COURSE DESCRIPTION

Geography is the study of the earth as the home of human. It also involves the study of the interrelationship between human and the natural environment. Cambridge IGCSE Geography entails more than description of landforms and the processes responsible for their formation, to include developmental issues, globalisation and global interdependency. IGCSE Geography understands social and physical processes within the context of place and time – recognising the diversity in cultures, political systems, economies, landscapes and environments across the world, and the links between them. In dealing with the interaction between human and the natural environment, Geography plays an integral role in mitigating and adapting to the fallouts from this relationship in the form of global warming and its attended impact well as geophysical and climatological hazards
