3.2.1.5.1 Antarctica as a global common
Threats to Antarctica arising from:

• climate change
• fishing and whaling
• the search for mineral resources
• tourism and scientific research.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• what the potential impacts of climate change might be for different parts of the continent.
• the impacts whaling and fishing are having in the waters off the coast of Antarctica.
• why mineral extraction may be a further future potential threat to Antarctica.
• the negative impacts of tourism and scientific exploration and how they are being mitigated against.

3.2.1.5.1 Antarctica as a global common
Analysis and assessment of the geographical consequences of global governance for citizens and places in Antarctica and elsewhere to specifically consider how global governance underlies and impacts on students and other people's lives across the globe.

3.2.1.6 Globalisation critique
The impacts of globalisation to consider the benefits of growth, development, integration, stability against the costs in terms of inequalities, injustice, conflict and environmental impact.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• the impacts of global governance on their own lives and in other places.
• how to critique globalisation in terms of its impacts both benefits and costs.

3.1.3.2 Systems and processes

• Geomorphological processes: weathering, mass movement, erosion, transportation and deposition.
• Distinctively coastal processes: marine: erosion - hydraulic action, wave quarrying, corrasion/abrasion, cavitation, solution, attrition; transportation: traction, suspension (longshore/littoral drift) and deposition; sub-aerial weathering, mass movement and runoff.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

• How weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition processes form coastal landscapes.
• Different types of mass movement occur in coastal environments, changing the coastal landscape.
• How geomorphological processes work together to form coastal landscapes.
• Distinctive marine processes form coastal landscapes.
• Coastal landscapes are dynamic due to marine processes.
