- 10. “Using named examples, comment on the success of two contrasting types of coastal defence.” “For a named area, describe the fieldwork and research you used to investigate pressures at the coast.” “For a rural or an urban area. Describe the results & conclusions of your fieldwork and research to investigate the need for rebranding.” “Using examples, explain the ways in which rural areas have been rebranded to attract both new businesses and visitors.” UNIT 2 - 2015 A B C D
- 11. “Using egs, explain how coastal development (such as housing and industry) can have both economic benefits and environmental costs” “Describe the fieldwork and research methods that you used to investigate the success of coastal defences along a named stretch of coastline” “Choose either a rural or an urban area. Describe how you analysed and presented the results of your fieldwork and research into rebranding scheme”” “Using examples, explain how some places have used rebranding to become more sustainable” UNIT 2 - 2014 A B C D

- 14. “Using examples, explain the threats facing culture and environment in extreme environments” (8 marks) In the Australian outback where Aborigines live, tourism can cause cultural dilution. This is where the culture becomes weaker, and history can be forgotten. Also, important sites like Uluru can be treated disrespectfully by tourists, and cave paintings can be damaged. Mining can also damage the landscape where they live. Climate change can threaten the environment because Australia will have more drought, causing desertification In the Polar Regions, like in Alaska, where the Inuit people live, their culture can be diluted by tourism. Also, oil spills (like in 1989) can threaten the environment. Lastly, climate change will cause sea temperatures to rise which will melt more sea ice in the Arctic, making it harder for Inuit to fish. 3 Ways to tackle exam practice questions “Annotated” answer Mindmap / brainstorm Written answer
