PAPER.2
COASTS
Explain how erosion and deposition can change the
shape of a coastline.
Using your own knowledge, describe and explain how
people make use of the coastline.
Describe some of the threats that coastal erosion can
bring. Explain how the coastline can be protected.
Describe how corrasion (abrasion) erodes the cliffs.
Draw an annotated diagram to explain the movement
of sand and pebbles along a beach.
Describe ways in which rapid erosion by the sea affects
the lives of people who live along the coast.
Explain two ways that could be used to protect the
coastline from erosion. Use an example or examples to
help your answer.
Explain how hydraulic action erodes cliffs.
Draw an annotated diagram to explain why processes
of coastal erosion, other than hydraulic action, may
result in cliff retreat.
Explain the advantages and disadvantages of different
strategies to manage the coastline. Use one or more
examples you have studied to help your answer.
Explain how named processes lead to the formation of
one coastal landform. You must use one or more
labelled diagrams to support your answer.
Rising sea-levels pose a threat to many coastal areas.
Explain how different coastal management strategies
along the coastline can be used to reduce this threat.
Refer to named places.
Describe how hard engineering strategies, like the use
of groynes, can help protect the coastline from erosion
by waves.
Evidence shows that coastal environments may need
to be managed differently in the future. What do you
think is the most sustainable way to manage coastlines
in the face of rising sea level? Explain your reasons for
recommending this strategy.
Describe how landforms affect the lives of people living
along the coastline. Use examples.
Explain why named processes lead to the formation of
spits.
LIVING THINGS
Describe the local consequences of the unsustainable
use of use of ecosystem on people and the
environment. Use examples.
Describe how the physical environment interacts with
with living things to produce different ecosystems. Use
examples.
Describe how people can use ecosystems sustainably.
Use examples in your answer.
Explain the local consequences of the unsustainable
use of use of ecosystem on people and the
environment. Use examples.
How does the physical environment interact with living
things in an ecosystem? Draw a diagram below to
explain some of these interactions.
Suggest how climate influences the type of biome.
To what extent have people been successful in
managing their use of natural ecosystems? Use one or
more examples to help your answer.
Suggest one way in which people have a negative
effect and one way in which they may have a positive
effect on ecosystems.
Explain the links which exist in an ecosystem. You
should refer to examples that you have studied to help
your answer.
Describe and explain how one named ecosystem can
be managed sustainably.
Explain how human activity can damage ecosystems.
For one ecosystem that you have studied, explain two
ways in which it can be used sustainably.
TOURISM
Explain how any two natural factors can lead to the
development of tourism in one region you have
studied.
Describe how different physical and human factors
lead to different forms of tourist development. Use
named places to help your answer.
Explain why attracting large numbers of tourists to
sporting events like the Olympic Games or the Football
World Cup can have a positive impact on the host
country.
Explain how tourism can have a negative impact on the
environment in an MEDC.
Why have LEDCs attempted to develop sustainable
tourism? Why have these efforts been sometimes
abandoned?
Give two reasons that help to explain why more people
may decide to take their holidays in the UK instead of
going abroad.
Explain why tourism can bring both advantages and
disadvantages for people and the environment of one
region you have studied.
Explain how tourism can have different impacts on one
MEDC region you have studied.
Explain how tourism can be managed sustainably.
Describe how tourism can be developed in a
sustainable way.
Explain how tourism can bring disadvantages for
people and the environment. Use a located example to
help your answer.
