Elaboration ACHGK042

explaining the physical causes and the temporal and spatial patterns of an atmospheric or hydrological hazard through a study of either droughts, storms, tropical cyclones or floods

Elaboration ACHGS049

constructing tables, graphs, maps and diagrams to represent the data collected about water scarcity and liveability of places

Elaboration (1) ACHGS049

creating an annotated diagram to show: how water flows through the environment and connects places; or the influence of environmental quality on the liveability of places

Elaboration (1) ACHGS047

developing questions to investigate patterns of spatial distribution of rainfall in Australia and other places

gathering relevant data from a range of primary sources (for example, from observation and annotated field sketches, surveys and interviews, or photographs) about the impacts of and responses to a hydrological hazard, or the factors influencing decisions …

Elaboration ACHGK039

investigating the main causes of rainfall and applying their knowledge to explain the seasonal rainfall patterns in their own place and in a place with either significantly higher or lower rainfall

Elaboration (1) ACHGK039

interpreting the spatial distribution of rainfall in Australia and comparing it with the distribution of that of other continents

Elaboration (2) ACHGK039

using the concept of the water balance to compare the effects of rainfall, run-off and evaporation on the availability of water in Australia and other continents

Elaboration (2) ACHGK045

investigating the concept of environmental quality and surveying the environmental quality of their local area and its effect on liveability

Elaboration (1) ACHGK037

describing how water is an available resource when it is groundwater, soil moisture (green water), and surface water in dams, rivers and lakes (blue water), and a potential resource when it exists as salt water, ice or water vapour

Elaboration (1) ACHGS048

collecting geographical information from secondary sources (for example, thematic maps, weather maps, climate graphs, compound column graphs and population pyramids, reports, census data and the media)

Elaboration ACHGK040

investigating the causes of water scarcity (for example, an absolute shortage of water (physical), inadequate development of water resources (economic), or the ways water is used)

Elaboration (3) ACHGS051

using digital maps and overlays of an area to observe, describe and contrast the spatial associations of geographical phenomena (for example, the relationship between economic activities and river systems and the availability of surface water)

Elaboration (2) ACHGK043

comparing student access to and use of places and spaces in their local area and evaluating how this affects perceptions of liveability

Elaboration ACHGK044

comparing accessibility to and availability of a range of services and facilities between different types of settlements (urban, rural and remote) in Australia and other countries (for example, access to clean water, sanitation, education and health …
