I am predicting that a similar question to this may appear in the 2022 summer exam due to the advanced information by AQA.
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)
‘Human activity always has a negative impact on the development of landforms of coastal deposition.’
To what extent do you agree with this view? (20 marks)
Assess the view that tides are the most important factor in the development of mudflats in estuarine environments. (9 marks)
Exemplar answers to these AQA 2019 AS questions.

Model answer to go with the following AQA 20 mark Geography essay question.
With reference to a multi-hazardous environment that you have studied, assess the view that the underlying cause(s) leading to the hazards is human activity rather than physical factors.
Evaluate the view that mitigation strategies are more important than adaptation strategies in addressing the risks posed by the degradation of the carbon cycle. (20) Edexcel 2018 (PHYSICAL SYSTEMS AND SUSTAINABILITY)
This resource includes an exemplar essay that has been written with guidance from the mark scheme.
This resource also includes links to wider reading material and supportive tasks that will help students to examine the key elements of the essay.
