AQA GCSE Geography Paper 3: Geographical applications June 2019 question paper 8035/3

Study Figure 1 in the resources booklet, ‘Tropical rainforests’.

Calculate the temperature range for Manaus.

Explain why there are ‘no real seasonal temperature differences’ in areas of tropical rainforest.

Suggest one reason why so many medicinal drugs are derived from tropical rainforests.

‘Tropical rainforests are important at both the local and global scales.’

Discuss this statement.

Study Figure 2 in the resources booklet, ‘Deforestation of tropical rainforests’.

Compare the pattern of forest loss between the Brazilian Amazon and the non-Brazilian Amazon.

Complete the following diagram to show how the removal of trees can affect the rainforest environment.

Write the correct statement in each box.

Choose from the statements below.

Increasing flood risk Less animal life Soil is eroded

‘Some activities in areas of tropical rainforests are more damaging than others.’

To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Study Figure 3 in the resources booklet, ‘Road development in the Peruvian Amazon’.

What does the information in the ‘Peru: development fact file’ suggest about levels of development in Peru?

Study Figure 4, a table showing information collected by students about housing development in four areas on the edge of a town.

Complete the table (Figure 4) by filling in the data for Area B and Area D.

Study Figure 5, showing information from a survey of 100 people in a coastal area.

Complete the pie chart below to show the information for Figure 5.

Study Figure 6, part of a student’s planning sheet in a fieldwork enquiry.

Figure 6

Name the type of sampling method used in Figure 6.

Shade one circle only.

A Opportunity sampling, selecting points which are easiest to access

B Random sampling, based on chance

C Stratified sampling, where more points are chosen from one area

D Systematic sampling where points are chosen at regular intervals

Suggest why the type of sampling shown in Figure 6 is not always possible in a fieldwork enquiry.

Study Figures 7a and 7b, part of a contour map and a cross section used in a river enquiry.

Complete the cross-section from X–Y on Figure 7b.

Describe the slope of the land from point X to the river.

Study Figure 8, information about a questionnaire survey.

Figure 8

A group of students used a questionnaire to assess whether local facilities for the older population were good enough.

In this area 48% of the population are over 50 years old. Females account for 56% of this age group.

The students completed the questionnaire in the town centre on a Saturday morning.

The following diagram shows the age groups of people who were asked to complete the questionnaire.

Suggest two ways that students might adapt their method in order to obtain more appropriate data.

Suggest two additional data collection techniques that the students could use to find out if local facilities are good enough for the older population.

Study Figure 9, a housing quality survey from twelve different areas of a town.

Assess the usefulness of measures of central tendency, such as median, mean and mode, in analysing the housing quality data collected by the students.

Write the title of your physical geography fieldwork enquiry.

Suggest why one set of data you collected in your physical fieldwork enquiry may not have been accurate.

Identify one potential risk in your physical geography fieldwork and explain how the risk was reduced.

Write the title of your human geography fieldwork enquiry.

Assess the suitability of the location chosen for your human geography enquiry.
