To identify questions and sequences of enquiry, start by observing a geographical phenomenon and asking a clear, focused question that can be answered through research. Break the question into smaller, manageable parts, then plan a logical order of investigation: gather data, analyse it, and evaluate the results. This structured approach ensures each step builds on the previous one, allowing you to explore the issue comprehensively and draw reliable conclusions.
