Version 2 — Answer Key with Teaching Notes

Section A: Data Interpretation

Q1 [2]
Answer: June (250 mm) and May (200 mm).
Teaching: Read the table and find the highest values. June = 250, May = 200, Jul = 230. Top two are Jun and May.
Marking: 1 mark each correct month.

Q2 [2]
Working: 20+35+60+120+200+250+230+180+140+90+45+25 = 1395 mm.
Answer: 1395 mm.
Teaching: Add all 12 monthly values. Show sum clearly.
Marking: 1 for working, 1 for correct total.

Q3 [2]
Answer: Temperature is high throughout the year, ranging from 26.5°C to 28.5°C with little variation (about 2°C range).
Teaching: Read line values from graph; note small difference between min and max = equatorial stability.
Marking: 1 for high temp stated, 1 for low variation/values.

Q4 [1]
Answer: Equatorial climate.
Teaching: High year-round temp + high rain = equatorial (near equator).
Marking: 1 correct.

Q5 [2]
Working: Total 2018 = 250; 2019 = 300; 2020 = 130 (drop 57%); 2021 = 225. Drop 2019→2020 = (300-130)/300 = 56.7%.
Answer: 2020.
Teaching: Calculate total each year, then % drop. 2020 shows biggest fall due to likely pandemic.
Marking: 1 for identifying 2020, 1 for correct reasoning.
