Coastal systems and landscapes preparation pack for the 2022 exams. The following questions are predicted questions based upon the advanced information from AQA (7037 & 7036). This pack is designed be used in order to help prepare students for this summer’s A/S and A level geography exam for the coastal unit. However, I have no inside knowledge of AQA exams, and I would encourage students to revise other parts of the course as well. This pack includes: Exemplar answers to the following questions: Using figure 1 and your own knowledge, assess the view that gravitational/tidal energy is the most important source of energy in the development of this coastal landscape. (6 marks) (A level) Assess the role of geomorphological processes in the formation of fjords. (6 marks) (A level) Assess the role of feedback systems in the formation of landscapes of coastal deposition. [9 marks] (AS question.) “Attempts of mitigation and adaption by coastal managers will effectively manage the risks and allow opportunities for human occupation as well as development.” With reference to a coastal landscape beyond the UK, to what extent do you agree with this view? [20 marks] (AS & A level) This pack also includes five tasks to help students to improve their knowledge and understanding of this content, as well as links to website to help promote wider reading. From my experience most students are unable to achieve the highest grades as their responses reply to heavily on the core textbook. By using the exemplar essay students will gain a deeper understanding of the issues that are required to achieve the top grades. In addition to the questions in this pack I would encourage students to practice the analyse question from the additional specimen paper on sediment transport pathways or the Chabahar Bay question from the 2018 paper.

Exemplar answers to these questions from the 2019 AQA A level paper: ‘Shoreline management/integrated coastal zone management can effectively tackle the expected eustatic sea level change and associated threat to coastal landscapes over the coming decades.’ 20 marks Using Figure 6 and your own knowledge, assess the role of vegetation in the development of this landscape. (6 marks) Explain the formation of a saltmarsh environment. (4 marks)

With reference to at least one food commodity or one manufactured product. Assess the extent that international trade and investment can promote stability, growth and development for people and places. (20 marks) This resource supports the teaching of global systems and global governance unit. This resource includes: Exemplar answer to the question above. Links to wider reading material. Key word activity. I am predicting that a similar question to this may appear in the 2022 summer exam due to the advanced information by AQA.

“Human activity affects coasts globally. This interference with coastal processes is the key determining factor in shaping coastal landscapes.” To what extent do you agree with this opinion? (20 marks) Model answer for the above AQA Geography A level essay question. An activity to go with this model answer is also included. Please download to access the whole essay.

Model answers included for the following questions: Assess the role of sub-aerial processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of erosional processes in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Assess the role of transport pathways in the development of coastal landforms. (9) Under the previous A level Geography specification exam questions often focused on describing landforms and explaining the formational processes. However, the new specification expects students to be able to assess the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes. This work sheet helps students to achieve this. The resources includes: An outline of how wave cut platforms form. A systems analysis activity on wave cut platforms. Exam questions and models answers to support students in assessing the role of different processes in the creation of coastal landscapes.
