Landscapes and Landforms
How landforms form, change and are valued - and how people live with the hazards they create.
- Landform types: mountains, plains, coasts, deserts
- Geomorphic processes: weathering and erosion
- River processes and landforms
NSW Geography Stage 4 (Year 7) concepts - landscapes and landforms, place and liveability, water in the world - expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Geography Year 7” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
How landforms form, change and are valued - and how people live with the hazards they create.
Why some places are better to live in than others, and who gets to decide what improves.
Water as a resource and a hazard: the cycle, scarcity, catchments and the politics of sharing it.
A Geography Year 7 paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.
| Command word | Question type | Marks |
|---|---|---|
| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| describe | Short answer | 2–3 |
| discuss | Extended response | 4–6 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–4 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
Year 7 Assessment Task Shape — 50 marks, 75 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
