Answer either Question 1 or Question 2 or Question 3. Question 1 Water and carbon cycles 0 1 . 1 Which of the following describes a cause of precipitation? [1 mark] A As air rises from the Earth’s surface due to convection, it warms as it gets higher and changes state from liquid to ice. B At a cold front, warmer, less dense air is forced to sink under denser, colder air leading to cloud formation along the front. C When air is forced to rise over hills it cools, water vapour condenses forming clouds and water then falls to the surface of the Earth. D When the humidity of the air decreases, it means more liquid water can change state and become water vapour. 3 (03) G/Jun24/7036/1 Do not write outside the box Turn over 8 0 1 . 2 In the carbon cycle, what is respiration? [1 mark] A A transfer of carbon from a solid state to a gaseous state, when combined with oxygen during combustion of organic material. B Animal and plant cells use oxygen to free energy from stored carbohydrates, releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. C As organic material decomposes and is broken down, carbon is returned to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. D Where plants use solar energy to combine carbon dioxide from the atmosphere with water and release oxygen as a by-product. 0 1 . 3 Outline impacts of wildfires on major stores of carbon.

G/Jun24/7036/1 Do not write outside the box Turn over 8 Question 2 Coastal systems and landscapes 0 2 . 1 Which of the following are all sources of energy in the coastal system? [1 mark] A Currents driven by temperature differences in the ocean, tidal flows driven by gravity and waves generated by wind. B Eustatic changes in sea level, ocean currents driven by variations in temperature and sediment added to a beach by mass movement. C Isostatic changes in sea level, local tidal flows and sediment deposited in estuaries by rivers. D Tidal currents driven by gravity, the movement of sediment by longshore drift and the accumulation of sediment on offshore bars. 0 2 . 2 Which of the following describes a process of mass movement at the coast? [1 mark] A Breaking waves trap air as they hit a cliff face, creating pressure and weakening the rock. B Rocks at the coast are weakened and broken down in the presence of air and water, and by the action of animals and plants. C Where water acts as a lubricant between different layers of material in a cliff, gravity causes a downwards rotational movement. D Wind reaching the coast provides enough energy to allow sand particles to be transported and thrown against a cliff face. 0 2 . 3 Outline processes involved in the development of estuarine mudflat environments.
