Geology study guides

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Earth structure and global tectonics concept. Covers the layered and mechanical Earth and the seismic evidence, the development of plate tectonics, the three kinds of plate margin, earthquakes and seismic waves, volcanic activity, and the lithosphere, isostasy and hotspots, with the calculations and exam patterns Eduqas repeats.

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Elements, minerals and rocks concept. Covers atomic structure, bonding and isotopes, the silicate structures and mineral groups, identifying minerals by physical properties, the practical and fieldwork skills, and the rock cycle, with the exam patterns Eduqas repeats in Components 1 and 2.

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Geohazards and economic geology module that drives Component 3. Covers earthquake, volcanic and landslide hazards and their mitigation, ore deposits, grade and reserves, the petroleum system, and groundwater and Darcy's law, with the exam patterns Eduqas repeats.

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Rock deformation and geological structures concept. Covers stress and strain and brittle-ductile behaviour, folds, faults and joints, unconformities and the gaps in the record, dip, strike and true thickness with the trigonometry, and reading geological maps and cross-sections, with the exam patterns Eduqas repeats in Components 1 and 3.

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Rock-forming processes concept. Covers igneous classification and textures, Bowen's reaction series and magma differentiation, weathering, erosion and transport, sedimentary rocks and depositional environments, metamorphism and grade, and igneous intrusions and volcanic forms, with the exam patterns Eduqas repeats across the components.

A deep-dive Eduqas A-Level Geology guide to the Time, past life and past climates concept. Covers relative dating and stratigraphic principles, radiometric dating and half-life, fossils and index fossils, evolution and mass extinctions, palaeoenvironments and palaeoclimate proxies, and the Quaternary option, with the exam patterns Eduqas repeats.
