Level 3 Geo Exams 2013

2. Overall Comments
 The questions required some reading and selection
of key words.
 Both questions were about the effects of TD
 Students who planned, wrote a better answer.
 Students who included specific information achieved
at a higher level. You must include specific info to
achieve higher than a 2
 Maps must be appropriate to the question not just a
pre learnt one.

3. Question One
 This question was about how the temporal variations
of the process of TD have resulted in variations in the
environment.
 This means you need to talk about how tourism
development has changed and how these changes
have affected the environment.
 This was more than just the story of how tourism
happened in the setting

4. Question One
 So …
 You needed to discuss how tourism development
worked in two (or more) different times
 And
 How this affected the environment

5. Question one
 The Map needed to show a change in the
environment between time 1 and time 2
 The map needed to be annotated or labelled to show
the effects on the environment.
 There were some excellent maps done. See if you can
find one in your class to have a look at.
 Good maps got a double tick.

6. Question One
 So the answer should have included
 The effects you should have talked about were.
 More building, new attractions built, landscape
changes, pollution of lakes and rivers.
 Also you needed to talk about concentration or
agglomeration of features and some dispersal too.

7. Question two
 This question was about the effects of TD on the
people and place.
 Economic (e+-), Social (s+-), Environmental (en+-)
 The effects need to have been linked to a specific
place, group, person or amount of money. So not just
‘lots of jobs’ but ‘1 in 4 jobs in Rotorua are the result
of TD’

8. Question two
 The good answers were well structured with
paragraphs for each type of effect.
 Students who tried to include Hawaii struggled as we
have not covered this yet.
 Make sure you understand how the locations are
affected by TD

9. Question two
 The Map had to show the effects in ONE location
(RTQ) so you had to label on the map where the
effects were seen/occurred.
 Good maps used a colour coded system to show types
of effects and labelled them as positive or negative.
 There were some excellent maps done – see if you
can find one in your class – good maps had double
ticks.
