the ‘systems in physical geography’ material outlined in this section) Systems in physical geography: Systems concepts and their application to the development of coastal landscapes: energy, stores/components, flows/transfers, positive/negative feedback, dynamic equilibrium. The concepts of landform and landscape and how related landforms combine to form characteristic landscapes. Students will be able to identify, describe and explain common characteristics of systems including: boundaries inputs outputs flows. Students will understand systems that are classified as: isolated systems closed systems open systems. Students will understand systems as being in a state of dynamic equilibrium that includes: positive feedback negative feedback. Students will be able to identify the four major subsystems of the earth: atmosphere lithosphere hydrosphere biosphere. To understand that these are interlinked as a ‘cascading system’. Coasts as natural systems Students will be able to identify coastal environments as open systems. Students will be able to identify the different elements of a coastal system, including: inputs components/stores of any more examples of systems in geography. Students to work in groups to think of ways in which the four ‘spheres’ are interlinked, then feedback and share ideas. Opportunity here for a short research task for interconnections.
