Mapping skills (scale, position, direction, relief, cross-sections, sketch maps, site and situation, spatial patterns), remote sensing (ground-level, vertical and oblique aerial photographs, satellite and radar images), statistical skills (descriptive statistics, graphs, statistical maps, correlation) and inquiry/fieldwork skills. These are taught in both units and examined through the Broadsheet.
Definitions of the core concepts; the processes of deforestation, agricultural expansion and intensification, urban growth and mining; how remote sensing measures change; the drivers (population growth, affluence, technology); factors explaining differences between two countries; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander land management; and six listed impacts of land cover change.
One option is studied: climate change (rainfall/temperature patterns; heat budget, hydrological cycle, carbon cycle, atmospheric circulation; causes, rate and evidence; albedo and carbon sequestration; impacts) or biodiversity loss (biomes; ecosystem structure and dynamics; causes, rate and evidence; shifting boundaries, diversification, extinction; impacts).
Three ways human activity has adapted or may need to adapt; two mitigation strategies; and two strategies that address the impacts of land cover change on local or regional environments, evaluated with the concept of sustainability (environmental, social, economic).
Urbanisation and liveability; implications of urbanisation for population growth in urban and rural places; economic and environmental interdependence; factors in the distribution of Australian urban and rural places; changing demographic characteristics; urban process definitions; and challenges for places outside major cities.
For metropolitan Perth or a regional WA urban centre: site, situation, internal and external morphology; age, gender, socioeconomic and cultural distributions; two challenges with scope, causes and impacts, views of two stakeholder groups, two planning strategies, and evaluation of those strategies for sustainability and for liveability.
For one megacity (more than 10 million people): site, situation and morphology; demographic characteristics; two challenges with scope, causes and impacts; two planning strategies evaluated for sustainability and for liveability (no stakeholder dot point for the megacity).
