Presenting fieldwork data

Study the bar chart below, which shows average monthly rainfall in Shrewsbury, a town in England.

Complete the rainfall graph using the information in the table below.

State the mode of the rainfall values.

Calculate the mean of the rainfall values to two decimal places (2dp).

Show your working below.

Describe the pattern of rainfall shown. Use data in your answer.

Study Fig. 3 in the separate Resource Booklet, which shows the River Severn in Shrewsbury.

Identify one feature in Fig. 3 which suggests Shrewsbury residents will be vulnerable to flood events. Explain your answer.

Suggest why photographs can sometimes show bias.

Some Geography students have been conducting human geography fieldwork in the Bristol area.

They were investigating the impact of internet shopping on retail in the city centre and chose to complete a questionnaire of local residents.

The students divided the data for Question 1 into three age groups.

Suggest one way that the age groups might be adapted to improve the data collected.

Describe one way the data for Question 2 of their questionnaire might be presented.

Suggest why this would be an appropriate choice.

Explain one likely challenge for the city of Bristol suggested by the results of their questionnaire.

Complete and label the pie chart below to show the results of Question 2 from the questionnaire shown above.

Suggest two ways that the data collected for Question 1 of the questionnaire might be improved.

Suggest one more question that might be used in the questionnaire to investigate the effects of tourism.

Study Fig. 6 in the separate Resource Booklet, which shows a map and photographs of the sites studied.

Add three annotations to the photograph of site 1 below, to show the effects of tourism at the site.

The students also completed environmental surveys at the two sites. The results are shown below.

Select one method that might be used to display the data from the table above. Explain why you chose this method.

Using evidence from all the fieldwork data provided, examine whether traffic is likely to be a problem for the village of Ambleside.

Study Fig. 1, an OS map extract of part of Dartmoor National Park.

In which grid square is the largest part of Burrator reservoir found?

What is the approximate size of Burrator reservoir?

A 0.05 sq km B 0.5 sq km C 5 sq km D 10 sq km

Suggest one appropriate method of displaying the changes in height between Sheeps Tor (5668) and Down Tor (5769).

Fig. 2 shows an aerial photograph of Burrator reservoir.

Using Fig. 2, state whether this photograph shows an upland or lowland landscape. Give one reason why.

Using Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, identify in which direction the camera was pointing when the photograph was taken.

A North B North West C South D South West

Study the choropleth map below, showing rainfall patterns in Devon.

Suggest two ways in which the presentation of information on this map could be improved.

Some geography students have been conducting physical geography fieldwork on Dartmoor. They were investigating river flow. Some of their results are shown in the table below.

Suggest one problem with the recording of this data.

Identify two further pieces of information that the students could collect about the river.

Calculate the median value for all the measurements of depth taken. You should show your workings out.

Describe, in detail, one way the data in the table on page 10 about the river’s depth could be presented in a fieldwork investigation. Give reasons for your choice.

Fig. 8 in the separate Resource Booklet locates the four study sites along the River Dart.

Using both the table of data on page 10 and Fig. 8, assess the evidence for the following hypothesis:

‘The River Dart increases in both width and depth as it flows downstream.’
