Common mistake
Confusing Weather Hazards
Students often confuse different types of weather hazards experienced in the UK, such as floods, storms, and heatwaves, and fail to accurately describe their characteristics.
To fix this, students should create a table or chart that outlines each type of weather hazard, including its causes, effects, and examples, to clearly differentiate between them.
