Patterns and Processes

describe and explain physical and human describe and explain interactions processes and recognise that these within and between physical and human processes interact to produce the processes distinctive characteristics of places show how these interactions create understand how physical and human diversity and interdependence and processes lead to change in places help change places identify geographical patterns at a range of identify and analyse geographical scales patterns at a range of scales recognise how conflicting demands on the that many factors influence the environment may arise decisions made about sustainable and describe and compare sustainable and other other approaches to managing places approaches to managing environments how places are affected by actions appreciate that different values and and events in other places attitudes can result in different approaches how human actions may have to environmental interaction and change unintended consequences and that change sometimes leads to conflict
