recognise a range of the Earth’s resources, e.g. soil, water, air distinguish between the impact of natural and human processes on the atmosphere
describe some changes which occur in the atmosphere over time, e.g. temperature, CO2 concentration explain how various natural and human-induced processes have led to changes in the atmosphere over a given period of time, e.g. volcanoes and power stations
recognise whether changes are due to natural or human-induced processes, e.g. volcanic activity versus power stations describe examples of sustainable and non-sustainable development, e.g. forest management, whaling
