Table for Q11 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated table for Q11.

Resource 2: Bar chart of proven and conditional reserves of lithium (million tonnes) in three countries.

Chart for Q12 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated chart for Q12.

Resource 3: Extract from a report on transboundary water management of the Mekong River.

"The Mekong River Commission (MRC) was established in 1995 by Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam to promote cooperation. However, upstream dam construction by China (not a member) has reduced dry-season flow by 30% in downstream states, causing tension."

13. Explain one challenge in managing transboundary water resources using Resource 3. [3]

14. Suggest two strategies that could improve transboundary water management in the Mekong. [4]

Resource 4: Line graph of global solar PV capacity (GW) 2015–2024.

15. Using Resource 4, calculate the percentage increase in global solar PV capacity from 2015 (220 GW) to 2024 (1500 GW). Show your working. [3]

Graph for Q15 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated graph for Q15.

16. Using Resource 4 and your knowledge, explain two limitations of solar power for energy security. [6]

17. Resource 5 shows a karst landscape with limestone cliffs and a sinkhole. Explain the processes that formed this landscape. [5]

Diagram for Q17 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated diagram for Q17.

Resource 6: Table of ecosystem services compromised by palm oil expansion in Borneo.

Ecosystem Service	Impact
Provisioning (timber)	Lost 40% forest area
Regulating (carbon)	Emissions up 25%
Cultural (ecotourism)	Declined
Support (soil)	Erosion increased

18. Using Resource 6, describe how human activity has compromised ecosystem services. [5]

Table for Q18 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated table for Q18.

Section C: Extended Response (20 marks)

19. "Resource depletion is inevitable given population growth and industrialization." To what extent do you agree with this statement? [10]

20. Evaluate the view that circular economy principles are sufficient to achieve resource sustainability in ASEAN countries. [10]

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key (Version 3)

Subject: Geography H2 A-Level
Total Marks: 60
Paper: Practice Paper (Resources Sustainability)

Section A: Short Structured (10 marks)

1. [1] Renewable resources regenerate within human timescales (e.g., solar, wind); non-renewable do not (e.g., coal, oil).
Mark: 1 for clear difference. Common mistake: saying "renewable is clean" – not sufficient alone.

2. [1] Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Mark: 1 for Brundtland definition essence.

3. [1] Provisioning / Regulating / Cultural / Support (any one).
Mark: 1.

4. [1] Proven reserves.
Mark: 1. Conditional = extractable at higher price; hypothetical/speculative = unknown.

5. [1] Ester Boserup.
Mark: 1. Malthus argued limits; Boserup argued tech expands.

6. [1] Habitat destruction / pollution / soil erosion (any one).
Mark: 1.

7. [1] e.g., SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation / SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy.
Mark: 1 for number + title.

8. [1] Transboundary water resources.
Mark: 1.

9. [1] Food, water, timber, fibre (any one).
Mark: 1.

10. [1] Ignores tech innovation / uneven access / population control (any one).
Mark: 1.

Section B: Data-Based (30 marks)

11. [5] Compare total scores: Singapore highest (50), Bangkok (38), Jakarta (33), Manila lowest (32). Singapore exceeds Manila by 18 pts. Bangkok > Jakarta by 5. All SEA cities below max 60.
Marking: 1 for each city relative position, 1 synth = 5. Use comparative language.

12. [4] Chile has highest proven (9.0 Mt) + conditional (3.5); Australia proven 6.2, conditional 1.8; Argentina low proven (2.7) but high conditional (4.0). Pattern: Chile leads total, Argentina speculative potential.
Marking: 1 per country description + 1 pattern = 4.

13. [3] Challenge: upstream non-member (China) dams reduce flow 30%, MRC has no authority over China → cooperation limited by membership scope.
Marking: 1 identify actor, 1 impact, 1 explain gap = 3.

14. [4] (a) Include China in MRC / bilateral treaties [2]; (b) Joint environmental impact assessments [2].
Marking: 2 each, must be feasible.

15. [3] % increase = (1500 − 220) / 220 × 100 = 1280 / 220 × 100 = 581.8% ≈ 582%.
Working shown = 2, final = 1.

16. [6] Limitation 1: Intermittent (no sun at night/clouds) → needs storage [3]. Limitation 2: Land use conflict / material mining impact [3].
Marking: 3 per limitation with explanation.

17. [5] Rainwater + CO₂ → H₂CO₃; dissolves CaCO₃ along joints; percolation forms caves; roof collapse → sinkhole; spring at water table.
Marking: chem weathering 2, mass movement 1, subsurface 1, linkage 1.

18. [5] Provisioning lost 40% forest; regulating emissions +25%; cultural declined; support erosion up. Human activity (palm oil) compromised all four.
Marking: 1 per service described = 4, 1 synthesis = 5.

Section C: Extended (20 marks)

19. [10] Agree: Malthusian pressure, finite reserves. Disagree: Boserup tech, recycling, substitution. Conclusion: not inevitable with management.
Descriptors: L1 (1–3) simple; L2 (4–7) balanced; L3 (8–10) evaluated with examples.

20. [10] For: reduce waste, reuse. Against: needs infra, behavior change, global trade. Verdict: necessary not sufficient.
Descriptors as above; evidence from ASEAN context required for top marks.
