- Describe the topography of a drainage basin and understand how changes in the drainage basin can affect the output from the drainage basin.
- Describe and explain the water cycle.
- Describe the processes of weathering and erosion. Weathering should include physical, chemical and biological processes.
- Describe the appearance and formation of river landforms: V-shaped valleys, waterfalls, gorges, meanders, ox-bow lakes and deltas.
