Using Geography Revision Mind Maps

A GCSE geography revision mind map sorts the course into its main areas. Most specifications divide into physical geography, human geography and geographical skills. Physical topics include rivers, coasts, weather and climate and ecosystems. Human topics include urban change, economic development and resource management. Each area then branches into processes, case studies and key terms.

  • Physical geography: landforms, processes and their case studies
  • Human geography: population, settlement, development and resources
  • Fieldwork: enquiry question, methods, data presentation and conclusions
  • Case studies: named places, dates and figures to recall in exams

Use the map to check which branches you can explain from memory and which need more practice. When you want a map of your own course, CogniGuide can generate one from your notes.
