Prediction - GCSE Geography Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Prediction, in the context of GCSE Geography, refers to the process of forecasting what might happen in the future based on current data and trends. In geography, predictions can be about natural events like earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions. Scientists and geographers use tools, historical information, and technology such as computer models to make these predictions. The aim is to help communities prepare and reduce the impact of these events by having plans in place. Accurate predictions can save lives and resources by giving people time to react and make informed decisions.
