12.

Graph for Q12 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated graph for Q12.

Using the figure, describe the pattern of suspended sediment concentration from Site A to Site C. [3]

13. Explain how you would use a systematic sampling grid in a vegetation quadrat study. [3]

14. A fieldwork project tests the hypothesis: "Impervious surface cover increases surface runoff in urban catchments." State one independent variable, one dependent variable, and one control variable. [3]

15.

Table for Q15 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated table for Q15.

Using the table, explain the relationship between canopy cover and soil temperature. [3]

16. Evaluate the use of mobile GPS apps versus paper maps for navigation during fieldwork. [4]

17. A student counts pedestrian flow at a mall entrance for 10-minute intervals. Identify the sampling method and state one advantage and one limitation. [3]

18. Explain how data presentation choice (line graph vs bar chart) affects interpretation of temporal fieldwork data. [3]

19.

Map for Q19 (ALEVEL Geography H2)

Generated map for Q19.

Using the map, suggest how vegetation sampling points should be spaced and why. [3]

20. Assess the strengths and limitations of using a single fieldwork visit to draw conclusions about seasonal river discharge. [4]

A-Level Geography H2 Quiz - Fieldwork (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Fieldwork (syllabus-first, AI-inferred from Stage 4 patterns; not claimed as past-year derived)

Q1. [1]
Answer: Fieldwork is the collection of geographical data outside the classroom through direct observation, measurement, and interaction with the environment or people.
Teaching note: Define as experiential learning. Key idea: primary data gathered in real-world settings. Accept any clear definition emphasising direct field observation.

Q2. [2]
Answer: (1) To test methods and equipment for feasibility; (2) To estimate time and resource needs / refine sampling design.
Marking: 1 mark each. Common mistake: confusing pilot with main study.

Q3. [2]
Answer: Type: quantitative primary data (continuous). Limitation: tape may sag or banks irregular, reducing accuracy; single cross-section misses channel variability.
Marking: 1 for type, 1 for limitation.

Q4. [2]
Answer: Primary = collected firsthand by student (e.g., river depth). Secondary = existing data from agencies (e.g., NEA rainfall).
Marking: 1 each. Teach: primary gives control; secondary saves time but less site-specific.

Q5. [2]
Answer: Quadrat sampling; appropriate for vegetation density in a defined area. (Or systematic line transect for gradient.)
Marking: 1 name, 1 context.

Q6. [1]
Answer: Obtain informed consent / respect privacy of residents.
Marking: any ethical point.

Q7. [2]
Answer: Field sketch; purpose = record spatial arrangement of features at site. (Or annotated photo.)
Marking: 1 type, 1 purpose.

Q8. [2]
Answer: Interval = 1 hour. Weakness = no spatial comparison; may miss microclimate variation elsewhere.
Marking: 1 + 1.

Q9. [2]
Answer: To identify hazards (e.g., slippery rocks) and plan mitigation, ensuring student safety and legal compliance.
Marking: 1 identify, 1 explain.

Q10. [1]
Answer: Avoid trampling vegetation / use existing paths.
Marking: 1 mark.

Q11. [2]
Answer: (1) Standardise question wording; (2) Increase sample size / pilot questionnaire.
Marking: 1 each. Teach: reliability = consistency.

Q12. [3]
Answer: Sediment rises from 15 mg/L at A to 48 at B (urban peak), then falls to 33 at C. Urban site has highest due to runoff; agricultural lower than urban but above rural.
Marking: 1 for values, 1 for trend, 1 for contextual reason. Image must show bars 15/48/33.

Q13. [3]
Answer: Lay grid over area; place quadrats at regular intervals (e.g., every 5 m); record species at each. Ensures even coverage and reduces bias.
Marking: 1 method, 1 spacing, 1 purpose.

Q14. [3]
Answer: IV = % impervious cover; DV = runoff volume (L); Control = slope / rainfall intensity.
Marking: 1 each. Teach: IV manipulated, DV measured.

Q15. [3] Answer: As canopy cover decreases (90→10%), soil temp increases (24.1→30.5°C). Canopy shades soil; less cover = more solar heating.
Marking: 1 trend, 1 data, 1 explanation. Table values used.

Q16. [4]
Answer: Strengths: GPS precise, real-time location, route logging. Limitations: battery failure, signal loss in canopy. Paper: no power need but less precise, harder to georeference.
Marking: 2 strengths, 2 limitations (or balanced 2+2). Descriptors: clear comparison.

Q17. [3]
Answer: Method = systematic interval sampling. Advantage = regular, comparable. Limitation = misses off-interval peaks.
Marking: 1 + 1 + 1.

Q18. [3]
Answer: Line graph shows continuous change/trend over time; bar chart compares discrete categories. Wrong choice obscures trend or implies false continuity.
Marking: 1 each aspect.

Q19. [3]
Answer: Space points evenly along 200 m transect (e.g., 40 m apart); captures zonation from shore to forest. Map shows P1–P5 with zones.
Marking: 1 spacing, 1 reason, 1 link to map.

Q20. [4]
Answer: Strength: snapshot of conditions, cost-effective. Limitation: no seasonal variation, weather-specific, cannot infer annual regime.
Marking: 2 strength, 2 limitation. Teach: seasonal discharge needs repeat visits.
