The diagram below shows a tectonic plate boundary.

Add the two labels below to the diagram above.

Identify the plate boundary shown in the diagram above.

A conservative

B constructive

CASE STUDY

A natural weather hazard event

Name of weather hazard event........

* Evaluate the consequences of either a flash flood or a tropical storm.

Look at Fig. 1 in the Resource Booklet.

Suggest how the cave painting could be used as evidence for climate change.

State one reason why cave paintings may not be reliable as evidence of climate change.

Describe one way Milankovitch cycles can cause natural climate change.

Evaluate how humans have contributed to the enhanced greenhouse effect.

Look at Fig. 2 in the Resource Booklet.

Use the photograph to draw a labelled sketch of this glaciated landscape.

Rocks carried in glaciers can erode by scratching the ground surface beneath the ice. Students collected data showing the direction of these scratches in a glaciated valley.

Use the data in the table below to complete the rose chart.

In which direction does the data in the rose chart suggest the glacier was travelling?

A East-west

B North-south

C Northeast-southwest

D Northwest-southeast

Write the correct letter in the box.

Look at the scatter graph below showing rates of coastal erosion over time.

Use your best fit line to predict the rate of coastal erosion in 2035.

A 15 cm

B 20 cm

C 35 cm

D 50 cm

Write the correct letter in the box.

CASE STUDY

UK coastal landscape

Name of UK coastal landscape........

Explain the formation of one coastal landform in this landscape.

Overfishing is when too many adult fish are removed so there are not enough remaining to breed and sustain the population.

Look at Fig. 3 in the Resource Booklet.

Suggest how overfishing of Arctic cod by humans could affect this Arctic food chain.

Outline two other impacts human activity could have on polar environments.

Scientists collected data on the height of Arctic land plants. The data is shown in the table below.

Select the most suitable way to present the data in the table.

A Climate graph

B Histogram

C Line graph

D Radial graph

Write the correct letter in the box.

Identify one weakness in the data shown in the table above.

Suggest one way a weakness in the data shown could be reduced.

CASE STUDY

Global sustainable management in the Antarctic or Arctic

Name of Antarctic or Arctic example........

Explain how your global sustainable management example offers a sustainable solution for polar environments.

The drop from the top of the groyne to the beach on the east side of groyne number three was –63 cm.

Use this data to complete the graph above.

Calculate the mean drop from the top of the groyne to the beach on the west side of the 3 groynes.

You must show your working.

Identify the range of the drop of the top of the groyne to the beach on the east side of the 3 groynes.

A 11

B 20

C 8

D 15

Write the correct letter in the box.

Identify one factor that could have affected the data collected on the beach.

Suggest one conclusion that the students could make about the effect of the groynes on longshore drift.

* You will have carried out physical geography fieldwork.

To what extent was your primary data collection successful in allowing you to reach a conclusion?

Spelling, punctuation and grammar
