Answer #59Students must use the sources. 1 mark for each of two threats 1 mark for each solution If threats are listed 0.5 for each of two to a maximum of 1 mark

Threats to Environment:* Desertification Ozone Layer Damage Soil Erosion Rise in Ocean Temperature Pollution Acid Rain Overgrazing Global Warming Salination Deforestation CO2 levels increase 55 Overall question 59 was understood as students used their own geographical knowledge tosupport the information provided in the sources.

However, there were cases where studentssimply listed and defined the threats without giving a solution for each.

Students, did not explain the solution to the threat. only interpreted the illustration rather than answer the question Answer #60 Students must use the sources. 2 marks for each of two reasons 0.5 mark if reason is listed plus 1.5 for explanation

57 Answer #60 taly is a developed country while Afghanistan is a developing country.

Due to level of development, Italy would have more money for relief efforts, more money to rebuild infrastructure, etc.

Better communication/quicker responses Better medical facilities Extensive road system may provide better access to injured people, etc. Early warning systems Extensive road systems may provide better access to injured people (etc.) or for evacuation. 58Italy has higher percentage of workforce in tertiary sector, therefore more trained personnel (ie. doctors, firefighters, etc.) suitable for rescue operations. Italys population is more educated and therefore better able to have knowledge to deal with these events.As a developed country, Italy would have better building codes, etc., so that structuraldamage etc., may not be as great as Afghanistan.! Afghanistan is involved in conflict/war which would affect their ability to commit money/manpower/other resources to deal with a catastrophic event.

Students, only listed the reasons without giving an explanation. did not understand the term catastrophic event. discussed reasons why outside governments/countries would or would not help Italy or `Afghanistan in the event of a disasterSECTION B TOTAL VALUE: 4%Do only ONE of the Units in Section B.Either: Unit 6 - Population Distribution and Growth (# 61)Or: Unit 7 - Settlement and Urbanization (# 62).

61. Using the diagram below, explain how world population is changing and how birth and death rates have influenced this trend.Grading Key: 2 marks for describing changes in world population from graph 2 marks for influence of birth and death rates on this trendAnswers Population increased slowly up to 1850 Growth rate increased slightly from 1850 to 1950 Very rapid growth from 1950 onward Leveling of growth rate with slight increase after 2050 Possible decline after 2150 Main reason for rapid population increase after 1945-50 were improvements in economic, social and medical conditions. This caused significant reductions in death rates. Population may stabilize due to:- decreased birth rates.- decrease in proportion of population in child bearing years.- decrease in birth rates caused by infertility brought on by pollution.- increase in deaths from environmental pollutants.Students, did not use the source as a reference in their answer. used the graphic but did not show the influence of birth and death rates. gave little elaboration in their answers. provided answers that were poorly written and explained.Units 1 - 5CASE STUDY 1: The Nile River: A Mixed Blessing 63. Using one example from the case study and one example from your geographical knowledge, explain two ways human activity is influenced by climatic conditions.Grading Key

2 marks for example from case study (0.5 for listing example plus 1.5 for explanation) 2 marks for example from geographical knowledge (0.5 for listing example plus 1.5 for explanation)AnswersFrom the Case Study:! Building of dam to help in periods of drought! This forced people to use artificial fertilizer which contaminated fish and affected thefood supply.! Health problems increased! Cultural icons were destroyed! Flooding increased, which in turn affected food security. (Destroyed crops, etc). Loss oflivestock, destruction of homes! Nile River provides source of waterFromFrom Geographical knowledge:Any acceptable influence of climate on human activity: Sea level changes Global warming Recreation Occupations/professions Heat Transportation Sporting Events Clothing/dress Construction/housing Ozones Earthquakes/volcanoes Desertification Settlement patterns Acid rainStudents, gave two examples from either case study or geographical knowledge instead of one from each.

read the question incorrectly giving two examples of how human activities influenced climate instead of how climate influenced human activity.64. Countries in East Africa sometimes have problems recovering from disasters such as floods and drought. Based on the case study and your geographical knowledge, what two factors have contributed to this? Explain using social or economic indicators.Grading Key 2 marks for each of two factors fully explained 1 mark for each factor listed 1 mark for each explanationAnswers* Countries of East Africa are classified as developing (terminology may vary) andtherefore are very poor and have little money to prevent or recover from droughts or floods or other natural disasters. East Africa is also affected by internal conflicts.

Highly agriculturally based and need all available land to provide food. Floods, etc. threaten food security High birth rates mean it is already difficult to feed population. Floods/droughts, etc. have devastating effects on the young population. Poorly constructed homes Population density adds to the devastation Frequency of disasters Lack of health care
