Geography

What to Expect from CAPS Grade 11 Geography

Grade 11 Geography extends the FET physical and human geography curriculum — covering tectonic processes, more complex climate systems, and urban geography. EdSoft's adaptive module builds the analytical depth that Grade 12 demands.

Geomorphology: Tectonic Processes

Tectonic processes — plate movement, earthquakes, volcanoes, and the formation of major landforms — are explored at full FET standard. Learners develop the ability to explain geological features and events in terms of plate tectonics.

Climate and Weather: Tropical Climates

Grade 11 climate study focuses on tropical and subtropical climate systems — the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone, tropical cyclones, and the mechanisms that drive rainfall and drought in tropical regions, including South Africa.

Urban Settlement

Urban geography explores urbanisation patterns, city morphology, and the challenges of urban management — including housing, service delivery, and informal settlements in the South African context.

Geographical Information Systems

GIS is introduced as a contemporary geographical tool — learners explore how satellite imagery, GPS, and spatial data are used to understand and manage the environment.
