Earth Hazards: How confident are you at each of the objectives below.

Use a 3 colour code system to highlight your level of understanding of each objective

  • Green – positive
  • Amber – nearly there, need to complete further notes, questioning or research
  • Red – difficulty understanding concepts, processes and case studies. Action needs to be taken

Use the right hand column to annotate with notes and actions
