Download the official Pearson Edexcel A Level Geography Paper 1 question paper for the Summer 2025 examination series (9GE0/01). This Advanced Geography paper assesses Tectonic Processes and Hazards, Landscape Systems Processes and Change, and Physical Systems and Sustainability.

The exam includes Section A on tectonic hazards, Section B with optional questions on either Glaciated Landscapes and Change or Coastal Landscapes and Change, and Section C focused on water cycles, carbon cycles, climate change, and energy security. Students are required to answer all questions in Sections A and C and choose one optional landscape section.

Section A includes statistical analysis of California earthquake events from 1999–2022, including calculations involving standard deviation, as well as a 12-mark assessment question on the role of community preparedness in reducing tectonic hazard vulnerability. The paper tests both geographical knowledge and quantitative geographical skills.

The glaciated landscapes option includes resource-booklet images of relict upland glaciated valleys and knock-and-lochan landscapes, alongside extended evaluative questions on balancing preservation and economic exploitation in glaciated environments. The coastal landscapes option includes coastal erosion and deposition landscapes, destructive and constructive wave processes, coastal recession, and coastal management evaluation questions.

Section C focuses on water and carbon cycles, climate change impacts on river discharge, unconventional fossil fuel energy resources such as shale gas and tar sands, sustainable water-management strategies, and global agreements designed to reduce planetary warming. The resource booklet also contains diagrams of the global water budget and landscape photographs used throughout the examination.
