Option F = M14A
Remember to bring:
• Pens, • pencil, • eraser, • coloured pencils (4), • ruler, • string (all in a plastic bag). NO TWINK allowed.
Paper is provided. Calculator is optional.
THERE ARE 3 PAPERS:

• 3.4 Select and Apply Skills and Ideas in a geographic context. (4)
SUGGESTED TIME
• Do papers in order of your strengths
• Aim to spend a max of 1 hour per paper
• Watch the time carefully and try to finish each paper – this will be difficult.
• This is your only chance to try out a technique so use it wisely!
3.1 ANALYSE Natural Processes in the context of a geographic environment
• Our Geographic Environment is:• SOUTH MURIWAI BEACH
• The Natural Processes we study are:• Wave Action Long shore Drift• Wave Erosion Saltation• Aeolian Deposition.• The criteria that may be assessed include:
The size and extent of the geographic environment and the natural features of this
geographic environment
• Where is your Geographic environment?
• What are the boundaries / size?
• What are the main features and where are they on a map?
The natural processes that operate (and may interact) in the geographic environment
• How do each of the processes work as a series of steps or actions?
Wave Erosion, Saltation, LSD and Aeolian Deposition.
• How do 2 of these processes show interaction?
Suggest LSD and Saltation.
What is the distribution and formation of the natural features
• How has the stack and a sand dune formed as a series of actions?
• Why are they found
where they are?
What are the spatial variations in the operation of natural processes in the
geographic environment
• Name 2 processes that show good spatial variation and say where happen most and least
Suggest Wave Erosion and Saltation.
• Explain why these variations occur.
What are the temporal variations in the operation of natural processes in the
geographic environment
• Name a temporal variation that occurs in a process
Suggest Wave Action
• Say how this differs over 2 named time periods
Winter and Summer
What human actions have occurred that modify natural processes, and the
outcomes.
• Name 2 processes that people have changed
Suggest Saltation and Wave Erosion.
• Explain how people have changed these processes
• Explain what the outcomes of these changes have been.
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
• There are 2 questions.
• The first question has a choice. You do one of two questions
• Each question requires an illustrated (use diagrams) essay.
• The second you must do
• This involves a diagram /map for part (a) and a written part (b).
The content includes:
• The reason for the distribution of features
• The formation of two features
• Human modification of a process
3.2 Analyse a Cultural Process
• Our cultural process is:• TOURISM DEVELOPMENT
• Our case studies are:• NZ ROTORUA
• Overseas: WAIKIKI,HAWAII
• Check you can locate these on maps. Criteria assessed include:
The operation of the cultural process
• What are the 4 elements involved?
• How does the process
work as a series of stages
The temporal variations found in the cultural process
• What are the 4 stages of the butler model?
• What are the characteristics of each stage?
• What examples of each stage are there for both Rotorua and Waikiki?
The spatial variations found in the cultural process
• Show different patterns of where TD happens the most and least in both settings.
• Identify specific patterns of TD on a map of both settings eg linear, clustered.
• Give reasons for the patterns identified above. Why there and not there.
Identify factors that have brought about change in the cultural process
• Name an example of an Internal Factor for the Rotorua setting of each of:
Social, Political, Economic, Environmental, Cultural and Historical change.
• Name an example of an External Factor for the Rotorua setting of each of:
Social, Political, Economic, Environmental, Cultural and Historical change.
The effects of the cultural process on people and places
• Give examples of negative effects in each setting for each of:
Social, cultural, Economic and Environmental factors
• Give examples of positive effects in each setting for each of:
Social, cultural, Economic and Environmental factors
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
• There are 2 questions.
• For the first question you get a choice. Each question has 2 parts:
• A. A map or diagram• B A written part based on the diagram.
• The second question is compulsory. This question is an essay only.
The content includes:
• Spatial variation in the process
• The operation of the process
• Effects of the process on people
3.4 Select and Apply Skills and Ideas in a geographic context
• For this you will be given a resource booklet. All answers must be based on this. Do not add to this information.
REMEMBER:
• Read the question carefully and highlight key words.
• Detail means to give specific information – case studies and/or statistics and/or names.
• Try every question – guess if not sure.
WHAT IS THE FORMAT?
• There are 2 questions:
• 1. Various topographic skills
• 2. A graphing question and its interpretation.
• You must answer both questions.
Content includes:
• Precis map skills• Latitude and Longitude• Interpreting relief patterns• Scale• Distance measurement• Direction• Construction of a graph• Interpretation of a graph.• Appropriate use of resources
