While the UK doesn’t face the risk of major volcanic eruptions, earthquakes or hurricanes, it does have its own challenges from natural hazards. GCSE geography specifications require the study of these hazards, often focusing on flooding and extreme heat. This list starts with a famous example of a UK flood event – the Somerset Levels floods of 2014 – then looks at other natural hazards in the UK. This fascinating area of study is one in which our students may find employment in the future, as shown in another recommendation given here. It is also a crucial area of study as the natural hazards are being exacerbated by human actions, with climate change playing a particularly significant role.
