You need to explain how different natural processes (like erosion, weathering, earthquakes, or volcanic activity) work together to shape natural features you find in New Zealand. You'll show this two different ways: with a labeled diagram for one feature and a written analysis for another feature, using real examples from specific locations in New Zealand.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
What you actually do
- ·Select and describe two different natural features in New Zealand (for example, a river gorge, coastal cliff, volcanic cone, or mountain range)
- ·Draw a clearly labeled diagram showing how the natural processes interact to create your first feature, with specific case study details
- ·Write a detailed analysis of how natural processes interact to shape your second, different feature
- ·Explain how the processes work together and influence each other—not just describe them separately
- ·Use specific evidence from actual New Zealand locations to support both your diagram and your written explanation
AAchieved
You identify and clearly describe how natural processes operate and interact to shape a New Zealand natural feature, with some specific evidence from real locations included in both diagram and writing.
