• Watch the time carefully and try to finish each paper – this will be difficult.

• This is your only chance to try out a technique so use it wisely!

3.1 ANALYSE Natural Processes in the context of a geographic environment

• Our Geographic Environment is:• SOUTH MURIWAI BEACH

• The Natural Processes we study are:• Wave Action Long shore Drift• Wave Erosion Saltation• Aeolian Deposition.• The criteria that may be assessed include:

The size and extent of the geographic environment and the natural features of this

geographic environment

• Where is your Geographic environment?

• What are the boundaries / size?

• What are the main features and where are they on a map?

The natural processes that operate (and may interact) in the geographic environment

• How do each of the processes work as a series of steps or actions?

Wave Erosion, Saltation, LSD and Aeolian Deposition.

• How do 2 of these processes show interaction?

Suggest LSD and Saltation.

What is the distribution and formation of the natural features

• How has the stack and a sand dune formed as a series of actions?

• Why are they found

where they are?

What are the spatial variations in the operation of natural processes in the

geographic environment

• Name 2 processes that show good spatial variation and say where happen most and least

Suggest Wave Erosion and Saltation.

• Explain why these variations occur.

What are the temporal variations in the operation of natural processes in the

geographic environment

• Name a temporal variation that occurs in a process

Suggest Wave Action

• Say how this differs over 2 named time periods

Winter and Summer

What human actions have occurred that modify natural processes, and the

outcomes.

• Name 2 processes that people have changed

Suggest Saltation and Wave Erosion.

• Explain how people have changed these processes

• Explain what the outcomes of these changes have been.

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

• There are 2 questions.

• The first question has a choice. You do one of two questions

• Each question requires an illustrated (use diagrams) essay.

• The second you must do

• This involves a diagram /map for part (a) and a written part (b).

The content includes:

• The reason for the distribution of features

• The formation of two features

• Human modification of a process

3.2 Analyse a Cultural Process

• Our cultural process is:• TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

• Our case studies are:• NZ ROTORUA

• Overseas: WAIKIKI,HAWAII

• Check you can locate these on maps. Criteria assessed include:

The operation of the cultural process

• What are the 4 elements involved?

• How does the process

work as a series of stages

The temporal variations found in the cultural process

• What are the 4 stages of the butler model?

• What are the characteristics of each stage?

• What examples of each stage are there for both Rotorua and Waikiki?

The spatial variations found in the cultural process

• Show different patterns of where TD happens the most and least in both settings.

• Identify specific patterns of TD on a map of both settings eg linear, clustered.

• Give reasons for the patterns identified above. Why there and not there.

Identify factors that have brought about change in the cultural process

• Name an example of an Internal Factor for the Rotorua setting of each of:

Social, Political, Economic, Environmental, Cultural and Historical change.

• Name an example of an External Factor for the Rotorua setting of each of:

Social, Political, Economic, Environmental, Cultural and Historical change.

The effects of the cultural process on people and places

• Give examples of negative effects in each setting for each of:

Social, cultural, Economic and Environmental factors

• Give examples of positive effects in each setting for each of:

Social, cultural, Economic and Environmental factors

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

• There are 2 questions.

• For the first question you get a choice. Each question has 2 parts:

• A. A map or diagram• B A written part based on the diagram.

• The second question is compulsory. This question is an essay only.

The content includes:

• Spatial variation in the process

• The operation of the process

• Effects of the process on people

3.4 Select and Apply Skills and Ideas in a geographic context

• For this you will be given a resource booklet. All answers must be based on this. Do not add to this information.

REMEMBER:

• Read the question carefully and highlight key words.

• Detail means to give specific information – case studies and/or statistics and/or names.

• Try every question – guess if not sure.

WHAT IS THE FORMAT?

• 2. A graphing question and its interpretation.

• You must answer both questions.

Content includes:
