Pearson Edexcel As Geography 2025 Paper 1 Question Paper Pdf

Download the official Pearson Edexcel AS Geography Paper 1: Dynamic Landscapes question paper from the Summer 2025 examination series (8GE0/01). This official examiner-authored PDF contains the complete live assessment used for the 2025 Edexcel Advanced Subsidiary Geography qualification. The paper covers tectonic processes and hazards, glaciated landscapes and change, coastal landscapes and change, fieldwork skills, geographical enquiry techniques, and synoptic evaluation tasks using real-world geographical scenarios and resource materials.

Section A focuses on tectonic processes and hazards, including plate movement, plate tectonic theory, multiple hazard zones, vulnerability using the Pressure and Release (PAR) model, and comparative impacts of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Section B examines glaciated landscapes and change with questions on glacier retreat in the Himalayas, proglacial landforms, glacial management strategies, Isle of Arran fieldwork preparation, and an extended evaluation of tectonic and glacial opportunities and challenges in Sangay National Park, Ecuador. Section C explores coastal landscapes and change through coastal retreat data, shoreline management policies, flood risk factors, coastal recession, Seaford sediment-cell fieldwork, and an evaluative synoptic investigation into tectonic and coastal opportunities and challenges in the Galápagos Islands.

The paper includes official resource-booklet figures, maps, annotated fieldwork materials, statistical interpretation tasks, geographical calculations, and high-level evaluative essay questions that test analytical, fieldwork, and decision-making skills under timed examination conditions. Students can use this paper for examiner-standard revision, timed mocks, fieldwork preparation, data interpretation practice, and structured geographical evaluation ahead of the 2026 exam series.

This document is designed for Year 12 students preparing for Edexcel AS Geography examinations, private candidates, home-schooled learners, and independent students following the Pearson Edexcel specification. It is especially valuable for students developing geographical enquiry skills, fieldwork techniques, analytical writing, data interpretation, and evaluative essay structure under timed examination conditions.

Teachers, tutors, sixth-form departments, revision-course providers, and parents can use this paper for mock examinations, fieldwork-skills practice, resource interpretation, exam-technique workshops, and classroom assessment activities. It is particularly useful for identifying weaknesses in geographical analysis, decision making, evaluation, statistical interpretation, and extended-response writing before the 2026 examination cycle.
