Edexcel A Level Geography Paper 1 November 2021 question paper 9GE0/01

Study Figure 1a and Figure 1b which show the magnitude and duration of eight selected earthquakes.

Using Figure 1b complete Figure 1a by stating the duration of earthquake C.

Complete Figure 1b by plotting earthquake F using the data from Figure 1a.

Draw a regression (best-fit) line on Figure 1b to show the relationship between earthquake magnitude and duration.

Assess the view that the social and economic impacts of earthquakes are mainly the result of their magnitude.

Study Figure 2a in the Resource Booklet.

Explain how changes in the mass balance of the glacier will affect the hydrological cycle.

Study Figure 2b in the Resource Booklet.

Explain the differences in the characteristics of the deposits at locations A and B.

Explain the importance of ice temperature in understanding the rate of glacial movement.

Evaluate the view that glaciated and periglaciated landscapes have a greater value globally than locally.

Do not answer Question 3 if you have answered Question 2.

Coastal Landscapes and Change

You must use the Resource Booklet provided.

Study Figure 3a in the Resource Booklet.

Explain how changes in sea level have produced different coastlines.

Study Figure 3b in the Resource Booklet.

Explain the differences in the characteristics of beaches over time, such as between summer and winter.

Explain the importance of vegetation in stabilising coastal landscapes.

Evaluate the view that coastal management policies are mainly based on economic judgements.

Study Figure 4a in the Resource Booklet.

Explain one possible consequence of the changes in unconventional oil production.

Explain the geological processes that influence the levels of carbon in the atmosphere.

Explain why changes in ocean health may threaten people’s well-being.

Assess the impacts of climate change on the flows (processes) in the hydrological cycle.

Evaluate the view that most trans-boundary water conflicts are impossible to solve.
