Answers

Secondary 2 Geography Quiz - Fieldwork: Answer Key

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Fieldwork (Syllabus-aligned, generated from LLM-inferred patterns; not claimed as past-year derived.)

Section A: Fieldwork Basics

Q1. B (1 mark)
Teaching note: Fieldwork means going out to the real environment to observe and collect data, not just reading. Purpose = collect real-world data to study geography.

Q2. C (1 mark)
Teaching note: Primary source = collected by you. A survey you conduct is primary; Wikipedia is secondary.

Q3. B (1 mark)
Teaching note: Quadrat = square frame placed on ground to count plants/features in that fixed area for sampling.

Q4. B (1 mark)
Teaching note: Transect = a line across a landscape to record how features change with distance.

Q5. B (1 mark)
Teaching note: Risk assessment identifies hazards (e.g., traffic, weather) so the trip is safe.

Section B: Methods and Tools

Q6. Any one: thermometer, anemometer, rain gauge, compass. (1 mark)
Teaching note: Weather tools measure wind, temp, rain. Accept any correct tool.

Q7. Any one: collects views from many people; cheap; gives quantitative data. (1 mark)
Teaching note: Questionnaire advantage = standardised answers from respondents.

Q8. (2 marks: 1 for idea, 1 for elaboration)
e.g., “It helps test the method (1) so you can fix confusing questions before real data collection (1).”
Teaching note: Pilot study = trial to improve design.

Q9. (2 marks, 1 each)
(a) North arrow (b) Scale bar (also accept title, foreground/middle/background labels)
Teaching note: Field sketch must show direction and scale to be useful. Image shows these labels.

Q10. B (1 mark)
Teaching note: Number of cars = numerical = quantitative.

Q11. (2 marks)

Counting all takes too long / area too big (1)
Sampling gives estimate using less time (1)
Teaching note: Sampling saves time but must be representative.

Q12. Any one: random sampling, larger sample, multiple sites. (1 mark)

Section C: Applied Fieldwork

Q13. (2 marks)
e.g., “Place 5 quadrats randomly, count litter pieces in each, calculate total.” (method = 1, detail = 1)
Teaching note: Quantitative = numerical count.

Q14. (2 marks)
Noise decreases from 85 dB at 0 m to 58 dB at 50 m (1); gradual fall with distance (1).
Teaching note: Use graph values; trend = decrease.

Q15. (2 marks)
Decrease = 85 – 58 = 27 dB (2 for working + answer)
Working: 85 dB (0 m) − 58 dB (50 m) = 27 dB.
Teaching note: Subtract start from end.

Q16. (2 marks)
Rain can raise river depth (1); record weather to explain changes (1).
Teaching note: Weather is a variable affecting physical data.

Q17. (2 marks)
Location X (1); more public transport users present at mall (1).
Teaching note: Representativeness – sample the population of interest.

Q18. (2 marks)
No (1); “nice” is opinion, not observable/measurable (1).
Teaching note: Good observation is factual e.g., “10 benches”.

Q19. (2 marks, 1 each)
Any two: aim, method, results, conclusion, map.
Teaching note: Report communicates process and findings.

Q20. (4 marks)
Area A: 40 pieces / 100 m² = 40 per 100 m² (1)
Area B: 10 / 100 m² = 10 per 100 m² (1)
A is more littered (1) because density higher (1).
Teaching note: Density = count / area; compare directly.
