and human, impacts and the two kinds of response — then the vocabulary, a worked exam-style sentence and the misconceptions that cost marks.

    Every image on the sheet is a real archival or scientific photograph, not an illustration and not AI-generated. Each one was checked against its own licence template rather than a label, and the running foot names every creator, states that the images have been cropped and adjusted for print, and links the licence — so the sheet can be photocopied for a class and stay compliant. Nothing is reproduced from a past paper, a textbook or a specification.

    Sold as a single page because that is what it is. A knowledge organiser stores a unit and is revised from afterwards; this is meant to be on the table while the work is happening.

    Written to
    The DfE subject content for geography, section 16, and the topic as AQA 8035, Pearson Edexcel B 1GB0 and OCR B J384 set it. Every photograph is a sourced image, licensed for reuse and credited on the sheet
    Intended for
    geography teachers — on the desk during the lesson, not a student revision guide
