A-Level Geography H2 Quiz - Map Graph Data Skills (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 40
Topic: Map Graph Data Skills (syllabus-aligned, AI-generated from Stage 4 patterns; not past-year derived)
Section A Answers (Q1–5)
Q1 [2]
Answer: Area X is classified as Aw (tropical savanna).
Teaching note: Köppen-Geiger zones in the humid tropics include Af (rainforest), Am (monsoon), Aw (savanna). Central Kalimantan at 1°S with Aw to south and Af to north places X in the transitional savanna zone. 1 mark for zone, 1 mark for correct code Aw.
Q2 [2]
Answer: (i) Humid tropics show high and year-round rainfall (Af/Am); arid tropics (BSh) show low rainfall. (ii) Humid tropics have denser vegetation; arid have sparse.
Marking: 1 mark each characteristic. Common mistake: confusing BWh (desert) with BSh (steppe).
Q3 [1]
Answer: Class width = 400 ÷ 4 = 100 persons/km².
Teaching: Equal interval = (max–min)/classes = 400/4.
Q4 [2]
Answer: Grid reference 0487 (easting 04, northing 87).
Note: Four-figure grid reference uses first two digits of easting and northing.
Q5 [3]
Answer: Strength: easy visual comparison of spatial variation (1). Limitation: masks variation within districts (1); arbitrary class boundaries can mislead (1).
Marking: 1+1 for valid pair, 1 for explanation quality.
Section B Answers (Q6–12)
Q6 [3]
Answer: Bangkok has a marked wet season Sep–Oct (peak ~320 mm) and dry season Nov–Mar (<40 mm); strongly seasonal unlike Singapore.
Marking: 1 monsoon peak, 1 dry period, 1 contrast with aperiodic SG.
Q7 [3]
Working: BKK annual = 20+30+50+50+150+200+250+300+320+250+80+10 = 1710 mm. SG ≈ 12×200 = 2400 mm (using mid 200). Diff = 2400–1710 = 690 mm.
Marks: 1 calculation BKK, 1 SG, 1 difference.
Q8 [3]
Vietnam: (340–150)/150×100 = 127%. Indonesia: (620–410)/410×100 = 51%. Vietnam's increase >2× Indonesia's.
Marks: 1 each % , 1 comparison.
Q9 [2]
Answer: Coal (45%) and Gas (25%); combined 70%.
1 mark each part.
Q10 [2]
Answer: Strong positive correlation (r=0.82) suggests higher GDP associates with larger footprint.
1 for positive, 1 for interpretation.
Q11 [2]
Answer: Correlation shows association not cause; other factors (technology, policy) may drive both.
1 mark each.
Q12 [3]
Answer: Early/expanding stage (1); implication: high youth dependency, future labour surge (2).
Marks: 1 stage, 2 implication.
Section C Answers (Q13–20)
Q13 [2]
Answer: Negative relationship – higher HDI links to lower forest % (A high HDI low forest). 1 mark trend, 1 example.
Q14 [2]
Mean = (38+62+45+71)/4 = 216/4 = 54%. 1 working, 1 answer.
Q15 [1]
Answer: 30% built-up.
Q16 [2]
6 dots × 5 = 30 events. 1 calc, 1 answer.
Q17 [2]
Answer: North likely higher drainage density → faster runoff (1); more impervious surface (1).
Q18 [2]
Answer: Steady rise +0.2 to +1.0 °C per decade (1); warming accelerating (1).
Q19 [2]
Answer: Emphasises magnitude not land area (1); avoids bias of large countries (1).
Q20 [3]
Answer: Map shows spatial pattern (1), line graph shows temporal change (1), together reveal location-specific trends for policy (1).
Marking descriptors: 3 = clear synergy, 2 = partial, 1 = single merit.
